Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Nick Chubb at pick #15; he was actually picked #35 by CLE. 8 NFL seasons in, he's carved out a genuine role (grading 9.5 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $12.2M a year. So far, that's a point for our board. The 4-tier model sees a strong shot at elite: 71% probability of Pro-Bowl-level career. NFL grades have been modest so far (9% recent-3, 60% peak across 7 seasons). Model predicted $18M/yr; actual $12M (over by $6M).

We had him No. 15 on draft night; CLE didn't call his name until No. 35 — a 20-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
