Risk and opportunity flags

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

Anthony Schwartz
Risks
  • Average-to-below athletic profile
    RAS 4.73 (47th percentile at WR). 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: Ryan Switzer. Mixed signal from history.
  • Negative per-play impact
    PPA avg_all 0.402 — per-snap contribution is below-average for the position. Volume stats overstate the impact.
Opportunities
  • Consensus says higher
    7 boards have him at mean rank #86; model has him #140 — a 54-spot fade. Analysts converging this much above the model is a tell that the model is undervaluing him.
Seth Williams
Risks
No major risks flagged.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Anthony Schwartz

Draftanomics projects Anthony Schwartz (age 20.6 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #140 (range #104-#176, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 57% — elevated. The comp set is mixed: 1 starters-or-better vs 1 backups-or-busts among the 2 comps with known outcomes. Closest comps: Rodney Adams, Ryan Switzer (Bust), Russell Gage (Starter). Ceiling is Russell Gage (Starter); floor is Deon Cain (Contributor). RAS 4.73 (47th percentile at WR). Athleticism is average at best for the position. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #86 and the model won't take him before #140 — a 54-spot markdown. The discount is earned — average-to-below athletic profile leads the case against.

Seth Williams

Draftanomics projects Seth Williams (age 21.1 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #87 (range #37-#137, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set leans young — most of his closest comps haven't played enough NFL snaps yet to be confidently graded. Closest comps: Isaiah Ford, Dante Pettis (Contributor), Ryan Switzer (Bust). Ceiling is Dante Pettis (Contributor); floor is Dillon Mitchell. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #87 sits within 6 spots of the room's #93 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
