Limited public-board coverage (2 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Jaydon Blue at pick #118; he was actually picked #149 by DAL. 1 NFL season in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading -1.5 of 20 per season). So far, the league's caution is winning the argument. The 4-tier model has him as a likely starter.

Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Jaydon Blue at #118 on draft night — a Day 3 grade — and DAL took him at No. 149. Bust risk projects at 59%, elevated against the position baseline. The room had him #153 pre-draft; our board was 35 spots higher.
