Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Jarran Reed at pick #17; he was actually picked #49 by SEA. 2 NFL seasons in, he's carved out a genuine role (grading 7.3 of 20 per season). So far, that's a point for our board. The 4-tier model has him as a likely role. Model expects a second-deal AAV around $24M/yr.

Draftanomics Rank
High conviction#17DT·Alabama
We had him No. 17 on draft night; SEA didn't call his name until No. 49 — a 32-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Jarran Reed at #17 on draft night — a 1st round grade — and SEA took him at No. 49, 32 picks later than our grade. The model's case leans on broad top-100 board coverage and scout consensus. Bust risk projects at 33%, near the position baseline.
