How each call scored

35 checkable claims — 32 mock draft picks, 2 position order calls and 1 positional finish — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 56 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

33 of 35 have settled so far, averaging 69.6 out of 100, against 47.6 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.

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.
