Risk and opportunity flags

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

Vince Mayle
Risks
  • Older prospect
    Age 23.9 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed.
  • WR slow 40 (4.67s)
    40-yard dash of 4.67s — below-average separation speed for the position.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Da'Ron Brown
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #233 by KAN in 2015 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have.
  • Older prospect
    Age 23.6 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Vince Mayle

Draftanomics projects Vince Mayle (age 23.9 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #219 (range #217-#221, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 77% — scary. Age 23.9 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 #219 stands alone — and with bust risk at 77%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Da'Ron Brown

Draftanomics projects Da'Ron Brown (age 23.6 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #250 (range #248-#252, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 77% — scary. Drafted #233 by KAN 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 #250 stands alone — and with bust risk at 77%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
