I would tend to disagree based on the concept of "unconditional election" wherein (if I correctly understand it) the divine choice excludes any consideration of the person's state whatsoever, whether they are "totally depraved" or not.

The issue regarding predestination is "Unconditional Election", which is (it seems) the heart and soul of Calvinism.
