The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Karl Joseph (age 22.6 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #62 (range #55-#69, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #62 sits within 11 spots of the room's #51 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
Draftanomics projects Deon Bush (age 22.7 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #229 (range #219-#239, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 6% — low. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #90 and the model won't take him before #229 — a 138-spot markdown. The 138-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 Jayron Kearse (age 22.2 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #84 (range #74-#94, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #84 sits within 10 spots of the room's #94 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
