rank#70$1.6M
Limited public-board coverage (2 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded B.J. Goodson at pick #70; he was actually picked #109 by NYG. 2 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 5.0 of 20 per season).

Draftanomics Rank
Medium conviction#70OLB·Clemson
We had him No. 70 on draft night; NYG didn't call his name until No. 109 — a 39-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had B.J. Goodson at #70 on draft night — a Day 2 grade — and NYG took him at No. 109, 39 picks later than our grade. The model's case leans on his age curve. Bust risk projects at 43%, elevated against the position baseline. The room had him #86 pre-draft; our board was 16 spots higher.
