The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Cameron McGrone (age 20.9 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #61 (range #24-#98, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 43% — real but not disqualifying. The comp set is dangerous: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Anthony Walker (Bust), Vosean Joseph, Raekwon McMillan. Ceiling is Shaquille Leonard (Franchise); floor is Vosean Joseph. Drafted #177 by NWE in 2021 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 value lean: #61 against a consensus #87 is a 26-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, with missed entire rookie season the tax on that edge.
Draftanomics projects Buddy Johnson (age 22.2 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #129 (range #95-#163, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 41% — real but not disqualifying. The comp set is strong: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: David Long (Starter), Cody Barton (Starter), Kenny Young (Contributor). Ceiling is Cody Barton (Starter); floor is Kenny Young (Contributor). The call is a conviction buy: the model has him 164 spots ahead of the room (board #129 vs consensus #293), and at a 41% bust probability the edge is worth paying for.
