Limited public-board coverage (2 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Jacob Phillips at pick #120; he was actually picked #97 by CLE. 3 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 $1.1M a year. The 4-tier model has him as a likely role. NFL grades have been modest so far (0% recent-3, 2% peak across 3 seasons).
