Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Bradyn Swinson at pick #106; he was actually picked #146 by NWE. 1 NFL season in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading -3.3 of 20 per season). So far, the league's caution is winning the argument. The 4-tier model has him as a likely starter.
Overview
Headline grade, verdict, and the one-line scout take
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Bradyn Swinson at #106 on draft night — a Day 3 grade — and NWE took him at No. 146. The model's case leans on broad top-100 board coverage and scout consensus. Bust risk projects at 16%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade. The room had him #80 pre-draft; our board sat 26 spots lower.
