## Who this take is about

- Omarion Hampton — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/omarion-hampton

## What others said about the same people

- Colin Cowherd on Omarion Hampton: Cowherd delivered his own top-15 draft board — what he would do as GM of each team — pairing prospects with picks 1 through 15, and separately argued Shedeur Sanders is a far better prospect than Daniel Jones and that Aaron Rodgers should retire. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/1d3f1be7-f506-422a-af38-e6e32088f3e5 (scored 64.84)
- Andrew Erickson on Omarion Hampton: Erickson's must-have targets round by round: Nico Collins in round one (1,500 receiving yards if healthy), Drake London as a top-five WR in round two, Omarion Hampton as the Chargers' bell cow in round three, Kenneth Walker as a top-five fantasy back in round four, plus Tetairoa McMillan, Jaylen Waddle, Ricky Pearsall, Jordan Mason, Tucker Kraft, Drake Maye and a set of late-round fliers. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/58b6b85b-eacc-4bf3-a205-bcc403d81bc2 (scored 0)
- Daniel Jeremiah on Omarion Hampton: Jeremiah walks through his new NFL.com mock draft, naming a player for nearly every first-round pick from the Titans at No. 1 through the Eagles at No. 32, and also forecasts Omarion Hampton's combine weight and 40 time. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/5e126e09-4836-4e26-be42-748910a8df18 (scored 93.26)
- Rich Eisen on Omarion Hampton: Rich Eisen delivered his Week 1 NFL power rankings, a top 10 running from the Broncos at No. 10 up to the Eagles at No. 1. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/cf7173f6-a38f-4383-92b8-a83510c43970 (scored 91.67)
- Nick Baumgardner on Omarion Hampton: The Athletic's draft analyst laid out a full slate of expectations for the upcoming NFL Draft: Abdul Carter to Tennessee at No. 1, Shedeur Sanders falling to the back half of the first or top of the second, Ashton Jeanty as a top-10 pick, Travis Hunter as the class's best player going in the top five, and only two quarterbacks plus fewer than three running backs but more than three receivers taken in Round 1. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/e514a61d-cfb8-432c-8393-35237a2314d4 (scored 100)
- Gregg Rosenthal on Omarion Hampton: In a five-man mock draft Rosenthal took Jahmyr Gibbs first among his picks, then Saquon, Nico Collins, Chase Brown, Ladd McConkey and Omarion Hampton. He also called Nico Collins a top-five receiver, floated Ladd McConkey finishing as WR3, expected Travis Hunter to become Jacksonville's best receiver, predicted Hampton to become the Chargers' workhorse, thought Rhamondre Stevenson stays on the Patriots, and predicted Kendrick Bourne gets traded to the 49ers. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/0c878f7b-88cf-400b-b07f-3b0aa2c1dfda (scored 91.67)

## More mock draft picks

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

- Lance Zierlein on Jeremiyah Love: Zierlein laid out his final mock draft: Jeremiah Love at No. 3 to Arizona, Sonny Styles at No. 4 to Robert Saleh's team, and Caleb Downs to the Giants at No. 5. He also called Styles the only first-round linebacker in the class and said Ty Simpson is a lock to be a first-round pick, most likely to Arizona. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/cf600df8-87eb-492b-9d91-f7a2b39104ac (scored 100)
- Nick Shook on Max Iheanachor: Shook walks through his full first-round mock draft, assigning a prospect to every pick from No. 1 to No. 32, headlined by Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders, David Bailey to the Jets and Jeremiah Love to the Cardinals in the top three. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/7d4209aa-2e2d-47a2-b6e5-791d16d209cb (scored 87.81)
- Gregg Rosenthal on K.C. Concepcion: Rosenthal disagrees most with Casey Concepcion being left out of the first round, arguing he could go as high as the top 15 and certainly won't last past receiver-needy teams in the late twenties. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/8fae9a3a-7fd8-454c-99cc-0a8400c35d7d (scored 67.71)
- Daniel Jeremiah on Keyron Crawford: In discussing teams without first-round picks, Jeremiah projected specific Day 2 picks: Clemson WR Antonio Williams to the Falcons at 48, Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodriguez to the Colts in the second round, Oklahoma edge R Mason Thomas to the Packers at 52, and Auburn edge Keiroon Crawford to the Broncos at 62. He also expects Riley Leonard to open as the Colts' starting QB and Travis Hunter to play cornerback full time in Jacksonville. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/f60c916c-1b5f-4252-8733-1770c7809577 (scored 80.52)
- Daniel Jeremiah on Carnell Tate: Jeremiah says Denver, not Kansas City, will be the clear favorite in the AFC West this season; he also puts Carnell Tate sixth and Monroe Freeling twentieth on his prospect board, mocks Tate to Cleveland at No. 6, and expects Georgia receiver Branch to be a Day 2 pick after a strong pro day. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/48a1d189-dc0f-4250-aa3b-0e27119c733a (scored 91.7)
- Bucky Brooks on Carnell Tate: In a mock draft covering the first 14 picks, Brooks made the odd-numbered selections: Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders at No. 1, a Miami offensive lineman to Arizona at No. 3, Caleb Downs to the Giants at No. 5, Ohio State's Arvell Reese to Washington at No. 7, Carnell Tate to Kansas City at No. 9, tight end Kenyon Sadiq to Miami at No. 11, and Spencer Fano to the Rams at No. 13. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/677f566f-9e38-4dd7-b312-0baad54b440e (scored 80.52)

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.
