The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Ke'Shawn Vaughn (age 23.0 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #232 (range #195-#269, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 20% — manageable. The comp set leans young — most of his closest comps haven't played enough NFL snaps yet to be confidently graded. Closest comps: Khalfani Muhammad, Boston Scott (Contributor), Nyheim Hines (Contributor). Ceiling is Nyheim Hines (Contributor); floor is Khalfani Muhammad. RAS 4.24 (42th percentile at RB). Athleticism is average at best for the position. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #99 and the model won't take him before #232 — a 133-spot markdown. The discount is earned — average-to-below athletic profile leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects La'Mical Perine (age 22.2 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #211 (range #190-#232, wide band). Bust probability sits at 57% — elevated. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Wayne Gallman (Bust), Kelvin Taylor, Samaje Perine (Bust). Ceiling is Wendell Smallwood (Starter); floor is Kelvin Taylor. 3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Wayne Gallman, Samaje Perine, David Cobb. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #72 and the model won't take him before #211 — a 139-spot markdown. The discount is earned — average-to-below athletic profile leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects Eno Benjamin (age 21.0 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #217 (range #199-#235, wide band). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: John Kelly (Bust), Kalen Ballage (Contributor), Brian Hill (Bust). Ceiling is Nyheim Hines (Contributor); floor is Mark Walton (Backup). Drafted #222 by ARI 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 #101 and the model won't take him before #217 — a 116-spot markdown. The discount is earned — missed entire rookie season leads the case against.
