2019 NFL Draft prospect
Andrew Van Ginkel
age 23.8 · 6'3" · 241 lb
On the live board, bust risk sits at 17% and the realistic range is No. 104 to No. 238.
Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Andrew Van Ginkel at pick #187; he was actually picked #151 by MIA. 7 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 5.1 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $2.6M a year. The 4-tier model gives him a 44% chance at an elite career. His NFL play has graded as a solid starter (11% recent-3, 33% peak across 6 seasons). Model predicted $18M/yr; actual $3M (over by $16M).

The league moved faster than our board — MIA took him at No. 151, 36 picks ahead of our No. 187 grade. His career is settling that argument now.
