Patriots, 2000. Sixth round. The most famous draft slot in football history. Every year's #199 gets the 'next Brady?' headline; every year's answer is no.
Trained on every pick through 1993, the model gave a quarterback at #199 a 4.1% chance in 1994.
Each year's estimate uses only that year's draft and the years before it , no peeking ahead. The line smooths across neighboring picks and seasons so a single oddball draft doesn't dominate. The shaded band is the model's 90% uncertainty range.
