Traina projects the Giants' initial 53-man roster position by position, naming who makes the team and who lands on the practice squad, including keeping Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Evan Neal (with a possible trade), Dalen Cambre over Braxton Berrios, Lucas Patrick as backup center, and Dominic Zvada as the kicker.

How each call scored

60 checkable claims — 58 roster spot calls and 2 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 59 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

53 of 60 have settled so far, averaging 92.5 out of 100, against 81.1 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.
