# Pat Fitzmaurice: Fitzmorris agrees Judkins will be a bell cow but thinks his yardage/TD projections are too aggressive, is excited about Colson Loveland as his TE3 with room to exceed his projection, ranks Jackson Dart QB13 and Jared Goff QB19, sides with the bullish Jameson Williams projection, and calls the Rashee Rice projection too rosy given injury and off-field risk.

8 checkable claims — 4 positional finishes, 2 fantasy bust calls, 1 depth chart call and 1 sleeper call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 11 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 5 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 3 and below it on 2.

> I just don't feel the projections are baking in the injury risk and the poor judgment risk here, simple as that.

## More positional finishes

The same kind of call, about other players and teams.

- Chris Brockman on Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Brockman argued Jaxon Smith-Njigba is already the best receiver in the NFL and deserves to be the highest paid, called his shot that three quarterbacks (Mendoza, Ty Simpson, Carson Beck) go in the first round with Mendoza first overall, and suggested New England is headed for a 7-10 season. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c47d130c-5598-4cd0-b546-1121046b9166 (scored 100)

He also reminds listeners he called the Bears and Panthers as teams to watch before the season. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c6469c58-b508-48d9-b72f-fe6e0d7d4da5 (scored 0)

Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
