On the live board, bust risk sits at 45% and the realistic range is No. 72 to No. 256.
The model graded Brendan Langley at pick #213; he was actually picked #101 by DEN. 1 NFL season in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading 2.3 of 20 per season). Model expects a second-deal AAV around $5M/yr.
Headline grade, verdict, and the one-line scout take

Too early to project a career arc.
No public board has ranked this prospect and the model has no production, athletic, or NFL data to anchor on — any percentages here would be noise dressed up as precision. The outlook fills in once boards rank him or real numbers land.

The grade is held down by how many boards rank him top-100, production trajectory, and hS recruit rating.
The grade is the 0-to-1 score the board sorts by — it only means something next to the rest of this class, which is why the rank above it is the number to quote.
Not enough to go on yet — no public board ranks him and there's no production or testing data to anchor a career projection.
Solid points = actual NFL snap share per season. Dashed extension = forecast for upcoming years.
