- 1Alec Anderson to be 1st on the depth chart“They did lose David Edwards, right, they got to replace him with Alec Anderson... A lot of the time he played was a tackle. Now he's gonna have to shift the guard. But I'm really not worried about that transition.”
- 2Warren McClendon Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart“Now they are changing the right tackle Rob Havenstein retired, but if you look at it, Warren mclinnon actually started more games in the position there last year than Havenstein did, so he's also another guy who's prepared to take over.”
- 3Position Group Rankings“Let's go from five to one... I'm going with the Buffalo Bills... Number four is going to be the Los Angeles Rams... It's Jeff Stallin and it's the Philadelphia Eagles [at three]... At number two, I got the Steelers... Number one is... the Denver Broncos”

How each call scored
3 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls and 1 position group ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
Of the 2 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.

Cowherd predicts Matt Stafford stays with the Rams rather than moving on, and says Travis Hunter may underachieve because they're being asked to play both ways — Cowherd doubts they're a No. 1 receiver and would slot them as a No. 2 receiver while being a No. 1 corner.
