David Harrison#57 of 87 NFL pundits · Apr 22, 2026
Harrison says Washington should take Sonny Styles at No. 7 if he's available, and names Jeremiah Love as his offensive 'stick and pick' at No. 7; he also predicts Love will be the best running back in the 2026 class barring injury, and lays out a hypothetical four-trade-back scenario with specific picks (framed explicitly as fun, not a forecast).

How each call scored
a naive guessbetter than naiveworse than naive4 checkable claims — 2 mock draft picks, 1 position order call and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 7 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
3 of 4 have settled so far, averaging 63.9 out of 100, against 42 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.
