4 checkable claims — 3 mock draft picks and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

1 of 4 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room.

> I think somewhere in those top fifty picks that's where he goes.

## What others said about the same people

They also doubted Chris Johnson would still be available at 52. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/f589ab37-36ef-4d13-90e3-d14d1bbe5c25 (scored 91.7)

## More mock draft picks

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

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.
