2018 NFL Draft prospect
Troy Apke
age 23.0 · 6'2" · 198 lb
On the live board, bust risk sits at 11% and the realistic range is No. 130 to No. 264.
Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Troy Apke at pick #213; he was actually picked #109 by WAS. 5 NFL seasons in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading 2.2 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $1.2M a year. The 4-tier model has him as a likely role. NFL grades have been modest so far (0% recent-3, 0% peak across 5 seasons).
