Risk and opportunity flags

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

Thomas Booker
Risks
  • Average-to-below athletic profile
    RAS 4.00 (40th percentile at EDGE). Athleticism is average at best for the position.
  • Comp group bust rate
    2 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Andrew Brown, Joe Jackson. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous.
  • Small-school competition
    School SP+ rating -10.2 (well below FBS median of 0). College production may not translate against NFL-quality DBs/pass-rushers. Schedule rank #58 (1=hardest).
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Josh Paschal
Risks
  • Comp group bust rate
    4 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Breeland Speaks, Khalid Kareem, Daeshon Hall (+1 more). The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Alex Wright
Risks
  • Comp group bust rate
    4 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Tanoh Kpassagnon, Deatrich Wise Jr., Joe Jackson (+1 more). The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Thomas Booker

Draftanomics projects Thomas Booker (age 22.5 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #145 (range #103-#187, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 55% — elevated. The comp set is dangerous: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Chad Thomas (Contributor), Andrew Brown (Bust), Joe Jackson (Bust). Ceiling is Zach Sieler (Starter); floor is Jalen Jelks. 2 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Andrew Brown, Joe Jackson. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #145 sits within 9 spots of the room's #154 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 55% bust probability break ties on draft day.

Josh Paschal

Draftanomics projects Josh Paschal (age 22.4 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #87 (range #55-#119, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is dangerous: 4 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Charles Omenihu (Contributor), Breeland Speaks (Bust), Khalid Kareem (Bust). Ceiling is Charles Omenihu (Contributor); floor is Joe Jackson (Bust). 4 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Breeland Speaks, Khalid Kareem, Daeshon Hall (+1 more). The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a lean fade: the model sits 14 spots below the room's consensus #73 — don't pay sticker price. The discount is earned — comp group bust rate leads the case against.

Alex Wright

Draftanomics projects Alex Wright (age 21.6 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #59 (range #14-#104, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is dangerous: 4 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Jonathan Garvin (Contributor), Tanoh Kpassagnon (Bust), Deatrich Wise Jr. (Bust). Ceiling is Jonathan Garvin (Contributor); floor is Joe Jackson (Bust). 4 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Tanoh Kpassagnon, Deatrich Wise Jr., Joe Jackson (+1 more). The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a value lean: #59 against a consensus #85 is a 26-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, with comp group bust rate the tax on that edge.
