# Gregg Rosenthal: After the first round, Rosenthal said they're going back to being bullish on Tampa Bay, expecting them to exceed whatever win total is set, and made several role/depth-chart calls on newly drafted players — Mendoza starting Week 1 in Las Vegas, Concepcion leading Cleveland in targets, Mauiinoa opening at guard, Rutledge at center, Price as Seattle's RB1 and Wandell Robinson sliding to a No. 3 receiver role. They also called the Jets' David Bailey pick at No. 2 a mistake.

8 checkable claims — 6 depth chart calls, 1 draft bust call and 1 surprise team call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 15 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 6 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 5.

## More depth chart calls

The same kind of call, about other players and teams.

- Nic Bodiford on Joe Fagnano: Previewing Week 9 running game matchups, Bodiford expects Jacksonville to win lopsidedly over a depleted Baltimore team, with Bhayshul Tuten sitting out and Chris Rodriguez taking over as lead back, while Joe Fagnano starts at quarterback for the Ravens.

Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. 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.
