Did this pick move Bobby Grier's grade?

The first chart removes the time axis: every Bobby Grier pick is sorted by retained contribution across opportunity, quality, and recognition. Leonta Rheams totals -0.28. 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.
