2025 NFL Draft prospect
Donovan Ezeiruaku
age 21.6 · 6'3" · 248 lb
On the live board, bust risk sits at 0% and the realistic range is No. 3 to No. 64.
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick #21; he was actually picked #44 by DAL. 1 NFL season in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading -2.7 of 20 per season). So far, the league's caution is winning the argument. The 4-tier model has him as a likely starter.

Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Donovan Ezeiruaku at #21 on draft night — a 1st round grade — and DAL took him at No. 44. The model's case leans on broad top-100 board coverage and top-50 board coverage. Bust risk projects at 0%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade. The room had him #32 pre-draft; our board was 11 spots higher.
