## What others said about the same people

- David Harrison on Stefon Diggs: Harrison gives his initial 53-man roster projection for the Washington Commanders: three quarterbacks including Ethan Kalyak Manus, three running backs, four tight ends, six receivers (leaving off De'Ami Brown and Jaden Bradley), nine offensive linemen with Matt Goldman at center, and a defense of six linebackers but only four cornerbacks. He also projects Tunstall and Newton going to IR on Monday with De'Ami Brown and Dietrich Wise re-signed, plus a corner-heavy practice squad. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/1d5b2565-5531-47ac-bff8-ccb9b23a980a (scored 100)
- Philip Hughes on Stefon Diggs: Hughes surveys Washington's remaining roster questions, asserting that Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs are locks for the 53-man roster and that Antonio Williams has essentially secured a spot as the third receiver, while Percy Butler's standing improved after safety cuts. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/2708f043-e677-4a6f-b7ac-a2d1114be6ea (scored 100)

- Gregg Rosenthal on Jawaan Taylor: Rosenthal expects Russell Wilson to end up as the Giants' starter, views Stefon Diggs as no better than a No. 2/No. 3 receiver in New England, thinks rookie Tyler Loop wins the Ravens' kicking job, pegs Marquise Valdes-Scantling as only the fourth or fifth Seahawks receiver, likes RJ Harvey as a value relative to his fantasy draft slot, and expects Jawaan Taylor and Cedric Tillman to make their teams. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/106f05bc-3dd4-4553-9f98-5c8f1a1e2b31 (scored 100)

## More trade and signing calls

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.
