Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Ja'Lynn Polk at pick #55; he was actually picked #37 by NWE. 1 NFL season in, he's carved out a genuine role (grading 7.3 of 20 per season). The 4-tier model has him as a likely role. NFL grades have been modest so far (1% recent-3, 4% peak across 1 seasons). Model expects a second-deal AAV around $6M/yr.
