Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Seth Williams at pick #87; he was actually picked #219 by DEN. 1 NFL season in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading 1.6 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $0.2M a year. So far, the league's caution is winning the argument. The 4-tier model leans toward the bust tier as the most likely outcome; elite upside is only 4%. NFL grades have been modest so far (0% recent-3, 0% peak across 1 seasons).

Medium conviction#87WR·Auburn
We had him No. 87 on draft night; DEN didn't call his name until No. 219 — a 132-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
