Nick Wright praised the Trent McDuffie trade from Kansas City's side, called McDuffie the best slot corner in football, predicted the Chiefs stay put at No. 9 in the draft and use their first-rounders on skill positions and defensive line, expects Jalen Watson to leave in free agency, and believes the Eagles must trade A.J. Brown, possibly to New England for the 31st pick.

4 checkable claims — 2 trade and signing calls, 1 positional finishe and 1 team draft slot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

1 of 4 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 above the rest of the room.

  A.J. Brown to move

  “I think the Eagles have to trade AJ Brown. Yes, I do not think they can run it back another year... could they get the thirty first pick straight up from New England for AJ Brown? I would think so.”

• Positional FinishesTrent McDuffieLos Angeles RamsMar 6, 2026

  Trent McDuffie to finish top 1 at his position, by interceptions

  “McDuffie's an excellent player... a good outside corner and the single best slot corner in football. I think he is the best in football at slot corner.”

  Too vague to check — we could not tell what would count as right.

• Trade and Signing CallsJaylen WatsonMar 6, 2026

  Jaylen Watson to move

  “Jalen Watson, their other starting corner, seventh round pick, is gonna hit free agency and get paid a bunch of money by other people, by somebody else... They are letting him walk.”

  Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.

• Chris SimmsScore Predictions · Kansas City ChiefsHit · 100
  Simms went through the entire Week 3 slate with straight-up winners and predicted final scores, taking Jacksonville, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Detroit, Houston, Carolina, Kansas City, Seattle, the Giants, Baltimore, New Orleans, Minnesota, San Francisco, Denver and Philadelphia. He also expected Zay Flowers and Puka Nacua to sit, Kyler Murray to play, and said Marvin Harrison Jr. projects as no better than a good No. 2 or high-end No. 3 receiver.

  Long liked the Rams over the Broncos on Sunday night even without Puka Nacua, and expected the Bills to beat the winless Chargers in Buffalo. He also backed the Bengals over the Steelers, expected an angry Detroit team to handle the Jets, and still thought both the Lions and Vikings could win the NFC North.

• Bucky BrooksTrade and Signing Calls · J.J. McCarthyHit · 100
  Brooks predicted J.J. McCarthy won't be on the Vikings' roster (traded or released), said Kyler Murray wins the Vikings' QB competition, made a series of 2025 award picks, made 2026 Heisman/draft projections including Arch Manning as the front-runner for the No. 1 overall pick, and said none of Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen or Joe Burrow win a championship this season.
