Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Jaquiski Tartt

Draftanomics projects Jaquiski Tartt (age 23.2 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #169 (range #152-#186, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. Age 23.2 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 #169 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Derron Smith

Draftanomics projects Derron Smith (age 23.2 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #214 (range #204-#224, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 47% — elevated. Age 23.2 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 #214 stands alone — and with bust risk at 47%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

James Sample

Draftanomics projects James Sample (age 22.8 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #233 (range #223-#243, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 20% — manageable. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #233 stands alone — and with bust risk at 20%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
