# LaQuan Jones — prediction record ## Is LaQuan Jones accurate? Across 8 graded calls in 3 articles, LaQuan Jones scores 81.25% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 54.76, 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:** 81.25% - **MissedTakes Score:** 54.76 - **Graded articles:** 3 - **Graded individual calls:** 8 - **Clarity:** 100% - **Hedged:** 20% 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.

They are also out on Patrick Mahomes and thinks Najee Harris would be fantasy-irrelevant in Seattle. On the draft they expect Carnell Tate to be the first receiver taken and Sadiq to slide toward pick 30. https://missedtakes.co/opinions/8cbddee4-f52d-4fc5-ae8d-ddc7d30e5c8a ### Mar 17, 2026 — scored 100 across 1 call Lakwan Jones made 12 picks in the mock draft, led by Jahmyr Gibbs at 1.01, plus they predicted a big second-year fantasy leap for RJ Harvey, that Jeremiah Love lands with the Giants inside the top five of the NFL draft, and that Matthew Stafford repeats as MVP. https://missedtakes.co/opinions/6ddcef9e-93c8-4948-881a-07b1269e8692 ### Aug 21, 2025 — scored 21.88 across 4 calls Jones opened the mock draft with Bijan Robinson at 1.01 and followed with Puka Nacua, Brian Thomas Jr., Drake London, Josh Jacobs and Kenneth Walker.
