How each call scored
a naive guessbetter than naiveworse than naive6 checkable claims — 4 mock draft picks and 2 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 11 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
4 of 6 have settled so far, averaging 69.2 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.
Of the 2 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.
