Headline grade, verdict, and the one-line scout take
Draftanomics Rank
Low conviction#54C·Georgia Tech
We had him No. 54 on draft night; NWE didn't call his name until No. 131 — a 77-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Shaq Mason at #54 on draft night — a Day 2 grade — and NWE took him at No. 131, 77 picks later than our grade. Bust risk projects at 6%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade.
