Big Ten→ DET's 2016 class
Limited public-board coverage (1 board) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Anthony Zettel at pick #239; he was actually picked #202 by DET. 2 NFL seasons in, he's carved out a genuine role (grading 7.1 of 20 per season). Model expects a second-deal AAV around $5M/yr.

Low conviction#239DT·Penn St.
The league moved faster than our board — DET took him at No. 202, 37 picks ahead of our No. 239 grade. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Anthony Zettel at #239 on draft night — a Day 3 grade — and DET took him at No. 202, 37 picks earlier than our grade. The model's case leans on his age curve. Bust risk projects at 40%, near the position baseline. The room had him #161 pre-draft; our board sat 78 spots lower.
