2015 NFL Draft prospect
Craig Mager
age 22.9
On the live board, bust risk sits at 30% and the realistic range is No. 121 to No. 271.
Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Craig Mager at pick #178; he was actually picked #83 by SDG. 3 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 4.1 of 20 per season), and the second-contract question is still open — no new deal yet.

High conviction#178CB·Texas St.
The league moved faster than our board — SDG took him at No. 83, 95 picks ahead of our No. 178 grade. His career is settling that argument now.
