Risk and opportunity flags

Top three concerns and top two upside signals from the model.

Bobby McCain
Risks
No major risks flagged.
Opportunities
  • Mid-major standout
    School SP+ 5.6 (AMERICAN ATHLETIC). Strong program among non-Power-5 — the prospect dominated against decent competition.
Eric Rowe
Risks
No major risks flagged.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Tye Smith
Risks
  • CB slow 40 (4.60s)
    40-yard dash of 4.60s — historically corners above 4.55s rarely become NFL starters.
  • Not on any consensus board
    Model has him at pick #61 but ZERO public big boards have him on their list. Either we're seeing something nobody else does, or the model is hallucinating.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Bobby McCain

Draftanomics projects Bobby McCain (age 21.7 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #113 (range #103-#123, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 6% — low. School SP+ 5.6 (AMERICAN ATHLETIC). Strong program among non-Power-5 — the prospect dominated against decent competition. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #113 stands alone — and with bust risk at 6%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Eric Rowe

Draftanomics projects Eric Rowe (age 22.6 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #117 (range #107-#127, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #117 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Tye Smith

Draftanomics projects Tye Smith (age 22.0 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #61 (range #44-#78, wide band). Bust probability sits at 47% — elevated. 40-yard dash of 4.60s — historically corners above 4.55s rarely become NFL starters. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #61 stands alone — and with bust risk at 47%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
