The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Jachai Polite (age 21.1 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #74 (range #28-#120, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Haason Reddick (Bust), Raekwon McMillan, Blake Martinez (Starter). Ceiling is Blake Martinez (Starter); floor is Raekwon McMillan. Drafted #68 by NYJ 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 lean fade: the model sits 15 spots below the room's consensus #59 — don't pay sticker price. The discount is earned — missed entire rookie season leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects Rashan Gary (age 21.4 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #36 (range #8-#64, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Raekwon McMillan, Jarrad Davis (Bust), Blake Martinez (Starter). Ceiling is Blake Martinez (Starter); floor is Raekwon McMillan. 3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Jarrad Davis, Haason Reddick, Duke Riley. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #36 sits within 9 spots of the room's #27 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
Draftanomics projects Ben Burr-Kirven (age 21.6 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #75 (range #35-#115, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 35% — real but not disqualifying. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Raekwon McMillan, Blake Martinez (Starter), Jarrad Davis (Bust). Ceiling is Blake Martinez (Starter); floor is Raekwon McMillan. 3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Jarrad Davis, Duke Riley, Jordan Evans. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #75 sits within 5 spots of the room's #80 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 35% bust probability break ties on draft day.
