Draftanomics Rank
Medium conviction#62S·West Virginia
The league moved faster than our board — OAK took him at No. 14, 48 picks ahead of our No. 62 grade. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Karl Joseph at #62 on draft night — a Day 2 grade — and OAK took him at No. 14, 48 picks earlier than our grade. The model's case leans on broad top-100 board coverage. Bust risk projects at 2%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade. The room had him #52 pre-draft; our board sat 10 spots lower.
