2018 NFL Draft prospect
Jordan Akins
age 26.0 · 6'3" · 249 lb
On the live board, bust risk sits at 24% and the realistic range is No. 116 to No. 268.
Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Jordan Akins at pick #253; he was actually picked #98 by HOU. 7 NFL seasons in, he's carved out a genuine role (grading 8.0 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $1.1M a year. The 4-tier model has him as a likely starter. NFL grades have been modest so far (0% recent-3, 3% peak across 7 seasons).
