Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Christian Benford at pick #121; he was actually picked #185 by BUF. 4 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 5.2 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $17.3M a year. The 4-tier model gives him a 30% chance at an elite career. NFL grades have been modest so far (8% recent-3, 20% peak across 3 seasons). The AAV predictor called it: model said $19M/yr, actual was $17M.

Low conviction#121CB·Villanova
We had him No. 121 on draft night; BUF didn't call his name until No. 185 — a 64-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
