Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Junior Colson at pick #57; he was actually picked #69 by LAC. 1 NFL season in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading 2.1 of 20 per season). The 4-tier model has him as a likely role. NFL grades have been modest so far (0% recent-3, 0% peak across 1 seasons).
