Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Gregory Rousseau at pick #36; he was actually picked #30 by BUF. 5 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 5.6 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $20.0M a year. The 4-tier model gives him a 33% chance at an elite career. NFL grades have been modest so far (9% recent-3, 17% peak across 4 seasons). The AAV predictor called it: model said $20M/yr, actual was $20M.
