Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Dezmon Patmon

Draftanomics projects Dezmon Patmon (age 21.7 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #229 (range #194-#264, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 60% — scary. The comp set is strong: 3 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Devin Funchess (Franchise), Stefon Diggs (Franchise), Isaiah McKenzie (Bust). Ceiling is Devin Funchess (Franchise); floor is Justin Watson (Starter). 2 of 5 closest comps with NFL outcomes ended up backups or busts: Isaiah McKenzie, Tremon Smith. Mixed signal from history. The call is a lean fade: the model sits 29 spots below the room's consensus #200 — don't pay sticker price. The discount is earned — comp group has bust risk leads the case against.

Donovan Peoples-Jones

Draftanomics projects Donovan Peoples-Jones (age 21.2 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #125 (range #99-#151, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is mixed: 1 starters-or-better vs 1 backups-or-busts among the 2 comps with known outcomes. Closest comps: Isaiah McKenzie (Bust), Demarcus Robinson (Contributor), Kolby Listenbee. Ceiling is Russell Gage (Starter); floor is Malachi Dupre. 1 of 2 closest comps with NFL outcomes ended up backups or busts: Isaiah McKenzie. Mixed signal from history. The call is a lean fade: the model sits 29 spots below the room's consensus #96 — don't pay sticker price. The discount is earned — comp group has bust risk leads the case against.
