2021 NFL Draft prospect
Joshuah Bledsoe
age 24.2
On the live board, bust risk sits at 45% and the realistic range is No. 138 to No. 272.
Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Joshuah Bledsoe at pick #221; he was actually picked #188 by NWE. 3 NFL seasons in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading 2.5 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $0.9M a year. The 4-tier model leans toward the bust tier as the most likely outcome; elite upside is only 3%. NFL grades have been modest so far (0% recent-3, 0% peak across 3 seasons).
