Player quality

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×1.03
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Combine ×1.01
Athletic composite 8.0/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
