Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Cade Stover at pick #205; he was actually picked #123 by HOU. 2 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 4.0 of 20 per season). The 4-tier model has him as a likely starter. NFL grades have been modest so far (0% recent-3, 0% peak across 1 seasons).
