In Episode 17, Ahmed and David are joined by @thebigwafe for the inaugural episode of our new series, Model Wars! This series will juxtapose The 5th Factor's models against some of the leading public draft modelers, as we talk through the 2026 class, projected returners, potential pitfalls and plans for improvement with the next cycle looming. In this episode, we discuss the commonalities of Graves, Caleb, Flemings & Wagler performing well in our models, some contradicting rankings of Steinbach, Quadir & more, plus dive into the '27 returners and our biggest lessons for our future ventures in modeling. Wafe also drops an insanely deep cut for the 2027 class!
