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.

Chuck Clark to be 1st on the depth chart
They're likely starting Avonte Maddox and Chuck Clark at safety.
Aaron Donald to win Comeback Player of the Year
A defensive player hasn't won since Chiefs safety Eric Berry in 2015, and newly unretired Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald is a +800 fourth-favorite. Considering the future Hall of Famer hasn't played since 2023, he'd be my choice as it would be a story right out of Hollywood.
Jeremiyah Love to win Offensive Rookie of the Year
In a year when the two quarterbacks drafted in the first round may not play the majority of the season and wide receiver production is uncertain without a bona fide No. 1 option, Love should be viewed as the heavy favorite.
Morgan Moses to be 1st on the depth chart
New England is expected to stick with veterans Will Campbell and Morgan Moses as the starters for now
Will Campbell to be 1st on the depth chart
New England is expected to stick with veterans Will Campbell and Morgan Moses as the starters for now
Makai Lemon to be 3rd on the depth chart
Philadelphia will need him this season, but DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks may be the primary outlets early as Lemon develops trust with Jalen Hurts.
Jadarian Price to be 1st on the depth chart
Price is expected to be the feature back, at least in Charbonnet's absence, ahead of George Holani, Emanuel Wilson and others.
Caleb Lomu to be 2nd on the depth chart
Lomu spent time at both left and right tackle in preparation for his role as the swing tackle this season.
J.J. McCarthy to be 3rd on the depth chart
(with Murray at the top followed by Wentz and then McCarthy)
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
This quarterback room as it's currently constructed (with Murray at the top followed by Wentz and then McCarthy) is the optimal approach.
MarShawn Lloyd to be 1st on the depth chart
That leaves MarShawn Lloyd as the top back, along with Chris Brooks and the recently acquired Kaleb Johnson.
Malik Willis to be 1st on the depth chart
a 14-play, 93-yard drive led by incoming starter Malik Willis in Week 1 of the preseason
Jahmyr Gibbs to be 1st on the depth chart
leaving them with Jacob Saylors potentially as the RB2 behind Jahmyr Gibbs
Braxton Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
Braxton Jones appears set to start on the blindside out of the gate
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
Watson "won" the job, but he hardly looked the part of an NFL starter... Despite all that, he'll be the guy in Week 1
Jacob Saylors to be 2nd on the depth chart
leaving them with Jacob Saylors potentially as the RB2 behind Jahmyr Gibbs
Eli Heidenreich to be 3rd on the depth chart
rookie running back Eli Heidenreich impressed enough to earn the RB3 role behind Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle
Jake Slaughter to be 1st on the depth chart
Second-round rookie Jake Slaughter will take over, but there are some questions along the interior of the line.
Fernando Carmona to be 1st on the depth chart
Fernando Carmona Jr., a fifth-round pick out of Arkansas, locked in the starting job at right guard with a strong preseason.
Roschon Johnson to be 3rd on the depth chart
Roschon Johnson is a quality third option behind D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai.
Mansoor Delane to be 1st on the depth chart
Mansoor Delane, the No. 6 overall pick out of LSU, looked primed to slot in as Kansas City's No. 1 corner
Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart
with a little more seasoning, he'll be QB1 by season's end in all likelihood
Carson Wentz to be 2nd on the depth chart
O'Connell was also wise to make Carson Wentz the top backup over J.J. McCarthy
Jordan Faison to be picked “Late Round 1/Early Round 2”
Jordan Faison ... Early grade: Late Round 1/Early Round 2
Mario Craver to be picked “Early Day 2” (picks 33–67)
