Risk and opportunity flags

Top three concerns and top two upside signals from the model.

Will Fuller
Risks
No major risks flagged.
Opportunities
  • Mid-major standout
    School SP+ 22.4 (FBS INDEPENDENTS). Strong program among non-Power-5 — the prospect dominated against decent competition.
Tyler Boyd
Risks
No major risks flagged.
Opportunities
  • Consensus says higher
    15 boards have him at mean rank #59; model has him #122 — a 63-spot fade. Analysts converging this much above the model is a tell that the model is undervaluing him.
Mike Thomas
Risks
  • No athletic testing
    No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Will Fuller

Draftanomics projects Will Fuller (age 22.0 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #67 (range #57-#77, 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 20 spots below the room's consensus #47 — don't pay sticker price. The 20-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.

Tyler Boyd

Draftanomics projects Tyler Boyd (age 21.4 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #122 (range #120-#124, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #59 and the model won't take him before #122 — a 63-spot markdown. The 63-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.

Mike Thomas

Draftanomics projects Mike Thomas (age 21.7 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #148 (range #138-#158, 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 value lean: #148 against a consensus #163 is a 15-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early.
