# Daniel Wade — prediction record

Daniel Wade hosts the Locked On Chargers podcast, covering Los Angeles with the kind of episodic commitment the format demands. His predictions range from draft positioning to fantasy sleepers, with a particular focus on Chargers roster battles and breakout candidates like Jamaree Caldwell and Omarion Hampton.

## Record

- **Accuracy:** 51.08%
- **MissedTakes Score:** 32.86
- **Graded articles:** 4
- **Graded individual calls:** 13
- **Clarity:** 84%

PROVISIONAL: fewer than 10 graded articles. This number is not yet meaningful, and they are excluded from leaderboards.

The MissedTakes Score is how much better than a naive baseline they did, not how often they were right. Zero means no better than a strategy requiring no knowledge. A record is counted in ARTICLES rather than individual calls, because thirty picks in one mock draft is one act of judgment rather than thirty.
