The story
A cornerback whose box score broke out fast: pass breakups jumped from one to five and tackles more than doubled, from 13 to 28, between his 2024 and 2025 seasons. That's Vicari Swain, the South Carolina CB, and the model has him at No. 169 overall — for once that's not a fight, with the room's consensus sitting at No. 168, about as tight an agreement as you'll find this deep in a class. Underneath that shared read, the model's tier call still leans toward elite upside, a bet built on a thin file.

Both of the model's reads put him in Day-3 / priority-free-agent range. If the public boards are higher, the model is the one doing the fading — check the dossier for what it isn't seeing.
