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.

Rushawn Baker to be picked “top-100 pick” (picks 1–100)
After barely cracking the 1,000-yard mark last year, he should be a top-100 pick with another big season.

LaMont Jordan to be picked “Early Day 3” (picks 101–179)

Chris Godwin Jr. to move to Tampa Bay Buccaneers
barring a miraculous turnaround in his age-30 season, Godwin won't be playing out the final year of his deal in 2027 when Tampa Bay can save $13.7 million by releasing him.
Blake Miller to be 1st on the depth chart
Miller will slot in at right tackle as Penei Sewell switches to the left side for the Lions.
Tua Tagovailoa to be 1st on the depth chart
he's already in the hot seat as the presumed starter
Jonah Savaiinaea to be 1st on the depth chart
Savaiinaea is the clear starter at right guard, but if he doesn't improve significantly from his rookie season, he might not be there for long.
Penei Sewell to be 1st on the depth chart
Miller will slot in at right tackle as Penei Sewell switches to the left side for the Lions.
Dallas Cowboys to make the playoffs
If Dallas is middle of the pack -- or really just mediocre -- defensively, it will be a playoff team.
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
Kyler Murray winning the Vikings' starting quarterback job wasn't a surprise, but it wasn't the smoothest sailing, either.
Devaughn Vele to be 2nd on the depth chart
In Tyson's absence, No. 2 receiver duties likely fall to DeVaughn Vele, who served in that role after the Saints traded Rashid Shaheed to the eventual-champion Seattle Seahawks at midseason.
Malik Nabers to be 1st on the depth chart
Nabers will likely step in and work as Jaxson Dart's No. 1 target, soaking up volume and opening the field for everyone else.
Trevor Lauck to be picked “Early Day 2” (picks 33–67)
Trevor Lauck ... Early Grade: Early Day 2
Cayden Green to be 1st guard off the board
There's a good chance he's the first guard off the board in April.
Jacarrius Peak to be picked “Day 2” (picks 33–100)
Jacarrius Peak ... Early grade: Day 2
Positional rankings ... OT ... A big reason I'm a fan of this upcoming tackle class is that the 10th-ranked player on the list is still very much a first-round-caliber athlete for the position. Melvin Siani...
Jordan Seaton to be picked “Round 1”
Jordan Seaton ... Early grade: Round 1
