Did this pick move Forrest Gregg's grade?

The first chart removes the time axis: every Forrest Gregg pick is sorted by retained contribution across opportunity, quality, and recognition. Eric Wilson totals -0.51. 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.

Each mark below is one player's model value above slot. Light gray marks are slot-similar peers: LBs drafted within ±5 picks of Eric Wilson since 2010 (22 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.
