# James Harrison: Harrison predicts Dallas would offer two first-round picks (possibly plus a third) for Myles Garrett, doubts Ty Simpson is a first-round pick and says no quarterback other than Simpson-to-the-Raiders will go in the first round, while also saying Simpson will end up with the Raiders.

3 checkable claims — 1 mock draft pick, 1 position order call and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

2 of 3 have settled so far, averaging 35.4 out of 100, against 44.9 for a naive guess at the same calls.
