Long-career hit

Emmanuel Ogbah became a 10-season, 136-game NFL player after going #32. The retained-value model still ranks him 24th of 24 for Sashi Brown because CLE only got 40 of those games.

His retained-value contribution score (opportunity plus quality plus recognition, with related outcomes collapsed inside each bucket) is -2.22. This is a per-pick accountability metric, separate from Sashi Brown'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 Sashi Brown's grade?

The first chart removes the time axis: every Sashi Brown pick is sorted by retained contribution across opportunity, quality, and recognition. Emmanuel Ogbah totals -2.22. 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.
