Backtest: model vs. reality

The model graded Chazz Surratt at pick #72; he was actually picked #78 by MIN. 5 NFL seasons in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading 0.1 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $0.2M a year. The 4-tier model has him as a likely role.

Overview

Headline grade, verdict, and the one-line scout take

Draftanomics's take

Draftanomics had Chazz Surratt at #72 on draft night — a Day 2 grade — and MIN took him at No. 78. The model's case leans on broad top-100 board coverage and his age curve. Bust risk projects at 20%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade. The room had him #115 pre-draft; our board was 43 spots higher.

Written from the live model's numbers — projected to round 3, and it updates whenever the model does. See methodology for what drives the take.

Read the two ends and skim the middle: the model has a real track record telling stars and busts apart, but “solid starter vs. rotation guy” is close to a coin flip from public data — that's why those two bars are grayed. For his odds of outright busting, the Bust-risk panel next door is the number to trust.

The grade is the 0-to-1 score the board sorts by — it only means something next to the rest of this class, which is why the rank above it is the number to quote.

    Who picks where he’s projected

    Roster-based need returns once the 2020 season is played — grading this year’s teams on last year’s depth chart would be guessing. What’s knowable now: the teams holding picks around No. 72, and which of them already spent premium capital at EDGE / DL / LB in the 2020 draft.

    MIN · No. 66HOU · No. 67ATL · No. 68CIN · No. 69CAR · No. 70NYG · No. 71DET · No. 72PHI · No. 73

    Gold means no recent premium investment at EDGE / DL / LB — the cleaner fit on paper. Grey means they already spent one.
