Did this pick move Terry Bradway's grade?

The first chart removes the time axis: every Terry Bradway pick is sorted by retained contribution across opportunity, quality, and recognition. Chris Baker totals +0.41. The second chart breaks that same contribution into the seasons when the evidence arrived. Opportunity and quality can move separately, which keeps high-snap, low-AV profiles from looking cleaner than they are.

How much retained production did Chris Baker return vs. his slot?

Each mark below is one player's model value above slot. Light gray marks are slot-similar peers: TEs drafted within ±5 picks of Chris Baker since 2010 (9 players).The score is the retained production/value bucket from the pick-residual model: on-team AV plus AV-rate quality, adjusted for draft slot, position, and era. Opportunity snaps and league honors are excluded.
