Risk and opportunity flags

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

Deon Simon
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #223 by NYJ in 2015 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have.
  • Older prospect
    Age 24.8 at draft. Players entering the league past 24 hit fewer career milestones — the developmental window is already compressed before they take an NFL snap.
  • 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.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
David Parry
Risks
  • Older prospect
    Age 23.1 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Carl Davis

  • Older prospect
    Age 23.1 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Deon Simon

Draftanomics projects Deon Simon (age 24.8 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #220 (range #203-#237, wide band). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. Drafted #223 by NYJ 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 #220 stands alone — and with bust risk at 65%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

David Parry

Draftanomics projects David Parry (age 23.1 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #108 (range #94-#122, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. Age 23.1 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 #108 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Carl Davis

Draftanomics projects Carl Davis (age 23.1 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #129 (range #115-#143, wide band). Bust probability sits at 47% — elevated. Age 23.1 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 #129 stands alone — and with bust risk at 47%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
