Risk and opportunity flags

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

Caleb Wilson
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #254 by ARI in 2019 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have.
  • Comp group has bust risk
    2 of 5 closest comps with NFL outcomes ended up backups or busts: Temarrick Hemingway, Eric Saubert. Mixed signal from history.
Opportunities
  • Consensus says higher
    1 board have him at mean rank #182; model has him #251 — a 69-spot fade. Analysts converging this much above the model is a tell that the model is undervaluing him.
  • Promising comp group
    3 of 5 closest comps with NFL outcomes hit Starter-or-better: MyCole Pruitt, Maxx Williams, Tyler Kroft.
Jace Sternberger
Risks
  • TE slow 40 (4.75s)
    40-yard dash of 4.75s — below-average separation speed for the position.
  • Comp group bust rate
    3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Thomas Duarte, Evan Engram, Adam Shaheen. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous.
Opportunities
  • Consensus says higher
    22 boards have him at mean rank #75; model has him #131 — a 56-spot fade. Analysts converging this much above the model is a tell that the model is undervaluing him.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Caleb Wilson

Draftanomics projects Caleb Wilson (age 22.8 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #251 (range #219-#283, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. The comp set is strong: 3 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: MyCole Pruitt (Starter), Maxx Williams (Starter), Tyler Kroft (Starter). Ceiling is Maxx Williams (Starter); floor is MyCole Pruitt (Starter). Drafted #254 by ARI in 2019 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 genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #182 and the model won't take him before #251 — a 69-spot markdown. The discount is earned — missed entire rookie season leads the case against.

Jace Sternberger

Draftanomics projects Jace Sternberger (age 22.8 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #131 (range #81-#181, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 57% — elevated. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Thomas Duarte (Bust), Jordan Leggett, Evan Engram (Bust). Ceiling is Nick Vannett (Starter); floor is Jordan Leggett. 3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Thomas Duarte, Evan Engram, Adam Shaheen. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #75 and the model won't take him before #131 — a 56-spot markdown. The discount is earned — te slow 40 (4.75s) leads the case against.
