How each call scored
2 checkable claims — 1 mock draft pick and 1 top player list — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
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.

Kyle Crabbs · Mock Draft Picks · LaNorris Sellers · Miss 0
In a way-too-early 2026 NFL mock draft, Crabbs projects all 32 first-round picks, starting with LaNorris Sellers to the Browns at No. 1 and Drew Allar to the Saints at No. 2.Connor Rogers · Mock Draft Picks · LaNorris Sellers · Waiting
Picked winners across the Week 10 slate, taking the Lions over the Patriots, the Packers in a close one, the Bills, Jaguars, Texans, Panthers, Colts, Niners, Seahawks and Ravens, plus a 21-10 Rams win in Arizona. Also called the Giants to win the NFC East and Jackson Dart to be the Giants' quarterback, and in a post-deadline mock draft placed Sellers with the Browns at 16 and Austin Simmons with Atlanta.Gilberto Manzano · Mock Draft Picks · LaNorris Sellers · Waiting
Manzano laid out a mini mock of the first round for clubs holding multiple picks, projecting Jeremiah Smith first overall and placing quarterbacks, edge rushers and corners with the Titans, Dolphins, Jets, Eagles and Browns. Manzano also pegged CJ Carr to go no later than No. 9 and tabbed two Kentucky linemen as top-60 prospects.Todd McShay · Mock Draft Picks · LaNorris Sellers · Waiting
McShay argued that the much-criticized college quarterback class will produce NFL talent, saying Arch Manning, Sam Leavitt and LaNorris Sellers would all be first-round picks if they declared, and that Nico Iamaleava would likely go late in the first round.Rob Rang · Mock Draft Picks · LaNorris Sellers · Waiting
Rang updated their quarterback board for the 2027 NFL Draft, moving Ole Miss's Trinidad Chambliss to No. 1 ahead of Dante Moore and Arch Manning, and sorting the 14 QBs into first-round, Day 2 and Day 3 tiers. They also project Jeremiah Smith as the No. 1 overall pick and says Manning would be a first-round pick if eligible.

Evaluating edge rusher Kyle Kennard ahead of the draft, the account projected them as a Day 2 selection.Blaine Grisak · Mock Draft Picks · Brian Thomas Jr. · Hit 84
Grisak argues the Rams should not trade a second-round pick for Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr., calling it too great a risk and too high a cost. In an embedded tweet of their own from the 2024 pre-draft period, they suggested the Rams could select Thomas at pick No. 19.Charlie Campbell · Mock Draft Picks · Xavier Williams · Miss 0
Campbell's draft stock report projects Indiana WR Charlie Becker as a top-10 pick in 2027, Mississippi State CB Kelley Jones as a first-rounder, Tennessee DT Xavier Gilliam as a top-15 pick, and Texas OT Trevor Goosby as a top-10 pick, while suggesting Arch Manning could still be a first-rounder if they declare.
