Why this ranking

hand-set 2026-08-26

Raised to ADP at Matt's direction. Native WR265 on 0.91/g. The two markets DISAGREE about him -- drafters WR67 (ADP 174), ECR WR121 -- and this takes the drafters' side deliberately, on the football rather than on the split: he is a rookie in an ambiguous Kansas City room and the case for him is upside beyond the projection, which is what ADP prices and a point estimate structurally cannot. Mechanism, traced: capital 0.212 x immediacy x depth 0.473 = 0.076 -- a pick-176 rookie is priced small by the capital curve and then halved AGAIN for being fifth on the chart, which is what a pick-176 rookie IS. Those two inputs are not independent, and that compounding affects the whole late-rookie group rather than him alone.

This is a view, not a correction — the model said something different and was overruled. See how it works.
