On the live board, bust risk sits at 12% and the realistic range is No. 60 to No. 257.
rank#173$1M
Limited public-board coverage (2 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Kenyan Drake at pick #173; he was actually picked #73 by MIA. 2 NFL seasons in, he's carved out a genuine role (grading 7.9 of 20 per season). Model expects a second-deal AAV around $7M/yr.

Draftanomics Rank
Low conviction#173RB·Alabama
The league moved faster than our board — MIA took him at No. 73, 100 picks ahead of our No. 173 grade. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Kenyan Drake at #173 on draft night — a Day 3 grade — and MIA took him at No. 73, 100 picks earlier than our grade. Bust risk projects at 12%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade. The room had him #121 pre-draft; our board sat 52 spots lower.
