2020 NFL Draft prospect
Braden Mann
age 22.4 · 5'11" · 198 lb
On the live board, bust risk sits at 29% and the realistic range is No. 114 to No. 211.
Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Braden Mann at pick #45; he was actually picked #191 by NYJ. 6 NFL seasons in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading -0.5 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $1.0M a year. So far, the league's caution is winning the argument. The 4-tier model has him as a likely role. NFL grades have been modest so far (3% recent-3, 14% peak across 5 seasons).

Speculative#45P·Texas A&M
We had him No. 45 on draft night; NYJ didn't call his name until No. 191 — a 146-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
