Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone

Headline grade, verdict, and the one-line scout take
Draftanomics Rank
High conviction#65OT·Iowa
The league moved faster than our board — WAS took him at No. 5, 60 picks ahead of our No. 65 grade. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Brandon Scherff at #65 on draft night — a Day 2 grade — and WAS took him at No. 5, 60 picks earlier than our grade. Bust risk projects at 4%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade.
