The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Kendall Fuller (age 21.2 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #106 (range #96-#116, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 6% — low. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #56 and the model won't take him before #106 — a 50-spot markdown. The 50-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 Eli Apple (age 20.7 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #83 (range #73-#93, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #33 and the model won't take him before #83 — a 50-spot markdown. The 50-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 Zack Sanchez (age 21.1 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #178 (range #171-#185, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 30% — real but not disqualifying. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #90 and the model won't take him before #178 — a 88-spot markdown. The 88-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.
