LaNorris Sellers wins with a howitzer right arm and an ability to shed sacks that should already be over, the total package that makes evaluators dream on ceiling. The model has him 29th overall, four spots ahead of a consensus sitting at 33 across 11 boards — a rare stretch of agreement on a passer whose file otherwise reads like a full-blown argument.

Read the two ends and skim the middle: the model has a real track record telling stars and bustsapart, but “solid starter vs. rotation guy” is close to a coin flip from public data — that's why those two bars are grayed. For his odds of outright busting, the Bust-risk panel next door is the number to trust.
The bracketed ranges show how far each number could reasonably move — they come from how 23–57 similar players in past drafts actually turned out.

Working in his favor: his charted pass grade max and how many boards rank him top-100. Working against him: power-5 production share.
The grade is the 0-to-1 score the board sorts by — it only means something next to the rest of this class, which is why the rank above it is the number to quote.
Outcome shares from the 4-tier model. The Bust share here is a different model than the headline bust probability — for bust risk, use that number.

Roster-based need returns once the 2026season is played — grading this year’s teams on last year’s depth chart would be guessing. What’s knowable now: the teams holding picks around No. 29, and which of them already spent premium capital at QB in the 2026 draft.
Gold means no recent premium investment at QB — the cleaner fit on paper. Grey means they already spent one.
