- 1Shavon Revel Jr. to be picked “a second round pick at the very lowest” (picks 33–64)“But he probably is going to be a second round pick at the very lowest”
- 2Jihaad Campbell to be picked “top twenty” (picks 1–20)“if he ends up going higher, either higher than people think or certainly in the top twenty, I think he's gonna end up going because the upside seems really high to me.”
- 3Walter Nolen to be picked “earlier than his 26th consensus slot; could go top ten” (picks 1–10)“whatever the over under on where Walter Nolan draft, you know stock is, I am taking him getting drafted earlier... consensus board I just checked he's at twenty six... he is an kind of an under the radar guy who could go top ten.”
- 4Travis Hunter to be picked “won't get past Cleveland (No. 2)”“which is why I don't believe. I never believed that he was going to get pat get to the Patriots, and now I don't believe that he's going to get past Cleveland because I think teams see this and they're just gonna want to take him.”
- 5Trey Amos to be picked “earlier than his 40th consensus ranking”“this is a guy who fortieth on the consensus board... I would probably take that he's going to get drafted before most people think.”
- 6Shedeur Sanders to move to New Orleans Saints“I always thought that was their most likely outcome of shad Or Sanders was him joining the Saints... partly just because I think he will fall to them, and that's a logical landing spot... I kind of think this is going to happen unless someone trades up.”

How each call scored
a naive guessbetter than naive6 checkable claims — 5 mock draft picks and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 7 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
3 of 6 have settled so far, averaging 66.2 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.
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.
