# David Droegemeier — prediction record David Droegemeier covers the Los Angeles Chargers for Locked On Chargers and Locked On Rams, offering predictions on draft picks, roster decisions, player stat projections and game outcomes. Droegemeier has made calls on Joe Alt, Omarion Hampton, Tre Harris and depth chart positioning heading into the 2026 season. ## Is David Droegemeier accurate? Across 8 graded calls in 6 articles, David Droegemeier scores 69.15% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 2.08, which means their calls were better than a naive guess on the same claims. That is a provisional record, fewer than ten graded articles, so the numbers are not yet meaningful and they are not ranked on the leaderboard. ## Record - **Accuracy:** 69.15% - **MissedTakes Score:** 2.08 - **Graded articles:** 6 - **Graded individual calls:** 8 - **Clarity:** 95.83% - **Hedged:** 28.13% of claims - **Right when hedging:** not enough data - **Right when committing:** not enough data PROVISIONAL: fewer than 10 graded articles. This number is not yet meaningful, and they are excluded from leaderboards. The MissedTakes Score is how much better than a naive baseline they did, not how often they were right. Zero means no better than a strategy requiring no knowledge. A record is counted in ARTICLES rather than individual calls, because thirty picks in one mock draft is one act of judgment rather than thirty.
