Risk and opportunity flags

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

T.J. Yeldon
Risks
  • Not on any consensus board
    Model has him at pick #3 but ZERO public big boards have him on their list. Either we're seeing something nobody else does, or the model is hallucinating.
  • Negative per-play impact
    PPA avg_all 0.249 — per-snap contribution is below-average for the position. Volume stats overstate the impact.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Karlos Williams
Risks
  • Negative per-play impact
    PPA avg_all 0.172 — per-snap contribution is below-average for the position. Volume stats overstate the impact.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Kenny Hilliard
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #235 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.
  • Older prospect
    Age 23.5 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed.
  • Negative per-play impact
    PPA avg_all 0.211 — per-snap contribution is below-average for the position. Volume stats overstate the impact.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

T.J. Yeldon

Draftanomics projects T.J. Yeldon (age 21.6 at draft) as a top-10 pick at #3 (range #1-#5, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. PPA avg_all 0.249 — per-snap contribution is below-average for the position. Volume stats overstate the impact. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #3 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Karlos Williams

Draftanomics projects Karlos Williams (age 22.0 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #230 (range #228-#232, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 6% — low. PPA avg_all 0.172 — per-snap contribution is below-average for the position. Volume stats overstate the impact. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #230 stands alone — and with bust risk at 6%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Kenny Hilliard

Draftanomics projects Kenny Hilliard (age 23.5 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #243 (range #241-#245, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 77% — scary. Drafted #235 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 #243 stands alone — and with bust risk at 77%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
