Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Danny Shelton

Draftanomics projects Danny Shelton (age 21.7 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #133 (range #123-#143, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #133 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Angelo Blackson

Draftanomics projects Angelo Blackson (age 22.4 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #93 (range #83-#103, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #93 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Darius Philon

Draftanomics projects Darius Philon (age 21.2 at draft) as a top-10 pick at #4 (range #1-#18, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #4 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
