Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Isaiah Oliver at pick #72; he was actually picked #58 by ATL. 8 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 6.2 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $2.4M a year. The 4-tier model has him as a likely starter. NFL grades have been modest so far (0% recent-3, 4% peak across 7 seasons). Model predicted $6M/yr; actual $2M (over by $4M).

Draftanomics Rank
High conviction#72CB·Colorado
We had him No. 72 on draft night, and the league mostly agreed — ATL took him at No. 58. The seasons since are the scoreboard.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Isaiah Oliver at #72 on draft night — a Day 2 grade — and ATL took him at No. 58. The model's case leans on broad top-100 board coverage and top-50 board coverage. Bust risk projects at 18%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade. The room had him #39 pre-draft; our board sat 33 spots lower.
