The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Dexter McDonald (age 23.4 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #186 (range #172-#200, wide band). Bust probability sits at 47% — elevated. Age 23.4 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 #186 stands alone — and with bust risk at 47%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects Quinten Rollins (age 22.8 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #162 (range #148-#176, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. 40-yard dash of 4.57s — historically corners above 4.55s rarely become NFL starters. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #162 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects D'Joun Smith (age 22.6 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #74 (range #60-#88, wide band). Bust probability sits at 47% — elevated. School SP+ rating -10.4 (well below FBS median of 0). College production may not translate against NFL-quality DBs/pass-rushers. Schedule rank #88 (1=hardest). The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #74 stands alone — and with bust risk at 47%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
