age 22.3
On the live board, bust risk sits at 43% and the realistic range is No. 42 to No. 239.
rank#155$1.1M
Sun Belt→ TEN's 2016 class
Limited public-board coverage (2 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Kalan Reed at pick #155; he was actually picked #253 by TEN. 2 NFL seasons in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading 1.7 of 20 per season). So far, the league's caution is winning the argument. Model expects a second-deal AAV around $6M/yr.

Draftanomics Rank
Medium conviction#155CB·Southern Miss
We had him No. 155 on draft night; TEN didn't call his name until No. 253 — a 98-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Kalan Reed at #155 on draft night — a Day 3 grade — and TEN took him at No. 253, 98 picks later than our grade. Bust risk projects at 43%, elevated against the position baseline. The room had him #57 pre-draft; our board sat 98 spots lower.
