Risk and opportunity flags

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

James Daniels
Risks
No major risks flagged.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Billy Price
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.
Scott Quessenberry
Risks
  • Consensus skeptic
    5 boards place him at mean rank #98; model has him #57 — a 41-spot gap. When boards fade a player this hard, the model is usually the one missing something.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

James Daniels

Draftanomics projects James Daniels as a first-round pick at #31 (range #1-#90, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set leans young — most of his closest comps haven't played enough NFL snaps yet to be confidently graded. Closest comps: Ryan Kelly, Graham Glasgow, Austin Blythe. Ceiling is Ryan Kelly; floor is Austin Blythe. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #31 and the room's #31 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.

Billy Price

Draftanomics projects Billy Price as a Day 2 pick at #34 (range #1-#93, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set leans young — most of his closest comps haven't played enough NFL snaps yet to be confidently graded. Closest comps: Ryan Kelly, Graham Glasgow, Austin Blythe. Ceiling is Ryan Kelly; floor is Austin Blythe. 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 #34 and the room's #35 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.

Scott Quessenberry

Draftanomics projects Scott Quessenberry as a Day 2 pick at #57 (range #8-#106, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set leans young — most of his closest comps haven't played enough NFL snaps yet to be confidently graded. Closest comps: Austin Blythe, Graham Glasgow, Andy Gallik. Ceiling is Ali Marpet; floor is Austin Blythe. The call is a conviction buy: the model has him 41 spots ahead of the room (board #57 vs consensus #98), and at a 0% bust probability the edge is worth paying for.
