The model's plain-English read.
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.
Draftanomics projects Sean Mannion (age 23.0 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #103 (range #101-#105, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 19% — manageable. Age 23.0 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #103 stands alone — and with bust risk at 19%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects Trevor Siemian (age 23.3 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #222 (range #220-#224, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 45% — real but not disqualifying. Career trajectory in passing yards: 256 → 1312 → 2149 → 2214. Production rose every season — the kind of upward arc that often continues into the league. Age 23.3 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #222 stands alone — and with bust risk at 45%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
