The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Marcus Hardison (age 23.2 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #183 (range #162-#204, wide band). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. Drafted #135 by CIN 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 #183 stands alone — and with bust risk at 65%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects Brian Mihalik (age 22.7 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #110 (range #89-#131, wide band). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. Drafted #237 by PHI 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 #110 stands alone — and with bust risk at 65%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
Draftanomics projects Za'Darius Smith (age 22.6 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #42 (range #28-#56, wide band). Bust probability sits at 4% — low. The call is a hold: no public board ranks him, so the model's #42 stands alone — and with bust risk at 4%, let the room catch up before paying a premium.
