How the call scored
One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.
Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in.
Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room.
The 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 call; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
Carson Beck to be 1st on the depth chart
VerdictWaitingNot settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.

Matt Miller · Mock Draft Picks · Carson Beck · Hit 100
In their 2026 seven-round mock draft, Miller has Fernando Mendoza going No. 1 overall, Arvell Reese to the Jets at No. 2, Francis Mauigoa to Arizona at No. 3, Jeremiah Love to Tennessee at No. 4, Caleb Downs to the Giants at No. 5, Carnell Tate to the Browns at No. 6, and a series of other first- and second-round picks including Ty Simpson to the Jets at the top of round two.Henry McKenna · Depth Chart Calls · Carson Beck · Miss 0
McKenna predicts Kyler Murray will win the Vikings' starting QB job over J.J. McCarthy, that Minnesota will make the playoffs if Murray cuts out the hero ball, that both QBs will play in 2026, and wonders whether rookie Carson Beck could unseat Jacoby Brissett as Arizona's Week 1 starter.Alex Clancy · Mock Draft Picks · Carson Beck · Hit 100
Known on the show as "Clancy," they expect the Cardinals to win more games than last season while still landing a high pick, believes Ty Simpson goes in the first round and Carson Beck no later than the third, and lays out an Arizona backfield in which Tyler Algeier supplants James Conner while Trey Benson survives camp. They also side with Michael Wilson in the receiver battle.Chris Brockman · Mock Draft Picks · Carson Beck · Miss 24
Brockman's overreaction slate: Breece Hall leaves the Jets and plays in the playoffs next season, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the best receiver in the league, three quarterbacks (Mendoza first overall, plus Ty Simpson and Carson Beck) go in the first round, and the Patriots crater to a 7-10 season.Chris Brockman · Mock Draft Picks · Carson Beck · Miss 24
Brockman argued Jaxon Smith-Njigba is already the best receiver in the NFL and deserves to be the highest paid, called their shot that three quarterbacks (Mendoza, Ty Simpson, Carson Beck) go in the first round with Mendoza first overall, and suggested New England is headed for a 7-10 season.
