Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Joshua Perry

Draftanomics projects Joshua Perry (age 22.0 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #47 (range #40-#54, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 48% — elevated. The call is a value lean: #47 against a consensus #61 is a 14-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, and the wide band around the 48% bust number says size it modestly.

Blake Martinez

Draftanomics projects Blake Martinez (age 22.3 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #109 (range #99-#119, 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 hold at slot: the model's #109 sits within 10 spots of the room's #120 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.

Sheldon Day

Draftanomics projects Sheldon Day (age 21.8 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #82 (range #75-#89, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. School SP+ 22.4 (FBS INDEPENDENTS). Strong program among non-Power-5 — the prospect dominated against decent competition. The call is a lean fade: the model sits 12 spots below the room's consensus #70 — don't pay sticker price. The 12-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.
