The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Jonathan Marshall (age 23.6 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #167 (range #113-#221, 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: Renell Wren (Bust), Dakota Allen (Bust), Sebastian Joseph-Day (Starter). Ceiling is L.J. Collier (Starter); floor is P.J. Johnson. Age 23.6 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed. The call is a conviction buy: the model has him 76 spots ahead of the room (board #167 vs consensus #243), and at a 0% bust probability the edge is worth paying for.
Draftanomics projects Boogie Basham (age 23.4 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #207 (range #190-#224, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. Age 23.4 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #43 and the model won't take him before #207 — a 164-spot markdown. The discount is earned — older prospect leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects Tedarrell Slaton (age 23.6 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #194 (range #159-#229, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Dontavius Russell (Bust), Vince Biegel (Bust), Demarcus Christmas. Ceiling is Byron Cowart (Contributor); floor is Demarcus Christmas. 3 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Dontavius Russell, Vince Biegel, Dakota Allen. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a conviction buy: the model has him 139 spots ahead of the room (board #194 vs consensus #333), and at a 0% bust probability the edge is worth paying for.
