Long-career hit

Bobby McCain became a 10-season, 134-game NFL player after going #145. The retained-value model still ranks him 6th of 15 for Dennis Hickey because MIA only got 87 of those games.

His retained-value contribution score (opportunity plus quality plus recognition, with related outcomes collapsed inside each bucket) is -0.14. This is a per-pick accountability metric, separate from Dennis Hickey'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 Dennis Hickey's grade?

The first chart removes the time axis: every Dennis Hickey pick is sorted by retained contribution across opportunity, quality, and recognition. Bobby McCain totals -0.14. 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 Bobby McCain return vs. his slot?

Each mark below is one player's model value above slot. Light gray marks are slot-similar peers: CBs drafted within ±5 picks of Bobby McCain since 2010 (10 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.
