Chris Brockman#36 of 87 NFL pundits · May 27, 2026
Brockman delivers their "way too early powerless rankings" — the bottom 10 NFL teams, 23 through 32 — and adds that the Cardinals will be the worst team in football with the No. 1 pick, that the Titans will improve but miss the playoffs, and that Bijan Robinson could threaten 2,000 yards from scrimmage.

How each call scored
2 checkable claims — 1 power ranking and 1 team draft slot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room.
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.
