Did this pick move Forrest Gregg's grade?

The first chart removes the time axis: every Forrest Gregg pick is sorted by retained contribution across opportunity, quality, and recognition. John Dorsey totals +0.77. 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.
