2025 NFL Draft prospect
Elijah Roberts
age 23.3
On the live board, bust risk sits at 19% and the realistic range is No. 45 to No. 229.
Limited public-board coverage (1 board) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Elijah Roberts at pick #186; he was actually picked #157 by TAM. 1 NFL season in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading -2.8 of 20 per season). The 4-tier model has him as a likely starter.

Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Elijah Roberts at #186 on draft night — a Day 3 grade — and TAM took him at No. 157. The model's case leans on his age curve. Bust risk projects at 19%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade. The room had him #146 pre-draft; our board sat 40 spots lower.
Written from the live model's numbers — projected to round 6, and it updates whenever the model does. See for what drives the take.
