Across 40 graded calls in 12 articles, Gilberto Manzano scores 43.45% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 12.26, which means their calls were better than a naive guess on the same claims. That is a limited sample, under thirty graded articles, so treat it with caution. That ranks #55 of 87 ranked NFL pundits on the MissedTakes leaderboard. ## Record - **Accuracy:** 43.45% - **MissedTakes Score:** 12.26 - **Graded articles:** 12 - **Graded individual calls:** 40 - **Clarity:** 97.62% - **Hedged:** 31.26% of claims - **Right when hedging:** not enough data - **Right when committing:** not enough data LIMITED SAMPLE: between 10 and 29 graded articles. Treat with caution. 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.
