# John Shipley — prediction record

John Shipley covers the Jacksonville Jaguars for Sports Illustrated, tracking training camp battles, roster decisions, and the week-to-week shaping of the depth chart. His work digs into the specifics — offensive line configurations, preseason standouts, players on the roster bubble.

## Record

- **Accuracy:** 50%
- **MissedTakes Score:** -100
- **Graded articles:** 4
- **Graded individual calls:** 5
- **Clarity:** 100%

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.

Shipley's training camp winners and losers: he picks Parker Washington to lead the Jaguars in receiving yards, sees B.J. Green winning the DE3 job, Jarrian Jones earning a Week 1 starting job, and Matt Dickerson, Branson Combs and Chuma Edoga making the roster, while Quintin Morris is a bubble player behind two rookie tight ends.

### Aug 11, 2026 — scored 100 across 1 call

Shipley says Ventrell Miller has gained a slight edge over Branson Combs in the linebacker competition, and that the two are clearly the second and third linebackers behind Foyesade Oluokun. He also expects veteran defensive tackle Matt Dickerson to make the 53-man roster.

### Aug 11, 2026 — scored 0 across 1 call

Shipley projects second-year cornerback Jabbar Muhammad to make the Jaguars' 53-man roster and describes him as the team's clear No. 5 cornerback, a role that would earn him a game-day jersey. He also identifies Patrick Mekari, Walker Little and Ezra Cleveland as projected Week 1 offensive line starters.
