The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Fahn Cooper as a Day 3 dart throw at #180 (range #173-#187, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 5% — low. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #120 and the model won't take him before #180 — a 60-spot markdown. The 60-spot markdown rests on thin verified signal rather than a named flaw — the model hasn't seen enough yet to match the room's conviction.
Draftanomics projects Alex Lewis as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #75 (range #68-#82, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 1% — low. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #75 and the room's #74 land on the same answer — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 1% bust probability break ties on draft day.
Draftanomics projects Willie Beavers as a mid-round flyer at #135 (range #125-#145, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 16% — manageable. 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 lean fade: the model sits 25 spots below the room's consensus #110 — don't pay sticker price. The 25-spot markdown rests on thin verified signal rather than a named flaw — the model hasn't seen enough yet to match the room's conviction.
