The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects DeAngelo Yancey (age 22.4 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #235 (range #192-#278, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 33% — real but not disqualifying. The comp set is strong: 3 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Dezmin Lewis (Starter), JJ Nelson (Franchise), Jaelen Strong (Franchise). Ceiling is Jaelen Strong (Franchise); floor is Tre McBride (Contributor). Drafted #175 by GNB in 2017 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #235 stands alone — and with bust risk at 33%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects David Moore (age 22.3 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #151 (range #141-#161, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 12% — 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: no public board ranks him, so the model's #151 stands alone — and with bust risk at 12%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
