Risk and opportunity flags

Top three concerns and top two upside signals from the model.

David Moore
Risks
  • No athletic testing
    No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured.
  • Consensus skeptic
    1 board place him at mean rank #505; model has him #151 — a 354-spot gap. When boards fade a player this hard, the model is usually the one missing something.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
DeAngelo Yancey
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #175 by GNB in 2017 but recorded ZERO regular-season NFL snaps. Year-1 absence is one of the strongest single-signal bust predictors we have.
  • No athletic testing
    No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured.
  • Small-school competition
    School SP+ rating -11.0 (well below FBS median of 0). College production may not translate against NFL-quality DBs/pass-rushers. Schedule rank #61 (1=hardest).
Opportunities
  • Consensus says higher
    1 board have him at mean rank #194; model has him #235 — a 41-spot fade. Analysts converging this much above the model is a tell that the model is undervaluing him.
  • Strong comp group
    3 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes became Starters or Franchise players: Dezmin Lewis, JJ Nelson, Jaelen Strong. The historical neighborhood overwhelmingly produced NFL contributors.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

David Moore

Draftanomics projects David Moore (age 22.3 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #151 (range #141-#161, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. 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 conviction buy: the model has him 354 spots ahead of the room (board #151 vs consensus #505), and at a 0% bust probability the edge is worth paying for.

DeAngelo Yancey

Draftanomics projects DeAngelo Yancey (age 22.4 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #235 (range #192-#278, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 66% — scary. The comp set is strong: 3 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Dezmin Lewis (Starter), JJ Nelson (Franchise), Jaelen Strong (Franchise). Ceiling is Jaelen Strong (Franchise); floor is Tre McBride (Contributor). Drafted #175 by GNB 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 genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #194 and the model won't take him before #235 — a 41-spot markdown. The discount is earned — missed entire rookie season leads the case against.
