It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 1 of 2 have settled so far, averaging 95.8 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > I'm sure that they're expecting he can be a a high quality starter form week one. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Rueben Bain to be picked at number 14** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Rueben Bain, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: scored 95.76 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Mansoor Delane to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Mansoor Delane, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Rueben Bain — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/rueben-bain - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Mansoor Delane — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/mansoor-delane - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/chiefs ## What others said about the same people - Tracy Sandler on Baltimore Ravens: Sandler predicted Caleb Williams would miss two to three weeks with his hamstring injury, and in the picks segment took the Broncos, Ravens, Vikings, Bills and Bears (switching off an earlier Tampa pick). — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/74f12600-9587-488a-af00-2e8c11643531 (scored 100) - Carmen Vitali on Baltimore Ravens: In the show's weekly picks segment Vitali took the Broncos over the Rams, the Ravens over the Cowboys in Rio, Tampa at home over Minnesota, the Bills over the Chargers and the Eagles on the road in Chicago.
