How each call scored
12 checkable claims — 11 depth chart calls and 1 roster spot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 12 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
1 of 12 have settled so far, averaging 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls.
Of the 6 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 3 and below it on 3.
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.

Montorie Foster Jr to land on the practice squad
“The Seahawks will likely carry a few receivers on the practice squad. Foster is fighting with Cody White, Ricky White, Charles and Rochelle for those roles. If he continues to perform well in training camp, he will likely claim one of those spots”
