The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Joe Thuney as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #98 (range #84-#112, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #98 sits within 3 spots of the room's #95 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
Draftanomics projects Joe Dahl as a Day 3 dart throw at #182 (range #172-#192, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 5% — low. No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #110 and the model won't take him before #182 — a 72-spot markdown. The 72-spot markdown rests on thin verified signal rather than a named flaw — the model hasn't seen enough yet to match the room's conviction.
Draftanomics projects Wes Schweitzer as a Day 3 dart throw at #213 (range #199-#227, wide band). Bust probability sits at 63% — scary. No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured. The call is a conviction buy: the model has him 685 spots ahead of the room (board #213 vs consensus #898) — but size the bet for the 63% bust probability; this is a price edge, not a safety edge.
