Did this pick move Steve Ortmayer's grade?

The first chart removes the time axis: every Steve Ortmayer pick is sorted by retained contribution across opportunity, quality, and recognition. Anthony Miller totals +2.71. 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 Anthony Miller return vs. his slot?

Each mark below is one player's model value above slot. Light gray marks are slot-similar peers: WRs drafted within ±5 picks of Anthony Miller since 2010 (19 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.
