# Pat Fitzmaurice: Fitzmaurice argues Jonah Coleman has taken over as Denver's lead running back and will keep the largest role, and that rookie Omar Cooper Jr. has passed Adonai Mitchell as the Jets' second receiver behind Garrett Wilson, who remains New York's top target.

3 checkable claims — 3 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

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

Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.

> But it's reasonable to think that Cooper, the 30th overall pick in this year's draft, can overtake Adonai Mitchell as the Jets' No. 2 receiver.

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.
