The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Rasul Douglas (age 22.7 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #72 (range #20-#124, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Marcus Peters (Franchise), Steven Nelson (Starter), Ryan Murphy (Bust). Ceiling is Marcus Peters (Franchise); floor is Steven Nelson (Starter). 40-yard dash of 4.59s — historically corners above 4.55s rarely become NFL starters. The call is a value lean: #72 against a consensus #88 is a 16-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, with cb slow 40 (4.59s) the tax on that edge.
Draftanomics projects Corn Elder (age 22.5 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #81 (range #27-#135, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. The comp set is strong: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Quandre Diggs (Franchise), Tevin Mitchel, Marcus Peters (Franchise). Ceiling is Marcus Peters (Franchise); floor is Tevin Mitchel. Drafted #152 by CAR in 2017 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 value lean: #81 against a consensus #98 is a 17-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, with missed entire rookie season the tax on that edge.
Draftanomics projects Teez Tabor (age 21.3 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #87 (range #27-#147, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 40% — real but not disqualifying. The comp set is strong: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Senquez Golson, Steven Nelson (Starter), Marcus Peters (Franchise). Ceiling is Marcus Peters (Franchise); floor is Ifo Ekpre-Olomu. 40-yard dash of 4.62s — historically corners above 4.55s rarely become NFL starters. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #47 and the model won't take him before #87 — a 40-spot markdown. The discount is earned — cb slow 40 (4.62s) leads the case against.
