The model's plain-English read.
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.
Draftanomics projects Jonathan Bullard (age 22.5 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #40 (range #30-#50, 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 #40 sits within 4 spots of the room's #36 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
Draftanomics projects Sheldon Rankins (age 22.1 at draft) as a first-round pick at #18 (range #11-#25, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #18 and the room's #18 land on the same answer — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
