What Peter Schrager said

our reading, beside the words we read it from
Lemon fits with a lot of what the Rams do on offense, and taking the 2025 Biletnikoff award winner would be a sign that the Rams are truly all in to win in 2026

How each call scored

a naive guessbetter than naive

4 checkable claims — 3 mock draft picks and 1 position order call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 6 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

All 4 have settled, averaging 78.5 out of 100, against 40.4 for a naive guess at the same calls.

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.
