Risk and opportunity flags

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

Nick Muse
Risks
  • Older prospect
    Age 23.4 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed.
  • No athletic testing
    No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured.
  • Comp group bust rate
    3 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Kahale Warring, Dalton Keene, Tommy Sweeney. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Connor Heyward
Risks
  • Older prospect
    Age 23.3 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed.
  • Average-to-below athletic profile
    RAS 3.46 (34th percentile at TE). Athleticism is average at best for the position.
  • TE slow 40 (4.72s)
    40-yard dash of 4.72s — below-average separation speed for the position.
Opportunities
  • Promising comp group
    2 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes hit Starter-or-better: Adam Trautman, Drew Sample.
Grant Calcaterra
Risks
  • Older prospect
    Age 23.4 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed.
  • Comp group bust rate
    3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Stephen Sullivan, Brycen Hopkins, Devin Asiasi. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous.
  • Below-cohort college production
    Position-cohort z-score on production composite is -1.46 — well below the skill average. Raw box-score output didn't keep pace with peers.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Nick Muse

Draftanomics projects Nick Muse (age 23.4 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #227 (range #194-#260, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 6% — low. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Trevon Wesco (Contributor), Colby Parkinson (Contributor), Kahale Warring (Bust). Ceiling is Trevon Wesco (Contributor); floor is Tommy Sweeney (Backup). 3 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Kahale Warring, Dalton Keene, Tommy Sweeney. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #227 stands alone — and with bust risk at 6%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Connor Heyward

Draftanomics projects Connor Heyward (age 23.3 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #230 (range #211-#249, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Josiah Deguara (Contributor), Brycen Hopkins (Bust), Trevon Wesco (Contributor). Ceiling is Drew Sample (Starter); floor is Trevon Wesco (Contributor). Age 23.3 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed. The call is a value lean: #230 against a consensus #247 is a 17-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, with older prospect the tax on that edge.

Grant Calcaterra

Draftanomics projects Grant Calcaterra (age 23.4 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #257 (range #217-#297, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 32% — real but not disqualifying. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Josiah Deguara (Contributor), Stephen Sullivan (Bust), Brycen Hopkins (Bust). Ceiling is Adam Trautman (Starter); floor is Devin Asiasi (Backup). 3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Stephen Sullivan, Brycen Hopkins, Devin Asiasi. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a value lean: #257 against a consensus #282 is a 25-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, with older prospect the tax on that edge.
