Risk and opportunity flags

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

Jordan Elliott
Risks
  • Average-to-below athletic profile
    RAS 4.28 (42th percentile at DT). Athleticism is average at best for the position.
  • Comp group bust rate
    3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Caleb Brantley, Montravius Adams, Elijah Qualls. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Ross Blacklock
Risks
No major risks flagged.
Opportunities
  • Consensus says higher
    29 boards have him at mean rank #35; model has him #96 — a 61-spot fade. Analysts converging this much above the model is a tell that the model is undervaluing him.
Nnamdi Madubuike
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.
Opportunities
  • Consensus says higher
    2 boards have him at mean rank #42; model has him #77 — a 35-spot fade. Analysts converging this much above the model is a tell that the model is undervaluing him.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Jordan Elliott

Draftanomics projects Jordan Elliott (age 22.4 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #65 (range #34-#96, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Caleb Brantley (Bust), Montravius Adams (Bust), Sheldon Day (Starter). Ceiling is Sheldon Day (Starter); floor is Kentavius Street (Contributor). 3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Caleb Brantley, Montravius Adams, Elijah Qualls. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #65 sits within 6 spots of the room's #71 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.

Ross Blacklock

Draftanomics projects Ross Blacklock (age 21.8 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #96 (range #60-#132, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set leans young — most of his closest comps haven't played enough NFL snaps yet to be confidently graded. Closest comps: Taven Bryan (Contributor), Sheldon Rankins (Starter), Kentavius Street (Contributor). Ceiling is Sheldon Rankins (Starter); floor is Maurice Hurst Jr. (Contributor). The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #35 and the model won't take him before #96 — a 61-spot markdown. The 61-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.

Nnamdi Madubuike

Draftanomics projects Nnamdi Madubuike (age 22.4 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #77 (range #60-#94, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. 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 genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #42 and the model won't take him before #77 — a 35-spot markdown. The 35-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.
