On the live board, bust risk sits at 17% and the realistic range is No. 110 to No. 260.
The model graded John Franklin-Myers at pick #167; he was actually picked #135 by LAR. 8 NFL seasons in, he's carved out a genuine role (grading 7.1 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $13.8M a year. The 4-tier model gives him a 31% chance at an elite career. NFL grades have been modest so far (7% recent-3, 17% peak across 7 seasons). The AAV predictor called it: model said $15M/yr, actual was $14M.
Headline grade, verdict, and the one-line scout take
The league moved faster than our board — LAR took him at No. 135, 32 picks ahead of our No. 167 grade. His career is settling that argument now.

Draftanomics had John Franklin-Myers at #167 on draft night — a Day 3 grade — and LAR took him at No. 135, 32 picks earlier than our grade. Bust risk projects at 17%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade.
Written from the live model's numbers — projected to round 5, and it updates whenever the model does. See methodology for what drives the take.
Read the two ends and skim the middle: the model has a real track record telling stars and busts apart, but “solid starter vs. rotation guy” is close to a coin flip from public data — that's why those two bars are grayed. For his odds of outright busting, the Bust-risk panel next door is the number to trust.

Working in his favor: age. Working against him: workload share and how many boards rank him top-100.
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.
Outcome shares from the 4-tier model. The Bust share here is a different model than the headline bust probability — for bust risk, use that number.
