How each call scored
43 checkable claims — 37 mock draft picks and 6 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 69 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
37 of 43 have settled so far, averaging 67.8 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.
Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 1.
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.
