On the live board, bust risk sits at 3% and the realistic range is No. 61 to No. 258.
rank#174$1MCompAustin Blythe
Limited public-board coverage (1 board) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Will Clapp at pick #174; he was actually picked #245 by NOR. 7 NFL seasons in, he's carved out a genuine role (grading 7.0 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $0.1M a year. So far, that's a point for our board. The 4-tier model has him as a likely role. NFL grades have been modest so far (0% recent-3, 1% peak across 7 seasons).

Low conviction#174C·LSU
We had him No. 174 on draft night; NOR didn't call his name until No. 245 — a 71-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
