Risk and opportunity flags

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

Kerryon Johnson
Risks
No major risks flagged.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Derrius Guice
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #59 by WAS in 2018 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have.
Opportunities
  • Strong comp group
    4 of 5 closest comps with NFL outcomes became Starters or Franchise players: Ezekiel Elliott, Derrick Henry, Alex Collins (+1 more). The historical neighborhood overwhelmingly produced NFL contributors.

Derrius Guice

Draftanomics projects Derrius Guice (age 20.9 at draft) as a top-10 pick at #1 (range #1-#44, wide band). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. The comp set is strong: 4 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Ezekiel Elliott (Starter), Derrick Henry (Starter), Alex Collins (Starter). Ceiling is Ezekiel Elliott (Starter); floor is Alex Collins (Starter). Drafted #59 by WAS in 2018 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 value lean: #1 against a consensus #21 is a 20-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, with missed entire rookie season the tax on that edge.
