The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Wendell Smallwood (age 22.2 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #195 (range #193-#197, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 16% — manageable. Career trajectory in rushing yards: 221 → 722 → 1519. Production rose every season — the kind of upward arc that often continues into the league. PPA avg_all 0.268 — per-snap contribution is below-average for the position. Volume stats overstate the impact. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #195 stands alone — and with bust risk at 16%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects Keenan Reynolds (age 22.4 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #227 (range #225-#229, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 50% — elevated. School SP+ 12.1 (AMERICAN ATHLETIC). Strong program among non-Power-5 — the prospect dominated against decent competition. Drafted #182 by BAL in 2016 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #227 stands alone — and with bust risk at 50%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects Dwayne Washington (age 22.0 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #226 (range #224-#228, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 22% — manageable. 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: no public board ranks him, so the model's #226 stands alone — and with bust risk at 22%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
