The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Jerell Adams (age 23.3 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #216 (range #214-#218, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. Age 23.3 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #74 and the model won't take him before #216 — a 142-spot markdown. The discount is earned — older prospect leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects Nick Vannett (age 23.1 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #211 (range #209-#213, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. Age 23.1 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #86 and the model won't take him before #211 — a 124-spot markdown. The discount is earned — older prospect leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects Seth Devalve (age 23.2 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #200 (range #179-#221, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. Age 23.2 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed. The call is a conviction buy: the model has him 776 spots ahead of the room (board #200 vs consensus #976), and at a 0% bust probability the edge is worth paying for.
