Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Preston Smith

Draftanomics projects Preston Smith (age 22.4 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #164 (range #147-#181, wide band). Bust probability sits at 10% — 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 #164 stands alone — and with bust risk at 10%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Benardrick McKinney

Draftanomics projects Benardrick McKinney (age 22.4 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #134 (range #117-#151, wide band). Bust probability sits at 13% — 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 #134 stands alone — and with bust risk at 13%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Kristjan Sokoli

Draftanomics projects Kristjan Sokoli as a Day 3 dart throw at #180 (range #163-#197, wide band). Bust probability sits at 20% — manageable. 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 #180 stands alone — and with bust risk at 20%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
