The model's plain-English read.
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.
Draftanomics projects Christian Ringo (age 23.1 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #238 (range #224-#252, wide band). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. Drafted #210 by GNB 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 #238 stands alone — and with bust risk at 65%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects Trey Flowers (age 21.7 at draft) as a first-round pick at #11 (range #4-#18, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #11 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
