Risk and opportunity flags

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

Michael Dogbe
Risks
  • No athletic testing
    No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured.
  • Consensus skeptic
    1 board place him at mean rank #370; model has him #111 — a 259-spot gap. When boards fade a player this hard, the model is usually the one missing something.
Opportunities
  • Promising comp group
    2 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes hit Starter-or-better: Ronald Blair, Za'Darius Smith.
P.J. Johnson
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #229 by DET in 2019 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have.
  • No athletic testing
    No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured.
  • Comp group bust rate
    3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Jeremiah Ledbetter, Avery Moss, Brian Mihalik. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Michael Dogbe

Draftanomics projects Michael Dogbe (age 23.0 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #111 (range #79-#143, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 22% — manageable. The comp set is strong: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Marcus Hardison, Ronald Blair (Starter), Brian Mihalik (Bust). Ceiling is Za'Darius Smith (Franchise); floor is Jonathan Woodard. No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured. The call is a conviction buy: the model has him 259 spots ahead of the room (board #111 vs consensus #370), and at a 22% bust probability the edge is worth paying for.

P.J. Johnson

Draftanomics projects P.J. Johnson (age 22.9 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #135 (range #111-#159, wide band). Bust probability sits at 76% — scary. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Jeremiah Ledbetter (Bust), Avery Moss (Bust), Jonathan Woodard. Ceiling is Ronald Blair (Starter); floor is Jonathan Woodard. Drafted #229 by DET 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 hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #135 stands alone — and with bust risk at 76%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
