The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects C.J. Uzomah (age 22.3 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #160 (range #158-#162, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 6% — low. No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #160 stands alone — and with bust risk at 6%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects Jeff Heuerman (age 22.4 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #239 (range #237-#241, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. Drafted #92 by DEN 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 #239 stands alone — and with bust risk at 65%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
