Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Taylor Decker

Draftanomics projects Taylor Decker as a first-round pick at #23 (range #16-#30, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #23 sits within 9 spots of the room's #32 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.

Jack Conklin

Draftanomics projects Jack Conklin as a top-10 pick at #3 (range #1-#13, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a value lean: #3 against a consensus #24 is a 21-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early.
