Risk and opportunity flags

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

Marcus Peters
Risks
  • Not on any consensus board
    Model has him at pick #80 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.
Steven Nelson
Risks
  • Not on any consensus board
    Model has him at pick #38 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.
Ryan Murphy
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #248 by SEA in 2015 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have.
  • 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.
  • Not on any consensus board
    Model has him at pick #92 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.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Marcus Peters

Draftanomics projects Marcus Peters (age 22.3 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #80 (range #70-#90, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #80 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Steven Nelson

Draftanomics projects Steven Nelson (age 22.2 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #38 (range #24-#52, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #38 stands alone — and with bust risk at 0%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.

Ryan Murphy

Draftanomics projects Ryan Murphy (age 22.5 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #92 (range #78-#106, wide band). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. Drafted #248 by SEA 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 #92 stands alone — and with bust risk at 65%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
