Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Abdul Carter at pick #9; he was actually picked #3 by NYG. 1 NFL season in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading -2.5 of 20 per season). The 4-tier model sees a strong shot at elite: 51% probability of Pro-Bowl-level career.

Headline grade, verdict, and the one-line scout take
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Abdul Carter at #9 on draft night — a 1st round grade — and NYG took him at No. 3. The model's case leans on scout consensus and broad top-100 board coverage. Bust risk projects at 10%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade. The room had him #2 pre-draft; our board sat 7 spots lower.
