2017 NFL Draft prospect
Rudy Ford
age 22.5
On the live board, bust risk sits at 9% and the realistic range is No. 110 to No. 262.
Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Rudy Ford at pick #247; he was actually picked #208 by ARI. 1 NFL season in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading 0.1 of 20 per season).
Overview
Headline grade, verdict, and the one-line scout take
Draftanomics Rank
Low conviction#247S·Auburn
The league moved faster than our board — ARI took him at No. 208, 39 picks ahead of our No. 247 grade. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Rudy Ford at #247 on draft night — a Day 3 grade — and ARI took him at No. 208, 39 picks earlier than our grade. Bust risk projects at 9%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade.
