- 1Cade McDonald to be picked “round one”“unless that guy is just an absolute m f for like Cade McDonald who it seems like he's gonna go round one as a run defender”
- 2Daylen Everette to be picked “probably not making it to 84 (drafted before pick 84)”“I would much rather have him in the third but he's probably not making it to 84.”
- 3Domonique Orange to be picked “day two”“So he is he is seen squarely as a round two player or or at the very least, not not a round two player, but a day two player. So he's going on day two”

How each call scored
3 checkable claims — 3 mock draft picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
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.
