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.
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.
Michael Pittman to outplay his draft cost (after round eight)
VerdictWaitingNot settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
Who this take is about
Others on the same people
Matt Harmon · Depth Chart Calls · Michael Pittman · Hit 92
In a snake-draft of the best NFL wide receivers for the 2025 season, Harmon's ten selections (at overall picks 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25 and 28) headlined by Ja'Marr Chase at No. 1 and Nico Collins at No. 4. They also made several depth-chart calls, including Travis Hunter as Jacksonville's No. 2 receiver behind Brian Thomas Jr., and predicted Riley Leonard will make starts for the Colts.Andrew Erickson · Positional Finishes · Michael Pittman · Miss 0
Erickson gave their Week 9 wide receiver rankings, going aggressively high on Rashee Rice, ranking both Jaguars receivers below consensus, and saying Travis Hunter will be Jacksonville's No. 1 receiver the rest of the season. They also floated Darius Slayton as a sneaky play against the 49ers.Jack Markowski · Availability Calls · Michael Pittman · Waiting
Markowski writes that with no practice window opened, Pittman Jr. is unlikely to play against Cincinnati, while Ben Skowronek appears ready to return for that same game.Walt · Depth Chart Calls · Michael Pittman · Waiting
Grading a batch of NFL trades, Walt makes a handful of forward-looking roster calls: A.J. Brown becomes Drake Maye's No. 1 target in New England, Michael Pittman Jr. slots in as the Steelers' No. 2 receiver behind DK Metcalf, Jaylen Waddle is only a glorified No. 2 in Denver, Kyle McCord starts games for Miami, Tytus Howard upgrades Cleveland's right tackle spot, and Tanner McKee is now more likely to be traded by Philadelphia.Bryan DeArdo · Availability Calls · Michael Pittman · Waiting
DeArdo picks the Steelers to beat the Colts 24-20 at home, expecting a big rushing game from Jaylen Warren against a weak Indianapolis run defense, and notes Michael Pittman will miss several weeks with Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard taking on bigger roles.
