Big Ten→ TEN's 2022 class
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Nicholas Petit-Frere at pick #98; he was actually picked #69 by TEN. 3 NFL seasons in, he's carved out a genuine role (grading 9.6 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $1.1M a year. The 4-tier model has him as a likely role. NFL grades have been modest so far (2% recent-3, 5% peak across 3 seasons). Model predicted $8M/yr; actual $1M (over by $7M).

Draftanomics Rank
High conviction#98OT·Ohio St.
The league moved faster than our board — TEN took him at No. 69, 29 picks ahead of our No. 98 grade. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Nicholas Petit-Frere at #98 on draft night — a Day 2 grade — and TEN took him at No. 69, 29 picks earlier than our grade. The model's case leans on broad top-100 board coverage and his recruiting pedigree. Bust risk projects at 10%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade. The room had him #78 pre-draft; our board sat 20 spots lower.
