1Ladd McConkey to be 2nd on the depth chart“Yes, he's more of that wide receiver too, just because I don't think the other guys completely go away. But Yeah, I'm in on Lad this week.”
2Positional Finishes“he will see least enough volume to probably maybe crack in the top thirty six, but probably not be better than like a top thirty receiver when the dust settles”

How each call scored

a naive guessbetter than naive

2 claims — 1 depth chart call and 1 positional finish — the one we can check graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

The one call we can check scored 100 out of 100, against 91.7 for a naive guess at the same calls.

The other one was too vague to check, so it is not graded.

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.
