Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Max Melton at pick #107; he was actually picked #43 by ARI. 2 NFL seasons in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading 1.6 of 20 per season). The 4-tier model leans toward the bust tier as the most likely outcome; elite upside is only 11%. NFL grades have been modest so far (0% recent-3, 0% peak across 1 seasons).
