The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects James Sample (age 22.8 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #233 (range #223-#243, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 20% — manageable. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #233 stands alone — and with bust risk at 20%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects Gerod Holliman (age 21.0 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #174 (range #164-#184, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. Drafted #239 by PIT 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 #174 stands alone — and with bust risk at 65%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects Kyshoen Jarrett (age 22.0 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #155 (range #145-#165, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 45% — real but not disqualifying. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #155 stands alone — and with bust risk at 45%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
