Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded O'Cyrus Torrence at pick #16; he was actually picked #59 by BUF. 3 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 6.2 of 20 per season), and the second-contract question is still open — no new deal yet. The 4-tier model gives him a 38% chance at an elite career. NFL grades have been modest so far (9% recent-3, 23% peak across 2 seasons). Model expects a second-deal AAV around $17M/yr.

Draftanomics Rank
Low conviction#16OL·Florida
We had him No. 16 on draft night; BUF didn't call his name until No. 59 — a 43-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had O'Cyrus Torrence at #16 on draft night — a 1st round grade — and BUF took him at No. 59, 43 picks later than our grade. The model's case leans on broad top-100 board coverage and top-50 board coverage. Bust risk projects at 8%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade. The room had him #30 pre-draft; our board was 14 spots higher.
