Backtest: model vs. reality

The model graded Dede Westbrook at pick #205; he was actually picked #110 by JAX. 1 NFL season in, he's producing like a real starter (grading 12.4 of 20 per season). So far, the league's aggression looks right.

Overview

Headline grade, verdict, and the one-line scout take

Draftanomics Rank
Speculative
#205WR·Oklahoma

The league moved faster than our board — JAX took him at No. 110, 95 picks ahead of our No. 205 grade. His career is settling that argument now.

Draftanomics's take

Draftanomics had Dede Westbrook at #205 on draft night — a Day 3 grade — and JAX took him at No. 110, 95 picks earlier than our grade. The model's case leans on his age curve. Bust risk projects at 4%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade. The room had him #156 pre-draft; our board sat 49 spots lower.

Written from the live model's numbers — projected to round 6, and it updates whenever the model does. See methodology for what drives the take.

Too early to project a career arc.

No public board has ranked this prospect and the model has no production, athletic, or NFL data to anchor on — any percentages here would be noise dressed up as precision. The outlook fills in once boards rank him or real numbers land.

The grade is the 0-to-1 score the board sorts by — it only means something next to the rest of this class, which is why the rank above it is the number to quote.

    Who picks where he’s projected

    Roster-based need returns once the 2016 season is played — grading this year’s teams on last year’s depth chart would be guessing. What’s knowable now: the teams holding picks around No. 205, and which of them already spent premium capital at RB / WR / TE in the 2016 draft.

    WAS · No. 199just drafted oneNYG · No. 200just drafted oneMIN · No. 201just drafted oneSF · No. 202DEN · No. 203NYJ · No. 204DET · No. 205LA · No. 206

    Gold means no recent premium investment at RB / WR / TE — the cleaner fit on paper. Grey means they already spent one.
