Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Jack Conklin

Draftanomics projects Jack Conklin as a top-10 pick at #3 (range #1-#13, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a value lean: #3 against a consensus #24 is a 21-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early.

Alex Lewis

Draftanomics projects Alex Lewis as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #75 (range #68-#82, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #75 and the room's #74 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.

Willie Beavers

Draftanomics projects Willie Beavers as a mid-round flyer at #135 (range #125-#145, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 40% — real but not disqualifying. 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 lean fade: the model sits 25 spots below the room's consensus #110 — don't pay sticker price. The 25-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.
