Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Julién Davenport

Draftanomics projects Julién Davenport as a mid-round flyer at #133 (range #112-#154, wide band). Bust probability sits at 67% — scary. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #133 sits within 5 spots of the room's #128 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 67% bust probability break ties on draft day.

Will Holden

Draftanomics projects Will Holden as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #103 (range #43-#163, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 78% — scary. The comp set leans young — most of his closest comps haven't played enough NFL snaps yet to be confidently graded. Closest comps: Jake Rodgers, Denzelle Good, Andrew Donnal. Ceiling is Brandon Scherff; floor is Denzelle Good. The call is a value lean: #103 against a consensus #131 is a 28-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, and the wide band around the 78% bust number says size it modestly.
