The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Kenny Hilliard (age 23.5 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #243 (range #241-#245, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 77% — scary. Drafted #235 by HOU in 2015 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #243 stands alone — and with bust risk at 77%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects Marcus Murphy (age 23.6 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #208 (range #206-#210, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 6% — low. Career trajectory in rushing yards: 251 → 601 → 924. Production rose every season — the kind of upward arc that often continues into the league. Age 23.6 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 #208 stands alone — and with bust risk at 6%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
