Pac-12→ WAS's 2021 class
Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded John Bates at pick #231; he was actually picked #124 by WAS. 5 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 6.8 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $7.0M a year. The 4-tier model has him as a likely starter. NFL grades have been modest so far (0% recent-3, 1% peak across 4 seasons). The AAV predictor called it: model said $6M/yr, actual was $7M.
