Risk and opportunity flags

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

Jake Rudock
Risks
No major risks flagged.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Connor Cook
Risks
  • Older prospect
    Age 23.2 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed.
Opportunities
  • Consensus says higher
    17 boards have him at mean rank #55; model has him #185 — a 130-spot fade. Analysts converging this much above the model is a tell that the model is undervaluing him.
Dak Prescott

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Jake Rudock

−0.05 boards with him top-100; −0.04 charting total career snaps; −0.04 age

Connor Cook

Draftanomics projects Connor Cook (age 23.2 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #185 (range #183-#187, tight projection). 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 genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #55 and the model won't take him before #185 — a 130-spot markdown. The discount is earned — older prospect leads the case against.

Dak Prescott
