2022 NFL Draft prospect
Deane Leonard
age 22.4
On the live board, bust risk sits at 45% and the realistic range is No. 109 to No. 259.
Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Deane Leonard at pick #166; he was actually picked #236 by LAC. 4 NFL seasons in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading 1.4 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $2.0M a year. So far, the league's caution is winning the argument. 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).

Medium conviction#166CB·Mississippi
We had him No. 166 on draft night; LAC didn't call his name until No. 236 — a 70-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
