Editor's note

Antonio Brown

Steelers, 2010. Pick 199 was Brady, pick 196 was Terrell Davis, pick 86 was a sixth-round Central Michigan receiver who became the best WR of his decade. Then everything else.

How rare was this draftigami?

Trained on every pick through 1984, the model gave a wide receiver at #86 a 9.7% chance in 1985.

Wide receiver at #86, year by year

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.
