Against the grain

Teams and players where Sports Illustrated’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.

Caleb Rogers to be 1st on the depth chart
With uncertainty at the guard spots, Rogers could play well enough to become a starter. If not, he should still be heavily involved in the rotation for an offensive line that needs a youthful injection.
