The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Jeremy Langford (age 23.4 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #187 (range #185-#189, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 6% — low. Career trajectory in rushing yards: 23 → 1422 → 1522. Production rose every season — the kind of upward arc that often continues into the league. Age 23.4 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 #187 stands alone — and with bust risk at 6%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects David Cobb (age 21.9 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #118 (range #116-#120, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 6% — low. Production concentrated in one season: best 1629 rushing yards vs 4-season mean 724. Limited multi-year tape — small sample of true production. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #118 stands alone — and with bust risk at 6%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects David Johnson (age 23.4 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #254 (range #252-#256, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 1% — low. Age 23.4 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 #254 stands alone — and with bust risk at 1%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
