2025 NFL Draft prospect
Deone Walker
age 21.1 · 6'7" · 331 lb
On the live board, bust risk sits at 28% and the realistic range is No. 30 to No. 218.
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Deone Walker at pick #110; he was actually picked #109 by BUF. 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 Deone Walker at #110 on draft night — a Day 3 grade — and BUF took him at No. 109. The model's case leans on scout consensus and his recruiting pedigree. Bust risk projects at 28%, near the position baseline. The room had him #167 pre-draft; our board was 57 spots higher.
