Limited public-board coverage (1 board) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Greg Gaines at pick #69; he was actually picked #134 by LAR. 7 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 6.5 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $3.5M a year. The 4-tier model has him as a likely starter. NFL grades have been modest so far (1% recent-3, 9% peak across 6 seasons). Model predicted $7M/yr; actual $4M (over by $3M).

Draftanomics Rank
Speculative#69DT·Washington
We had him No. 69 on draft night; LAR didn't call his name until No. 134 — a 65-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Greg Gaines at #69 on draft night — a Day 2 grade — and LAR took him at No. 134, 65 picks later than our grade. The model's case leans on his age curve. Bust risk projects at 20%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade. The room had him #145 pre-draft; our board was 76 spots higher.
