David Harrison· Apr 28, 2026
Harrison projects the Washington Commanders' initial 53-man roster if it had to be set today, naming 26 offensive players, three specialists and 24 defenders, and also assigns depth-chart slots at quarterback, running back, the offensive line, the interior defensive line, and the return/specialist jobs.
“We've got 26 players that I believe will make the initial 53 if the initial 53 had to be set today.”

72 checkable claims — 54 roster spot calls and 18 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
It names 56 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
43 of 72 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 88.4 for a naive guess at the same calls.
Of the 5 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 4 and below it on 1.
