The take

written by hand

8.0 targets a game across 15.0 of them at 23, with draft capital behind him. Nothing clever here: it's volume and a clean bill of health.

Why this ranking

hand-set 2026-09-03

REASON REWRITTEN 17 Aug; the number is unchanged and still wanted. The old text said 'a modest step up', which was true on 11 Aug and is not now: the model has since climbed to WR9 (185.3) on its own, so this 168.5 is a CUT of 3 ranks, not a raise. Keeping it as a cut is right on the year-2 evidence -- second-year receivers miss ADP by a mean +15.9 with 53% missing by 10+ -- and 168.5 still leaves him above ADP WR16 and ECR WR15. Recorded because an override whose stated direction no longer matches its effect is how the Bo Nix one went stale for ten days. Re-read 3 Sep: no sign of falsification. Board WR17 against ADP WR17 and ECR WR16. The row's own point was that it had become a CUT rather than a raise, and it still is.

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