Did this pick move Bum Phillips's grade?

The first chart removes the time axis: every Bum Phillips pick is sorted by retained contribution across opportunity, quality, and recognition. John Corker totals -1.99. 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.

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.
