- 1MarShawn Lloyd to be 2nd on the depth chart“it wouldn't surprise me to see a healthy MarShawn Lloyd spell him more often ... the healthiest version of himself seems destined for a role in this 2026 offense”
- 2Josh Jacobs to be 1st on the depth chart“I still think Jacobs should remain the focal point of the Packers' rushing attack”
- 3Jordan Morgan to be 1st on the depth chart“Jordan Morgan is a brand-new starting left tackle after starting at guard his first two years in the league.”
- 4Josh Jacobs to fall short of his draft cost (Inside the top-50)“But will he be a true league-winning pick? I'm very bearish on that. ... Inside the top-50, I'm looking elsewhere.”

How each call scored
4 checkable claims — 3 depth chart calls and 1 fantasy bust call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 2.
Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
