Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Josh Paschal at pick #87; he was actually picked #46 by DET. 3 NFL seasons in, he's carved out a genuine role (grading 7.5 of 20 per season), and the second-contract question is still open — no new deal yet. The 4-tier model has him as a likely role. NFL grades have been modest so far (3% recent-3, 9% peak across 3 seasons). Model expects a second-deal AAV around $8M/yr.
