Risk and opportunity flags

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

Patrick Johnson
Risks
  • Older prospect
    Age 23.3 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed.
  • Comp group bust rate
    4 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Tarell Basham, Duke Ejiofor, Jordan Brailford (+1 more). The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous.
Opportunities
  • Consensus says higher
    2 boards have him at mean rank #170; model has him #211 — a 40-spot fade. Analysts converging this much above the model is a tell that the model is undervaluing him.
Malcolm Koonce
Risks
  • Average-to-below athletic profile
    RAS 3.12 (31th percentile at EDGE). Athleticism is average at best for the position.
  • Comp group has bust risk
    1 of 2 closest comps with NFL outcomes ended up backups or busts: Michael Dogbe. Mixed signal from history.
Opportunities
  • Consensus says higher
    1 board have him at mean rank #191; model has him #237 — a 46-spot fade. Analysts converging this much above the model is a tell that the model is undervaluing him.
Chris Garrett
Risks
  • Average-to-below athletic profile
    RAS 3.52 (35th percentile at EDGE). Athleticism is average at best for the position.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Patrick Johnson

Draftanomics projects Patrick Johnson (age 23.3 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #211 (range #168-#254, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 20% — manageable. The comp set is dangerous: 4 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Tarell Basham (Bust), Duke Ejiofor (Bust), John Cominsky (Contributor). Ceiling is John Cominsky (Contributor); floor is Jordan Brailford (Bust). 4 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Tarell Basham, Duke Ejiofor, Jordan Brailford (+1 more). The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #170 and the model won't take him before #211 — a 40-spot markdown. The discount is earned — older prospect leads the case against.

Malcolm Koonce

Draftanomics projects Malcolm Koonce (age 22.9 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #237 (range #199-#275, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 22% — manageable. The comp set is mixed: 1 starters-or-better vs 1 backups-or-busts among the 2 comps with known outcomes. Closest comps: Michael Dogbe (Backup), Jalen Jelks, Zach Sieler (Starter). Ceiling is Zach Sieler (Starter); floor is Michael Dogbe (Backup). RAS 3.12 (31th percentile at EDGE). Athleticism is average at best for the position. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #191 and the model won't take him before #237 — a 46-spot markdown. The discount is earned — average-to-below athletic profile leads the case against.

Chris Garrett

Draftanomics projects Chris Garrett (age 22.8 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #150 (range #133-#167, wide band). Bust probability sits at 22% — manageable. RAS 3.52 (35th percentile at EDGE). Athleticism is average at best for the position. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #150 stands alone — and with bust risk at 22%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
