The story
Cole Spence, the Vanderbilt tight end, put together a real jump in production between the two seasons on file — 10 catches for 101 yards in 2024 up to 15 for 233 in 2025, with his yards per catch climbing from 10.1 to 15.5 — all from a 6-foot-6 frame. Draftanomics's model doesn't return a real grade on him yet: with only production numbers in the file, this comes back as no model grade rather than a fight with the room over his No. 252 internal slot in the 2027 class. The tier read still leans toward an elite outcome (37.5%), ahead of both a starter track (32.2%) and a role-player one (20.7%).

Both of the model's reads put him in Day-3 / priority-free-agent range. If the public boards are higher, the model is the one doing the fading — check the dossier for what it isn't seeing.
