The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Michael Pittman Jr. (age 22.6 at draft) as a first-round pick at #22 (range #1-#73, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Jordan Payton (Bust), Sterling Shepard (Starter), Corey Coleman (Starter). Ceiling is Corey Coleman (Starter); floor is Sterling Shepard (Starter). 3 of 5 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Jordan Payton, Shelton Gibson, Aaron Burbridge. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a conviction buy: the model has him 31 spots ahead of the room (board #22 vs consensus #53), and at a 0% bust probability the edge is worth paying for.
Draftanomics projects Chase Claypool (age 21.8 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #122 (range #96-#148, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is mixed: 2 starters-or-better vs 2 backups-or-busts among the 4 comps with known outcomes. Closest comps: Antonio Callaway (Contributor), Corey Coleman (Starter), Chris Godwin (Bust). Ceiling is Corey Coleman (Starter); floor is Antonio Callaway (Contributor). RAS 8.84 (88th percentile at WR). Athletic tools that translate cleanly to the NFL. 2 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes ended up backups or busts: Chris Godwin, John Ross. Mixed signal from history. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #77 and the model won't take him before #122 — a 45-spot markdown. The discount is earned — comp group has bust risk leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects Denzel Mims (age 22.5 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #57 (range #19-#95, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Chris Godwin (Bust), Antonio Callaway (Contributor), Will Fuller (Starter). Ceiling is Will Fuller (Starter); floor is Kolby Listenbee. The call is a lean fade: the model sits 20 spots below the room's consensus #37 — don't pay sticker price. The 20-spot markdown rests on thin verified signal rather than a named flaw — the model hasn't seen enough yet to match the room's conviction.
