One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.

The call scored 56.9 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.

> So that's why Mahomes was number one to me on my outside looking in Stafford eleven, two, twelve, c. J. Stroud thirteen.

## More top player lists

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

- Jason Cabinda: Cabinda named the Ravens as the AFC team that has closed the gap on the Chiefs, gave a top-five list of players who play with a fullback mentality, predicted Penei Sewell will be a perennial Pro Bowler, and picked Michael Penix Jr. to break out in Atlanta. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/9861ca95-f0a3-4678-8382-6a0548b07c3b (scored 100)
- Nick Wright: Nick trusts Josh Allen over the Broncos defense, picks the Bills to win outright in Denver (Bills +1.5 as his lock), picks the Patriots to beat the Texans by more than three, likes the 49ers to keep it close but not win, and predicts the Rams blow out the Bears roughly 42-28 with Stafford throwing about five TDs. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/86bcecae-59c2-4e55-9b5f-8d47778f1f67 (scored 0)
- Mike Mayock: Mayock says Philadelphia and Baltimore are the two most talented teams in the league, predicts Ravens DT Travis Jones has a breakout year and that Baltimore scores 30-plus points a game, believes Washington is not a one-year aberration with Jayden Daniels becoming a franchise quarterback, and ranks quarterbacks into tiers. He also thinks Aaron Rodgers will land in his 'solid' third tier and help Pittsburgh have a solid year. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/6e92c8cc-6496-49e7-a19e-33fde6d8694d (scored 95)
- Jeremy Fowler: Fowler's polls of anonymous NFL executives, coaches and scouts produced a top 10 wide receiver list led by Ja'Marr Chase and a top 10 quarterback list led by Patrick Mahomes. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/1ab32b8b-07f2-4ce5-b6df-ba1b716f2f4f (scored 60)
- Rich Eisen: Rich Eisen counted down his top five quarterbacks in a better situation now than last year: Caleb Williams first, followed by Jayden Daniels, Justin Fields, Drake Maye and Dak Prescott, with Justin Herbert added as a bonus. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/912346bd-a4f5-42bc-948c-72e404bdd781 (scored 40)
- Daniel Jeremiah: Jeremiah's top-150 draft board, as read out on the show, ranks Travis Hunter first, Abdul Carter second and Ashton Jeanty third, with Cam Ward eighth and Shedeur Sanders 20th. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/16e2b56a-9f57-427f-a849-29dbffd1e924 (scored 68.75)

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.
