Did this pick move Nick Caserio's grade?

The first chart removes the time axis: every Nick Caserio pick is sorted by retained contribution across opportunity, quality, and recognition. Aireontae Ersery totals -0.64. 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.
