Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Justin Simmons

Draftanomics projects Justin Simmons (age 22.4 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #44 (range #37-#51, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a conviction buy: the model has him 53 spots ahead of the room (board #44 vs consensus #97), and at a 0% bust probability the edge is worth paying for.

T.J. Green

Draftanomics projects T.J. Green (age 21.1 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #93 (range #83-#103, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #93 sits within 8 spots of the room's #101 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.

Jalen Mills

Draftanomics projects Jalen Mills (age 22.1 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #77 (range #70-#84, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #77 sits within 4 spots of the room's #73 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
