Common — not rare enough to clear the top 12.5% cutoff (no badge).

Trained on every defensive end pick before 1971, the model gave a 16.2% chance of a defensive end going at #79 that year.

Tiers are hard percentile cutoffs over every draftigami in our window: top 12.5% rarest = RARE, 5% = SUPER RARE, 1% = MEGA RARE, 0.25% = LEGENDARY.
