The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Jabrill Peppers (age 21.6 at draft) as a first-round pick at #19 (range #1-#48, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is mixed: 2 starters-or-better vs 2 backups-or-busts among the 4 comps with known outcomes. Closest comps: Adrian Amos (Franchise), Landon Collins (Franchise), Cedric Thompson. Ceiling is Landon Collins (Franchise); floor is Cedric Thompson. 2 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes ended up backups or busts: Mykkele Thompson, James Sample. Mixed signal from history. The call is a value lean: #19 against a consensus #32 is a 13-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, with comp group has bust risk the tax on that edge.
Draftanomics projects Marcus Williams (age 20.6 at draft) as a first-round pick at #26 (range #1-#56, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Adrian Amos (Franchise), Damarious Randall (Franchise), Cedric Thompson. Ceiling is Damarious Randall (Franchise); floor is Cedric Thompson. The call is a value lean: #26 against a consensus #55 is a 29-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early.
Draftanomics projects Malik Hooker (age 21.1 at draft) as a top-10 pick at #4 (range #1-#36, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Adrian Amos (Franchise), Landon Collins (Franchise), Jordan Richards (Contributor). Ceiling is Landon Collins (Franchise); floor is Cedric Thompson. 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 #4 sits within 3 spots of the room's #7 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
