Risk and opportunity flags

Top three concerns and top two upside signals from the model.

Brett Hundley
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #147 by GNB in 2015 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have.
  • Not on any consensus board
    Model has him at pick #45 but ZERO public big boards have him on their list. Either we're seeing something nobody else does, or the model is hallucinating.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Marcus Mariota
Risks
  • Not on any consensus board
    Model has him at pick #94 but ZERO public big boards have him on their list. Either we're seeing something nobody else does, or the model is hallucinating.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Trevor Siemian
Risks
  • Older prospect
    Age 23.3 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed.
  • No athletic testing
    No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured.
  • Below-cohort college production
    Position-cohort z-score on production composite is -1.43 — well below the qb average. Raw box-score output didn't keep pace with peers.
Opportunities
  • Breakout production arc
    Career trajectory in passing yards: 256 → 1312 → 2149 → 2214. Production rose every season — the kind of upward arc that often continues into the league.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Brett Hundley

Draftanomics projects Brett Hundley (age 21.9 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #45 (range #43-#47, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. Drafted #147 by GNB in 2015 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #45 stands alone — and with bust risk at 65%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Marcus Mariota

Draftanomics projects Marcus Mariota (age 21.5 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #94 (range #92-#96, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 7% — low. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #94 stands alone — and with bust risk at 7%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Trevor Siemian

Draftanomics projects Trevor Siemian (age 23.3 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #222 (range #220-#224, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 45% — real but not disqualifying. Career trajectory in passing yards: 256 → 1312 → 2149 → 2214. Production rose every season — the kind of upward arc that often continues into the league. Age 23.3 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #222 stands alone — and with bust risk at 45%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
