Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Brandon Aiyuk

Draftanomics projects Brandon Aiyuk (age 22.1 at draft) as a first-round pick at #32 (range #1-#82, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Courtland Sutton (Franchise), Christian Kirk (Franchise), D.J. Moore (Franchise). Ceiling is D.J. Moore (Franchise); floor is Keke Coutee (Contributor). The call is a hold at slot: the model's #32 sits within 9 spots of the room's #41 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.

Antonio Gandy-Golden

Draftanomics projects Antonio Gandy-Golden (age 22.0 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #103 (range #69-#137, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 57% — elevated. The comp set is mixed: 2 starters-or-better vs 2 backups-or-busts among the 4 comps with known outcomes. Closest comps: Michael Gallup (Franchise), Chad Hansen (Bust), Cedrick Wilson Jr. (Contributor). Ceiling is Jaelen Strong (Franchise); floor is Cedrick Wilson Jr. (Contributor). RAS 4.56 (45th percentile at WR). Athleticism is average at best for the position. The call is a lean fade: the model sits 15 spots below the room's consensus #88 — don't pay sticker price. The discount is earned — average-to-below athletic profile leads the case against.

Denzel Mims

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.
