The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Tyler Badie (age 22.2 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #191 (range #157-#225, 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: Ke'Shawn Vaughn (Bust), Eno Benjamin (Contributor), La'Mical Perine (Bust). Ceiling is Joshua Kelley (Contributor); floor is Eno Benjamin (Contributor). 3 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Ke'Shawn Vaughn, La'Mical Perine, Jason Huntley. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a value lean: #191 against a consensus #218 is a 27-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, with average-to-below athletic profile the tax on that edge.
Draftanomics projects Jerome Ford (age 22.6 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #195 (range #160-#230, 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: La'Mical Perine (Bust), Ke'Shawn Vaughn (Bust), Eno Benjamin (Contributor). Ceiling is Joshua Kelley (Contributor); floor is Eno Benjamin (Contributor). Career trajectory in rushing yards: 114 → 483 → 1319. Production rose every season — the kind of upward arc that often continues into the league. 3 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: La'Mical Perine, Ke'Shawn Vaughn, Trayveon Williams. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #93 and the model won't take him before #195 — a 102-spot markdown. The discount is earned — comp group bust rate leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects Dameon Pierce (age 22.2 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #136 (range #99-#173, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is dangerous: 2 of 2 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Ke'Shawn Vaughn (Bust), La'Mical Perine (Bust), Eno Benjamin (Contributor). Ceiling is Antonio Gibson (Contributor); floor is Eno Benjamin (Contributor). 2 of 2 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Ke'Shawn Vaughn, La'Mical Perine. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #87 and the model won't take him before #136 — a 49-spot markdown. The discount is earned — average-to-below athletic profile leads the case against.
