Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Riley Ridley at pick #137; he was actually picked #126 by CHI. 2 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 5.4 of 20 per season), and the second-contract question is still open — no new deal yet. The 4-tier model leans toward the bust tier as the most likely outcome; elite upside is only 4%. NFL grades have been modest so far (0% recent-3, 0% peak across 2 seasons).
