Big Ten→ DEN's 2023 class
Limited public-board coverage (1 board) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Alex Forsyth at pick #183; he was actually picked #257 by DEN. 2 NFL seasons in, he's hung on the fringe of the rotation (grading 3.3 of 20 per season), and the second-contract question is still open — no new deal yet. The 4-tier model leans toward the bust tier as the most likely outcome; elite upside is only 4%. NFL grades have been modest so far (1% recent-3, 2% peak across 1 seasons). Model expects a second-deal AAV around $5M/yr.

Draftanomics Rank
Low conviction#183OL·Oregon
We had him No. 183 on draft night; DEN didn't call his name until No. 257 — a 74-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Alex Forsyth at #183 on draft night — a Day 3 grade — and DEN took him at No. 257, 74 picks later than our grade. Bust risk projects at 14%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade. The room had him #220 pre-draft; our board was 37 spots higher.
