Risk and opportunity flags

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

James O'Shaughnessy
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.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
A.J. Derby
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #202 by NWE 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 23.6 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.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

James O'Shaughnessy

Draftanomics projects James O'Shaughnessy (age 23.3 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #188 (range #167-#209, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. 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 #188 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

A.J. Derby

Draftanomics projects A.J. Derby (age 23.6 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #52 (range #35-#69, wide band). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. Drafted #202 by NWE 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 #52 stands alone — and with bust risk at 65%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

MyCole Pruitt

Draftanomics projects MyCole Pruitt (age 23.1 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #235 (range #233-#237, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 6% — 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 #235 stands alone — and with bust risk at 6%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
