The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Marquez Stevenson (age 23.1 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #155 (range #112-#198, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 26% — manageable. The comp set is dangerous: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: J'Mon Moore (Bust), Devin Lucien, Diontae Johnson (Franchise). Ceiling is Diontae Johnson (Franchise); floor is Dillon Mitchell. 2 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: J'Mon Moore, Jaleel Scott. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #106 and the model won't take him before #155 — a 49-spot markdown. The discount is earned — older prospect leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects D'Wayne Eskridge (age 24.1 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #42 (range #12-#72, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is dangerous: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Travis Fulgham (Contributor), Jakeem Grant (Contributor), Mack Hollins (Bust). Ceiling is Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Starter); floor is Jakeem Grant (Contributor). 2 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Mack Hollins, Cooper Kupp. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a conviction buy: the model has him 40 spots ahead of the room (board #42 vs consensus #82), and at a 0% bust probability the edge is worth paying for.
Draftanomics projects Dez Fitzpatrick (age 23.4 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #254 (range #227-#281, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 62% — scary. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: J'Mon Moore (Bust), Devin Lucien, Jaleel Scott (Bust). Ceiling is Jakeem Grant (Contributor); floor is Devin Lucien. 3 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: J'Mon Moore, Jaleel Scott, Mack Hollins. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #138 and the model won't take him before #254 — a 116-spot markdown. The discount is earned — older prospect leads the case against.
