2015 NFL Draft prospect
Mario Alford
age 23.2 · 5'8" · 180 lb
On the live board, bust risk sits at 47% and the realistic range is No. 97 to No. 249.
Big 12→ CIN's 2015 class
Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Mario Alford at pick #234; he was actually picked #238 by CIN. 2 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 3.1 of 20 per season).
