# Brendon Nelson: After a poor Seahawks preseason opener, Nelson argues several of the players who struggled — offensive linemen Bobby Hart and Logan Brown, and cornerback Shemar Jean-Charles — are unlikely to be on the final roster, and says the team currently lacks a viable fifth edge rusher and may need to look outside the roster.

3 checkable claims — 3 roster spot calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

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

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

> The problem spots were mostly players that won’t make the team, like Bobby Hart and Logan Brown.

He also said Ty Simpson will be the biggest first-round bust and predicted the Cowboys will trade up into the top five. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/30d59654-62db-490c-8786-44b8d55e5746 (scored 0)

He also predicted he'd hit more than 4.5 picks correctly, and suggested George Pickens could be traded by Dallas next year. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/e0b75c16-85ff-4257-8b56-d51a668d725c (scored 80.52)

## More roster spot calls

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

- Jordan Foote on Cole Christiansen: Foote writes that after the Week 4 game in Las Vegas, Cole Christiansen will revert to the Chiefs' practice squad, having exhausted his three standard elevations, and considers it unlikely Kansas City signs him to the 53-man roster given Cam Jones' remaining activations and a possible Cooper McDonald return. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/0f95f5c2-204e-4a55-9fef-acf1f0883817 (scored 0)
- Ralph Ventre on Kani Walker: Ventre expects Christian Benford's toe injury to sideline him for at least the Week 4 game against New England, and believes the Bills will have to add a cornerback to the 53-man roster this week — likely by moving Benford to injured reserve — with practice squad rookie Kani Walker the most likely player elevated. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/94b844fe-bb22-4517-81f5-6263eb0213f1 (scored 0)
- Gene Chamberlain on Marcus Davenport: Chamberlain argues the Bears' cap restructuring won't lead to a splashy edge-rusher trade for Maxx Crosby or Josh Sweat, and that Marcus Davenport will be promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster as their veteran edge help. He also describes the Bears opening the season with rookie Dillon Thieneman starting at safety and Cam Lewis at the deep safety spot. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/17023c90-bef4-4a59-823f-90408ebbf8d9 (scored 100)
- John Shipley on Jabbar Muhammad: Shipley projects a full 16-player (plus one international/exemption spot) Jaguars practice squad for 2026, naming specific players at each position he expects to land there. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c0a52b7c-63b2-4e18-b7da-9342dbbc111f (scored 100)
- Patricia Traina on Trace Ford: Traina projects the Giants' initial 53-man roster position by position, naming who makes the team and who lands on the practice squad, including keeping Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Evan Neal (with a possible trade), Dalen Cambre over Braxton Berrios, Lucas Patrick as backup center, and Dominic Zvada as the kicker. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/8bb1a183-b45b-44db-8a61-23bdd2238a6b (scored 100)
- Ralph Ventre on Kani Walker: Ventre reads the Bills' preseason finale as revealing the Week 1 roster: Alec Anderson wins the starting left guard job, Dorian Williams starts at inside linebacker next to Terrel Bernard, Maxwell Hairston starts at cornerback opposite Christian Benford, and Joe Andreessen, Sam Franklin, Trent Sherfield and undrafted Kani Walker make the 53. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/70079e7f-89bd-46fe-a55a-665416f339fc (scored 100)

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.
