American Athletic→ LAR's 2017 class
Limited public-board coverage (1 board) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Tanzel Smart at pick #114; he was actually picked #189 by LAR. 1 NFL season in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 5.5 of 20 per season).

Draftanomics Rank
Medium conviction#114DT·Tulane
We had him No. 114 on draft night; LAR didn't call his name until No. 189 — a 75-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Tanzel Smart at #114 on draft night — a Day 3 grade — and LAR took him at No. 189, 75 picks later than our grade. Bust risk projects at 32%, near the position baseline. The room had him #108 pre-draft; our board sat 6 spots lower.
