The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Corey Ballentine (age 23.0 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #192 (range #175-#209, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. Age 23.0 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #105 and the model won't take him before #192 — a 87-spot markdown. The discount is earned — older prospect leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects Isaiah Johnson (age 23.4 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #93 (range #44-#142, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 37% — 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: Prince Charles Iworah (Bust), Fabian Moreau (Bust), Brian Allen (Bust). Ceiling is Craig Mager (Starter); floor is Dexter McDonald (Contributor). 3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Prince Charles Iworah, Fabian Moreau, Brian Allen. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a value lean: #93 against a consensus #106 is a 13-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, with older prospect the tax on that edge.
Draftanomics projects Donnie Lewis Jr. (age 22.8 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #179 (range #149-#209, 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: Anthony Brown (Starter), Shaquill Griffin (Bust), Corn Elder. Ceiling is Anthony Brown (Starter); floor is Corn Elder. Drafted #221 by CLE 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 conviction buy: the model has him 187 spots ahead of the room (board #179 vs consensus #366) — but size the bet for the 65% bust probability; this is a price edge, not a safety edge.
