Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded James Houston at pick #182; he was actually picked #217 by DET. 4 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 3.0 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $0.9M a year. The 4-tier model has him as a likely role. NFL grades have been modest so far (0% recent-3, 0% peak across 3 seasons).

Low conviction#182LB·Jackson St.
We had him No. 182 on draft night; DET didn't call his name until No. 217 — a 35-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
