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 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.

Will Echoles to be picked “first round” (picks 1–32)
the Bears select Ole Miss defensive tackle Will Echoles in the first round of the 2027 NFL mock draft of USA TODAY's Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz
Will Echoles to be picked “Round 1”
it won't be a matter of if Echoles goes in Round 1, but rather how high he's drafted
Montorie Foster Jr to be 4th on the depth chart
If Horton isn't ready to go for the season opener or first few games, that makes Foster the Seahawks' presumed WR4.

Rome Odunze to be 1st on the depth chart
Odunze is slated to be Chicago's No. 1 wide receiver
D'Andre Swift to be 1st on the depth chart
Despite Monangai's ascension last season, Swift is going to be the team's No. 1 running back once again this season
Nick Bosa to be 1st on the depth chart
Assuming his patellar knee tendinitis doesn't flare up again, he will start and play lots of snaps against the Rams even if he's not quite ready, because the 49ers are desperate.
Keion White to be 1st on the depth chart
He most likely will start at defensive end and then move to defensive tackle on third down.
Ogbo Okoronkwo to make the roster
Expect the 49ers to call up veteran defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo from the practice squad for this game.
Yhonzae Pierre to be picked at number 29
Michael Schwartz of USA Today assigned the Seahawks pick 29 ... The pick was spent on Yhonzae Pierre, an Alabama Crimson Tide edge rusher

Seattle Seahawks to pick at number 29

Yhonzae Pierre to be picked “first round caliber player” (picks 1–32)
If Pierre isn’t looked at as a first round caliber player right now, there’s a very good chance he will be after a double-digit sack season for the Crimson Tide.
Uchenna Nwosu to move to Seattle Seahawks
Uchenna Nwosu and Dante Fowler Jr are both free agents in March, so there’s a decent chance both are gone for 2027 as well.

Antonio Johnson to be 1st on the depth chart
it is clear he has leaped to the No. 1 safety role in the defense
BJ Green II to record 6 sacks
My #take: BJ Green finishes the year with six sacks.
Caleb Ransaw to be 3rd on the depth chart
I think Ransaw gets the early nod as the No. 3 safety, but him and Jalen Huskey looked neck-and-neck all summer.
Nick Mullens to be 2nd on the depth chart
my gut guess is that Nick Mullens is the backup quarterback in some fashion when the Cleveland Browns visit on Sept. 13
Parker Washington to be 1st on the depth chart
If I had to predict who I think will lead the Jaguars in most receiving stats, I would say Parker Washington.
DaVon Hamilton to be 1st on the depth chart
Who do I think lines up on the first 1st-and-10 of the game? Probably DaVon Hamilton and Matt Dickerson.
Branson Combs to be 2nd on the depth chart
Ventrell Miller. I think the sheer fact that Miller has started 11 games in his career (and has looked solid in doing so) is a clear reason to give Miller the edge over Branson Combs.
Matt Dickerson to be 1st on the depth chart
Probably DaVon Hamilton and Matt Dickerson. I think that is the duo you will see for a lot of early run downs throughout the season
Ventrell Miller to be 1st on the depth chart
I think we see a very similar strategy this time around, but with Miller starting the game and leading in snaps.
Greg Dortch to make the roster
fans shouldn't be surprised if Dortch eventually makes his way onto the active 53-man roster by the time the end of September comes around
Greg Dortch to be 1st on the depth chart
although he's currently just on the practice squad with only three call-ups to his name, Dortch presumably will dress for games to start the regular season off as Buffalo's main punt returner.
Dallas Turner to be 1st on the depth chart
This season, Turner is expected to go from a backup edge rusher and situational defender to a full-time starter on defense.
