How each call scored
18 checkable claims — 15 mock draft picks and 3 team draft slot calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 24 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
15 of 18 have settled so far, averaging 67.6 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.
Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.
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.
