Long-career hit

Gilbert Brown became a 11-season, 125-game NFL player after going #79. The retained-value model still ranks him 12th of 12 for Roger Headrick because MIN only got 0 of those games.

His retained-value contribution score (opportunity plus quality plus recognition, with related outcomes collapsed inside each bucket) is -3.17. This is a per-pick accountability metric, separate from Roger Headrick's leaderboard composite θ.

Full-career context prevents this from being labeled as a bad talent pick: the negative model score is about retained team value, not whether the draft identified an NFL-caliber player.

The walkthrough below shows which bucket carried the pick: playing time, value quality, or league honors.

Did this pick move Roger Headrick's grade?

The first chart removes the time axis: every Roger Headrick pick is sorted by retained contribution across opportunity, quality, and recognition. Gilbert Brown totals -3.17. 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.

Light gray marks are slot-similar peers: DTs drafted within ±5 picks of Gilbert Brown since 2010 (17 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.

Cumulative value over time

Year-by-year running totals since draft. Left axis = games started. Right axis = honors (Pro Bowl / AP1 / AP2). Pre-2013 picks have no games-started line because that comes from per-game snap counts (not available for older players). Honors extend back to 1980.
