The same 87, by how often their calls landed, with no credit for difficulty.
Pete Martuneac isn’t ranked yet: a record is ranked from 10 graded articles, so a lucky first handful can’t top the table.

Skyler Thomas to be cut
“That said, and even though he made the Bears' initial 53-man roster, Thomas may yet be released ahead of the Bears' Week 1 season opener against the Carolina Panthers, and not for no reason.”
Ozzy Trapilo to be 1st on the depth chart
“He may not be ready to go for Week 1, but there's no doubt now that he will be able to start for the Bears early in the 2026 season. ... But with Trapilo's return now imminent, the Bears' left tackle competition is at an end”
Theo Benedet to be cut
