Takes in each band
Everyone writing under this banner, pooled into the numbers above. Counted by article, with a paginated series counting once — the same rule used for an individual, from the published methodology.
Teams and players where CBS Sports’s writers keep landing outside the room: at least twice, a call published under this banner sat beyond every other pundit who made a comparable one — higher or lower than all of them, in a room of at least five voices. The bar is the banner’s standing lean (+100 would be the most bullish voice in every room), and the accuracy covers just those out-on-a-limb calls, once they settle. Computed, never chosen.

each of these five teams climbed by exactly six spots from their preseason positions: 4. 49ers 7. Eagles 9. Bears 16. Giants 24. Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals to beat Seahawks
We placed the Seahawks on the injury panic meter with Sam Darnold at risk of missing Sunday's game against the Cardinals, and that factors into why Breech foresees Arizona pulling off a second stunning upset in as many weeks to begin the season.
Matthew Hibner to be 2nd on the depth chart
Hibner looked like a very capable TE2
These are the top-five draft classes after the first week of the season. 1. Kansas City Chiefs ... 2. Cleveland Browns ... 3. Baltimore Ravens ... 4. Miami Dolphins ... 5. New York Giants

Barber looked like he'll be a long-term starter at the position for Cleveland.

Drew Mestemaker to be 9th quarterback off the board
I had him as my QB9 back in August
Drew Mestemaker to be picked “top 50 overall prospect” (picks 1–50)
Speaking to my personal summer process, Mestemaker was a top 50 overall prospect, but clustered in Tier 2 behind Arch Manning, Moore and South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers.

CBS Sports' Mike Renner has him as the No. 9 overall prospect.
P.J. Locke to be 1st on the depth chart
Schottenheimer said P.J. Locke will take the bulk of the work filling in for Hooker, but Dallas's defense appears to need all the help they can get.
Drew Lock to be 1st on the depth chart
a medium panic level makes sense here because of the uncertainty for when Darnold returns, but Drew Lock has shown he is capable of holding the fort. Lock should be able to do just that over the next two weeks at the Arizona Cardinals and the Washington Commanders.
