Rich Eisen · Apr 28, 2025

Eisen said Russell Wilson should and would start for the Giants with Dart sitting, doubted Shedeur Sanders even makes the Browns roster, called three top-five teams making the playoffs an overreaction while naming Jacksonville as the one he'd pick, and predicted Joe Flacco holds a roster spot in Cleveland while Kirk Cousins only starts if Pittsburgh loses out on Rodgers. He also said Dallas whiffed by not taking Tyler Warren and floated Drew Allar as a possible No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft.

If I had to peg one team from the top five to make it, it would be Jacksonville.

5 checkable claims from this

Each one is scored on its own against the published methodology. A pundit naming several outcomes is graded on each, not on all-or-nothing.

  • Russell Wilson to be 1st on the depth chart

    Certainly, if I'm Daybell and Shane, I'm starting with Russ. I'm letting the kid marinate.

  • Drew Allar to be picked at number 1

    Drew Aller could be the first overall pick in next year's draft. He could.

  • Joe Flacco to make the roster

    I think he's just gonna be like, you got the roster spot, pal.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

  • Travis Hunter to finish top ? at his position, by interceptions

    I think he's gonna be tremendous.

    Too vague to check — we could not tell what would count as right.
