2016 NFL Draft prospect

On the live board, bust risk sits at 60% and the realistic range is No. 34 to No. 206.
rank#108$1.2M
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Cyrus Jones at pick #108; he was actually picked #60 by NWE. 1 NFL season in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 4.6 of 20 per season), and the second-contract question is still open — no new deal yet. Model expects a second-deal AAV around $5M/yr.

Draftanomics Rank
High conviction#108CB·Alabama
The league moved faster than our board — NWE took him at No. 60, 48 picks ahead of our No. 108 grade. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Cyrus Jones at #108 on draft night — a Day 3 grade — and NWE took him at No. 60, 48 picks earlier than our grade. The model's case leans on his recruiting pedigree. Bust risk projects at 60% — well above the position median; the model is flagging this as a high-variance pick. The room had him #92 pre-draft; our board sat 16 spots lower.
