Risk and opportunity flags

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

Max Valles
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #179 by OAK in 2015 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have.
  • Not on any consensus board
    Model has him at pick #26 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.
Bud Dupree
Risks
  • No athletic testing
    No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured.
  • Not on any consensus board
    Model has him at pick #23 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.
Reshard Cliett
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #211 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.
  • No athletic testing
    No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured.
  • Small-school competition
    School SP+ rating -11.8 (well below FBS median of 0). College production may not translate against NFL-quality DBs/pass-rushers. Schedule rank #70 (1=hardest).
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Max Valles

Draftanomics projects Max Valles (age 20.7 at draft) as a first-round pick at #26 (range #12-#40, wide band). Bust probability sits at 21% — manageable. Drafted #179 by OAK 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 #26 stands alone — and with bust risk at 21%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Bud Dupree

Draftanomics projects Bud Dupree (age 22.2 at draft) as a first-round pick at #23 (range #9-#37, wide band). Bust probability sits at 21% — 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 #23 stands alone — and with bust risk at 21%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Reshard Cliett

Draftanomics projects Reshard Cliett (age 23.0 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #232 (range #218-#246, wide band). Bust probability sits at 25% — manageable. Drafted #211 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 #232 stands alone — and with bust risk at 25%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
