How rare was this draftigami?

Trained on every pick through 1971, the model gave a cornerback at #7 a 3.7% chance in 1972.

Cornerback at #7, year by year

Each year's estimate uses only that year's draft and the years before it — no peeking ahead. The line smooths across neighboring picks and seasons so a single oddball draft doesn't dominate. The shaded band is the model's 90% uncertainty range.
