2015 NFL Draft prospect
Josh Shaw
age 23.1 · 6'0" · 201 lb
On the live board, bust risk sits at 21% and the realistic range is No. 100 to No. 250.
Big Ten→ CIN's 2015 class
Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Josh Shaw at pick #157; he was actually picked #120 by CIN. 3 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 5.5 of 20 per season), and the second-contract question is still open — no new deal yet.

The league moved faster than our board — CIN took him at No. 120, 37 picks ahead of our No. 157 grade. His career is settling that argument now.
