2015 NFL Draft prospect
Amari Cooper
age 20.9 · 6'1" · 211 lb
On the live board, bust risk sits at 18% and the realistic range is No. 27 to No. 153.
Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Amari Cooper at pick #18; he was actually picked #4 by OAK. 3 NFL seasons in, he's producing like a real starter (grading 12.5 of 20 per season). Model expects a second-deal AAV around $25M/yr.
