Risk and opportunity flags

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

Ronald Darby
Risks
  • Not on any consensus board
    Model has him at pick #34 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.
Jalen Collins
Risks
  • Not on any consensus board
    Model has him at pick #53 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.
Alex Carter
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #80 by DET 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 #22 but ZERO public big boards have him on their list. Either we're seeing something nobody else does, or the model is hallucinating.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Ronald Darby

Draftanomics projects Ronald Darby (age 21.3 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #34 (range #20-#48, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #34 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Jalen Collins

Draftanomics projects Jalen Collins (age 22.1 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #53 (range #43-#63, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #53 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Alex Carter

Draftanomics projects Alex Carter (age 20.5 at draft) as a first-round pick at #22 (range #8-#36, wide band). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. Drafted #80 by DET 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 #22 stands alone — and with bust risk at 65%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
