The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Justin Hardy (age 23.4 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #211 (range #209-#213, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 6% — low. Career trajectory in receiving yards: 658 → 1105 → 1284 → 1494. 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 #211 stands alone — and with bust risk at 6%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects Jaelen Strong (age 21.2 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #141 (range #139-#143, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #141 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects Nelson Agholor (age 21.9 at draft) as a first-round pick at #27 (range #25-#29, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 6% — low. Career trajectory in receiving yards: 340 → 918 → 1313. Production rose every season — the kind of upward arc that often continues into the league. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #27 stands alone — and with bust risk at 6%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
