The model graded Danny Shelton at pick #133; he was actually picked #12 by CLE. 3 NFL seasons in, he's carved out a genuine role (grading 8.2 of 20 per season). Model expects a second-deal AAV around $10M/yr.

No public board has ranked this prospect and the model has no production, athletic, or NFL data to anchor on — any percentages here would be noise dressed up as precision. The outlook fills in once boards rank him or real numbers land.

Working in his favor: his charted total career snaps. Working against him: how many boards rank him top-100 and hS recruit rating.
The grade is the 0-to-1 score the board sorts by — it only means something next to the rest of this class, which is why the rank above it is the number to quote.
Not enough to go on yet — no public board ranks him and there's no production or testing data to anchor a career projection.
Solid points = actual NFL snap share per season. Dashed extension = forecast for upcoming years.
