# Kevin Patra: In a league-wide training camp notebook, Patra forecasts a slew of depth-chart outcomes — starters at tackle, center, nickel and quarterback jobs, receiver pecking orders and backfield splits — plus Sonny Styles as a Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate and Aaron Donald returning to the Rams. **Claimed:** Aug 12, 2026 **Pundit:** Kevin Patra — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/kevin-patra **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.nfl.com/news/2026-nfl-training-camp-early-takeaways-for-all-32-teams 23 checkable claims — 21 depth chart calls, 1 award pick and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 40 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 21 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 3 and below it on 18. > At this point, I'll be more surprised if Aaron Donald doesn't return. It feels inevitable. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Stetson Bennett to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Stetson Bennett, Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet -

The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
