Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Micah McFadden at pick #105; he was actually picked #146 by NYG. 4 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 4.5 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $3.8M a year. The 4-tier model has him as a likely starter. NFL grades have been modest so far (5% recent-3, 11% peak across 3 seasons). Model predicted $7M/yr; actual $4M (over by $3M).

Draftanomics Rank
Medium conviction#105LB·Indiana
We had him No. 105 on draft night; NYG didn't call his name until No. 146 — a 41-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
