How the call scored
One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.
Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in.
The 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 call; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.

Kyle Crabbs · Mock Draft Picks · Will Johnson · Close 52
In their final 2025 NFL mock draft, Crabbs projects all 32 first-round picks, starting with Cam Ward to the Titans at No. 1 and Travis Hunter to the Browns at No. 2, and including projected trades involving the Bears/Jaguars and a Giants move back into the late first round for Jaxson Dart.Colin Cowherd · Mock Draft Picks · Will Johnson · Miss 19
Cowherd delivered their own top-15 draft board — what they would do as GM of each team — pairing prospects with picks 1 through 15, and separately argued Shedeur Sanders is a far better prospect than Daniel Jones and that Aaron Rodgers should retire.Mel Kiper · Mock Draft Picks · Will Johnson · Miss 21
Kiper's mock draft 4.0, as read out on the show, has Cam Ward going No. 1, Travis Hunter No. 2 to Cleveland, Shedeur Sanders sliding to No. 9 to New Orleans, and a full first round plus second-round picks including a Bears haul of Tyler Warren, Walter Nolen and TreVeyon Henderson.

Peter Schrager · Combine Superlatives · Brenen Thompson · Hit 100
Schrager flagged Mississippi State's Brennan Thompson as the man likely to post the fastest 40-yard dash at this combine.Daniel Jeremiah · Combine Superlatives · Brenen Thompson · Hit 100
As relayed by Eisen, Jeremiah said Mississippi State receiver Brenny Thompson could break Xavier Worthy's combine 40-yard dash record.Daniel Jeremiah · Combine Superlatives · Brenen Thompson · Hit 100
Jeremiah previewed the combine with a series of draft projections: Ty Simpson ranked around 40th on their board with first-round upside, Garrett Nussmeier landing on Day 2 (more likely third round than second), Jeremiyah Love as a top-10 pick, Jeneian Price as a second-round pick, and Jermal McCoy potentially the first cornerback drafted.Daniel Jeremiah · Combine Superlatives · Brenen Thompson · Hit 100
Jeremiah says Fernando Mendoza is the best player in the draft and a lock to be the first overall pick by the Raiders, grades them behind the 2024 trio of Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels, and outlines a mock draft with David Bailey to the Jets, Reese falling to seventh, Ruben Bain to the Titans, and Tate to the Giants at five. They also expect Ty Simpson to go outside the first round, names Brennan Thompson as the favorite for the fastest 40 at the combine, and expects Mendoza not to throw while Simpson does.Mike Renner · Combine Superlatives · Trey'Dez Green · Waiting
Renner ranks the top 10 tight end prospects in the upcoming class, led by Oregon's Jamari Johnson, and attaches an early draft grade to each — Johnson early Day 2, Reynolds/Carter/Green Day 2, Rodriguez late Day 2, and Hasley, Odom, Luckie, Ohrstrom and Vonnahme early Day 3. They also predict Johnson will be the draft's TE1 and that Trey'Dez Green will record the longest wingspan ever measured at the NFL Scouting Combine.Daniel Jeremiah · Combine Superlatives · Brandon Thompson · Waiting
At the combine, Jeremiah laid out their read of the top of the draft: Mendoza first overall to the Raiders, David Bailey to the Jets at No. 2, Ruben Bain to the Titans at 4, Cornell Tate to the Giants, Jeremiah Love in the 7-9 range, and Ty Simpson as the second quarterback taken. They also expect receiver Brandon Thompson to challenge the 40-yard dash record.
