The model's plain-English read.
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.
Draftanomics projects K.J. Dillon (age 22.0 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #202 (range #188-#216, wide band). Bust probability sits at 10% — 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 genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #162 and the model won't take him before #202 — a 40-spot markdown. The 40-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 Derrick Kindred (age 22.4 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #100 (range #90-#110, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a conviction buy: the model has him 197 spots ahead of the room (board #100 vs consensus #297), and at a 0% bust probability the edge is worth paying for.
