What Garrett Podell said

our reading, beside the words we read it from
Washington had been starved for a threat at their No. 2 wide receiver spot opposite McLaurin early on in training camp, but that role is now filled by Diggs, a longtime No. 1 option himself.

How each call scored

a naive guessbetter than naive

2 checkable claims — 1 depth chart call and 1 trade and signing 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.

1 of 2 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess at the same calls.

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.
