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.

Jordan Seaton to be drafted ahead of Olu Fashanu
With a good season, he'll likely be drafted higher than Fashanu's 11th-overall selection.
Marcus Davenport to move to Chicago Bears
CBS Sports senior reporter Matt Zenitz reported that the Bears are expected to sign Marcus Davenport, who actually visited with the team on Sunday.
Tua Tagovailoa to be 1st on the depth chart
The Falcons are still without Michael Penix Jr. in game settings as his knee rehab continues, meaning Tagovailoa is the de-facto QB1 in a pretty dismal quarterback competition.
Malik Willis to be 1st on the depth chart
He'll still be Willis' backup, only playing if Willis gets hurt.
Quinn Ewers to be 2nd on the depth chart
Chances of bouncing back: Medium. He'll still be Willis' backup, only playing if Willis gets hurt.
Riley Leonard to be 3rd on the depth chart
if Thursday night was any indication, Leonard might have just fallen behind Anthony Richardson
Anthony Richardson to be 2nd on the depth chart
With Daniel Jones coming off a torn Achilles, the backup QB job is an important one in Indianapolis this year, and if Thursday night was any indication, Leonard might have just fallen behind Anthony Richardson.
Von Miller to be 2nd on the depth chart
Miller can be deployed off the bench or make the occasional spot start and play somewhere in the realm of 40% to 50% of the Cowboys' defensive snaps.
Rashan Gary to be 1st on the depth chart
Rashan Gary is an every-week starter
Donovan Ezeiruaku to be 1st on the depth chart
second-year player Donovan Ezeiruaku could settle in as a full-time starter, too
Von Miller to record 8.5 sacks
take Jadeveon Clowney, who played the 2025 season on a similar one-year deal and started six of his 13 total games. He turned in one of his better years in some time with 8.5 sacks and 12 tackles for loss. Something akin to that is a reasonable expectation for Miller.
5. Leonard Moore , CB, Notre Dame 6. Colin Simmons , DE, Texas 7. Jordan Seaton , OT, LSU 8. Kewan Lacy , RB, Ole Miss ... Eight of the 10 sources our reporters polled said he is too high at No. 9.
Fernando Mendoza to be 2nd on the depth chart
thrusting him up to QB1 after that performance would be premature ... the best way to usher a young quarterback into the NFL is to have him begin the season behind an established veteran
De'Zhaun Stribling to finish top 1 at his position, by receiving yards
De'Zhaun Stribling may have the most productive season among all rookie WRs — Overreaction or reality: Reality
De'Zhaun Stribling to be 1st on the depth chart
it's not out of the realm of possibility that Stribling emerges as the top target for Brock Purdy in the receiver room
Drew Allar to be 2nd on the depth chart
Drew Allar is the future QB1 in Pittsburgh — Overreaction ... it's far too early to pencil him in as QB1 in 2027
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
Raiders will start Fernando Mendoza in Week 1 — Overreaction ... head coach Klint Kubiak even acknowledged recently that the QB1 job for Week 1 is Cousins' to lose.
Rashan Gary to be 1st on the depth chart
With Rashan Gary locked into one of the starting outside linebacker jobs and Donovan Ezeiruaku emerging in his second year as a situational starter, there is no obvious full-time spot for Miller atop the depth chart.
