Risk and opportunity flags

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

P.J. Williams
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #78 by NOR in 2015 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have.
  • CB slow 40 (4.57s)
    40-yard dash of 4.57s — historically corners above 4.55s rarely become NFL starters.
  • Not on any consensus board
    Model has him at pick #33 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.
Alex Carter
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #80 by DET in 2015 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

P.J. Williams

Draftanomics projects P.J. Williams (age 21.9 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #33 (range #19-#47, wide band). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. Drafted #78 by NOR 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 #33 stands alone — and with bust risk at 65%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Alex Carter

Draftanomics projects Alex Carter (age 20.5 at draft) as a first-round pick at #22 (range #8-#36, wide band). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. Drafted #80 by DET 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 #22 stands alone — and with bust risk at 65%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Trae Waynes

Draftanomics projects Trae Waynes (age 22.8 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #105 (range #95-#115, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #105 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
