# Chris Rose: Hosting a mock free-agency draft, Rose predicted destinations for Nick Bolton, Carlton Davis, Russell Wilson, Malcolm Koonce, Stefon Diggs, Byron Murphy, Chase Young and Jacoby Brissett, plus Justin Fields returning to Pittsburgh, Ronnie Stanley leaving Baltimore, and the Browns trading up to No. 1 to take Cam Ward. **Claimed:** Mar 6, 2025 **Pundit:** Chris Rose — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/chris-rose **Outlet:** The Dan Patrick Show (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/the-dan-patrick-show-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/football-today-jomboy-media/nfl-free-agency-predictions 14 checkable claims — 12 trade and signing calls, 1 mock draft pick and 1 team draft slot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 22 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 13 of 14 have settled so far, averaging 14.2 out of 100, against 50.9 for a naive guess at the same calls. > I do believe that the Browns are going to trade up to one and take cam Ward. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Russell Wilson to move to Las Vegas Raiders** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Russell Wilson, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Byron Murphy to move to New England Patriots** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Byron Murphy, New England Patriots - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Darius Slayton to move to New England Patriots** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Darius Slayton, New England Patriots - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Carlton Davis III to move to New York Jets** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Carlton Davis III, New York Jets - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **D.J.
