Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Jaylon Ferguson at pick #183; he was actually picked #85 by BAL. 3 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 5.8 of 20 per season), and the second-contract question is still open — no new deal yet. The 4-tier model has him as a likely role. NFL grades have been modest so far (0% recent-3, 2% peak across 3 seasons).
