Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Jameis Winston

Draftanomics projects Jameis Winston (age 21.3 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #46 (range #44-#48, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 15% — manageable. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #46 stands alone — and with bust risk at 15%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Garrett Grayson

−0.06 boards with him top-100; −0.04 age; +0.03 position role purity

Marcus Mariota

Draftanomics projects Marcus Mariota (age 21.5 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #94 (range #92-#96, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 7% — low. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #94 stands alone — and with bust risk at 7%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
