Risk and opportunity flags

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

Nate Stanley
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #244 by MIN in 2020 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have.
  • Comp group bust rate
    2 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Jake Rudock, C.J. Beathard. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous.
  • Negative per-play impact
    PPA avg_all 0.263 — per-snap contribution is below-average for the position. Volume stats overstate the impact.
Opportunities
  • Consensus says higher
    1 board have him at mean rank #159; model has him #198 — a 39-spot fade. Analysts converging this much above the model is a tell that the model is undervaluing him.
Jake Fromm
Risks
  • Comp group bust rate
    3 of 5 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Jake Rudock, DeShone Kizer, C.J. Beathard. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous.
  • Negative per-play impact
    PPA avg_all 0.274 — per-snap contribution is below-average for the position. Volume stats overstate the impact.
Opportunities
  • Consensus says higher
    24 boards have him at mean rank #90; model has him #163 — a 73-spot fade. Analysts converging this much above the model is a tell that the model is undervaluing him.
Tommy Stevens
Risks
  • Older prospect
    Age 23.4 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed.
  • 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.
  • Comp group bust rate
    2 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Kyle Lauletta, C.J. Beathard. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Nate Stanley

Draftanomics projects Nate Stanley (age 22.7 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #198 (range #156-#240, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. The comp set is dangerous: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Jake Rudock (Bust), Davis Webb, C.J. Beathard (Bust). Ceiling is Trevor Siemian (Franchise); floor is Brad Kaaya. Drafted #244 by MIN in 2020 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 genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #159 and the model won't take him before #198 — a 39-spot markdown. The discount is earned — missed entire rookie season leads the case against.

Jake Fromm

Draftanomics projects Jake Fromm (age 21.7 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #163 (range #116-#210, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 58% — elevated. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Jameis Winston (Franchise), Jake Rudock (Bust), DeShone Kizer (Bust). Ceiling is Jameis Winston (Franchise); floor is Sam Darnold (Franchise). 3 of 5 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Jake Rudock, DeShone Kizer, C.J. Beathard. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #90 and the model won't take him before #163 — a 73-spot markdown. The discount is earned — comp group bust rate leads the case against.

Tommy Stevens

Draftanomics projects Tommy Stevens (age 23.4 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #226 (range #182-#270, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 56% — elevated. The comp set is dangerous: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Trevor Siemian (Franchise), Kyle Lauletta (Bust), Tanner Lee. Ceiling is Trevor Siemian (Franchise); floor is Tanner Lee. 2 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Kyle Lauletta, C.J. Beathard. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #226 stands alone — and with bust risk at 56%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
