# Ryan Wilson — prediction record

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.

## Is Ryan Wilson accurate?

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.

## Record

- **Accuracy:** 38.35%
- **MissedTakes Score:** 37.18
- **Graded articles:** 7
- **Graded individual calls:** 8
- **Clarity:** 100%
- **Hedged:** 26.73% 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.

A CBS Sports piece states Deshaun Watson has won Cleveland's starting quarterback job for Week 1 with Shedeur Sanders next in line, while arguing Watson will not play like even an average NFL quarterback and that none of the Browns' current young passers should stop them from drafting a first-round quarterback next April.
