We jumped up from 24th to 18th place w/ Jacobson's 7th place points (not super solid, as I "tried" to figure in some teams tied w/one another; there were 2 two-way ties above us.)

Well with Raney, and Jacobson both getting two wins under their belts, it’s something to build on.

My guess is Raney will outgrow the weight and spend the next half decade falling technically behind all the people he would be competing against. 60kg to 67kg will be much deeper. 

87 kg has about 7 wrestlers who are around the same level that can win gold, and Jacobson is a tier or two below them all. I don't think 87 kg is promising for upset potential. 

I think Bey is the only one who is close to medalist level. The rest can't do it or would need a  freak Coon esque draw. 

[GrandOlm]

My thoughts on the Greco premier weights. 

130 kg: This is Mirz's reign. None of these other 130 kgs are good enough to stop him. If chunky Semenov is the best of the rest in the foreseeable future,  then Mirz is the biggest  favorite for gold at all the weight classes and the next olympics. I know that 20 something year old who beat Riza is getting hyped, but my eye test does not see him as the next great wrestler and I think Mirz will keep him off teams. 

97 kg: Saravi backed up his Olympics with a wold title. I don' think he'll sweep the cycle. I think either someone will emerges or he'll take losses to people he's beaten. Russia's Sargsyan is so undersized, I suppose it's just a testament to Russia's weakness that it's the best they have at 97. Artur keeps finding silly ways of losing. I'm not sure if it's age or he's fried mentally. He's one of the worst at taking losses for sure. 

87 kg. Almost 10 wrestlers of roughly the same ability are musical chairsing the titles between themselves. It was Komarov's turn this time. I think Bisultanov is the most talented of the bunch (in that sense he is the spiritual successor of Zhan) but he has a choking gene and I don't see anyone taking over this weight. 

77kg: This weight always has parity and extremely close matches.  Taking your chances is paramount. Nao did. Akzhol did not. It's a shame since lb for lb I think Akzhol might be the best wrestler without an Olympic gold. He may never get one. 

67 kg: This weight has a lot of turnover at the top. Iran has the current champion. Orta is still around but he may be in the Tokyo-Borrero phase of his career.

60 kg: No big names in this weight class. Fumita is not active. Emelin is messing around and losing at 63 kg. No one new has established themselves.
