The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects C.J. Prosise (age 21.9 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #48 (range #46-#50, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. School SP+ 22.4 (FBS INDEPENDENTS). Strong program among non-Power-5 — the prospect dominated against decent competition. PPA avg_all 0.252 — per-snap contribution is below-average for the position. Volume stats overstate the impact. The call is a conviction buy: the model has him 33 spots ahead of the room (board #48 vs consensus #81), and at a 0% bust probability the edge is worth paying for.
Draftanomics projects Derrick Henry (age 22.3 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #55 (range #53-#57, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. Career trajectory in rushing yards: 382 → 990 → 2219. Production rose every season — the kind of upward arc that often continues into the league. PPA avg_all 0.213 — per-snap contribution is below-average for the position. Volume stats overstate the impact. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #55 sits within 10 spots of the room's #45 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
Draftanomics projects Ezekiel Elliott (age 20.8 at draft) as a top-10 pick at #4 (range #2-#6, tight projection). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #4 sits within 10 spots of the room's #14 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
