Risk and opportunity flags

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

Nick Vigil
Risks
  • No athletic testing
    No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured.
  • Consensus skeptic
    3 boards place him at mean rank #110; model has him #41 — a 69-spot gap. When boards fade a player this hard, the model is usually the one missing something.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Nick Kwiatkoski
Risks
No major risks flagged.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Carl Nassib
Risks
  • Older prospect
    Age 23.0 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed.
Opportunities
  • Consensus says higher
    7 boards have him at mean rank #63; model has him #118 — a 55-spot fade. Analysts converging this much above the model is a tell that the model is undervaluing him.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Nick Vigil

Draftanomics projects Nick Vigil (age 22.7 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #41 (range #31-#51, moderate 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 conviction buy: the model has him 69 spots ahead of the room (board #41 vs consensus #110), and at a 0% bust probability the edge is worth paying for.

Nick Kwiatkoski

Draftanomics projects Nick Kwiatkoski (age 22.9 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #92 (range #85-#99, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #92 sits within 4 spots of the room's #88 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.

Carl Nassib

Draftanomics projects Carl Nassib (age 23.0 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #118 (range #108-#128, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. Age 23.0 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 #63 and the model won't take him before #118 — a 55-spot markdown. The discount is earned — older prospect leads the case against.
