Ryan Wilson writes for CBS Sports and Sports Illustrated, covering the NFL draft and regular-season matchups. The work leans heavily on quarterback evaluation, tracking prospects such as Darian Mensah, Jaxson Dart, and C.J. Carr through mock drafts and midseason assessments. Wilson also covers teams including the Browns, Bills, Vikings, and Seahawks.
Across 8 graded calls in 7 articles, Ryan Wilson scores 38.35% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 37.18, 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.

How much better than a naive guess on the same claims. This is the ranking.
Teams and players where Ryan Wilson keeps landing outside the room: at least twice, their call sat beyond every other pundit who made a comparable one — higher or lower than all of them, in a room of at least five voices. The bar is their standing lean (+100 would be the most bullish voice in every room), and the accuracy covers just those out-on-a-limb calls, once they settle.
