Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Amon-Ra St. Brown at pick #39; he was actually picked #112 by DET. 5 NFL seasons in, he's carved out a genuine role (grading 9.7 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $30.0M a year. So far, that's a point for our board. The 4-tier model sees a strong shot at elite: 70% probability of Pro-Bowl-level career. In the NFL he's playing at a Pro-Bowl level — 38% NFL grade across his last 3 seasons, peaking at 77%. Model predicted $33M/yr; actual $30M (over by $3M).
