Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Brian Thomas at pick #18; he was actually picked #23 by JAX. 2 NFL seasons in, he's carved out a genuine role (grading 9.3 of 20 per season). The 4-tier model has him as a likely starter. NFL grades have been modest so far (3% recent-3, 8% peak across 1 seasons). Model expects a second-deal AAV around $17M/yr.
