The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Diontae Johnson (age 22.8 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #173 (range #134-#212, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 38% — real but not disqualifying. The comp set is dangerous: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Chad Hansen (Bust), Jaelen Strong (Franchise), Mike Thomas (Contributor). Ceiling is Jaelen Strong (Franchise); floor is Mike Thomas (Contributor). 2 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Chad Hansen, Daniel Braverman. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #118 and the model won't take him before #173 — a 55-spot markdown. The discount is earned — comp group bust rate leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects N'Keal Harry (age 21.4 at draft) as a first-round pick at #18 (range #1-#63, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 9% — low. The comp set is dangerous: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Daniel Braverman (Bust), Isaiah Ford, Mike Thomas (Contributor). Ceiling is Tyler Boyd (Starter); floor is Isaiah Ford. 2 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Daniel Braverman, Chad Hansen. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a value lean: #18 against a consensus #34 is a 16-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, with comp group bust rate the tax on that edge.
