Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Laquon Treadwell at pick #29; he was actually picked #23 by MIN. 2 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 6.9 of 20 per season). The 4-tier model has him as a likely role. Model expects a second-deal AAV around $7M/yr.

We had him No. 29 on draft night, and the league mostly agreed — MIN took him at No. 23. The seasons since are the scoreboard.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Laquon Treadwell at #29 on draft night — a 1st round grade — and MIN took him at No. 23. The model's case leans on broad top-100 board coverage and scout consensus. Bust risk projects at 3%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade. The room had him #13 pre-draft; our board sat 16 spots lower.
