football · Cleveland Browns · QB · age 24 · about six months
Shedeur Sanders — football, QB, Cleveland Browns, age 24. One of 82 entries, each scored on four separate axes rather than given a single grade.
The useful number is accessibility at 72: you can still get in at a price that leaves room between what you pay and the best case. That gap is the whole return.
Card upside (78) sits above the breakout score (62), which is the rarer shape. It means the cards look primed to react even though the step up in performance is less certain — usually because market size, playing style or an existing collector base is doing work the stat line isn't.
Set against the 14 football breakout picks scored here, its breakout of 62 ranks 10th of 14, card upside 78 ranks 10th, accessibility 72 ranks 3rd, and risk 62 is the 14th-lowest. The closest thing to it on the numbers is Travis Hunter, which scores 60 and 78 on the same two axes — if you're weighing one against the other, the difference is in the reasoning rather than the scores.
The window is about six months. Long enough that one bad month doesn't settle it, short enough that you're betting on a specific stretch rather than a career. Six-month positions are where people most often forget they set a deadline.
Risk at 62 is high and should be read literally. Entries this risky belong in the part of a collection you could write off without it changing anything about your year.
Every entry gets four separate scores instead of one grade, because a single grade hides the thing you needed. Full explanation in the guide: how to spot a breakout before the cards move.
