Pac-12→ CHI's 2022 class
Limited public-board coverage (0 boards) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Zachary Thomas at pick #70; he was actually picked #186 by CHI. 3 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 4.9 of 20 per season), and the market has paid him — a second deal at $0.2M a year. The 4-tier model has him as a likely role.

Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Zachary Thomas at #70 on draft night — a Day 2 grade — and CHI took him at No. 186. Bust risk projects at 4%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade.
