Darrion GrayJun 13, 2026
Gray predicts Quincy Riley will lead the Saints in interceptions, possibly with four; they also expect Cade Nellis to finish second on the team in sacks behind Chase Young, Jordan Tyson to play 15 games and lead the team in receiving touchdowns, Danny Stutzman to take Pete Werner's starting job, Riley to become a starting cornerback, and Christian Miller to become a highly impactful rotation piece. They also forecast roughly a 300-yard, three-touchdown season for Noah Fant.

How each call scored
11 checkable claims — 4 depth chart calls, 4 positional finishes and 3 player season numbers — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 8 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 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.
