The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Ka'dar Hollman (age 24.6 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #244 (range #216-#272, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 53% — elevated. The comp set is dangerous: 4 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Taurean Nixon (Bust), Darryl Roberts (Starter), Damontae Kazee (Bust). Ceiling is Darryl Roberts (Starter); floor is Taurean Nixon (Bust). Age 24.6 at draft. Players entering the league past 24 hit fewer career milestones — the developmental window is already compressed before they take an NFL snap. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #244 stands alone — and with bust risk at 53%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects Lonnie Johnson Jr. (age 23.5 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #166 (range #125-#207, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 20% — manageable. The comp set is dangerous: 5 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Brian Allen (Bust), Prince Charles Iworah (Bust), Adrian Colbert (Bust). Ceiling is Fabian Moreau (Bust); floor is Prince Charles Iworah (Bust). 5 of 5 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Brian Allen, Prince Charles Iworah, Adrian Colbert (+2 more). The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #82 and the model won't take him before #166 — a 84-spot markdown. The discount is earned — older prospect leads the case against.
