The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Solomon Thomas (age 21.7 at draft) as a top-10 pick at #9 (range #1-#26, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 5 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Danielle Hunter (Franchise), Frank Clark (Franchise), Trey Flowers (Franchise). Ceiling is Shane Ray (Franchise); floor is Owamagbe Odighizuwa (Starter). The call is a hold at slot: the model's #9 sits within 3 spots of the room's #6 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
Draftanomics projects Myles Garrett (age 21.3 at draft) as a top-10 pick at #6 (range #1-#23, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 5 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Danielle Hunter (Franchise), Frank Clark (Franchise), Owamagbe Odighizuwa (Starter). Ceiling is Shane Ray (Franchise); floor is Owamagbe Odighizuwa (Starter). The call is a hold at slot: the model's #6 sits within 5 spots of the room's #1 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
Draftanomics projects Takkarist McKinley (age 21.5 at draft) as a first-round pick at #21 (range #1-#75, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Shaquille Riddick, Nate Orchard (Franchise), Za'Darius Smith (Franchise). Ceiling is Leonard Williams (Franchise); floor is Shaquille Riddick. 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 hold at slot: the model's #21 sits within 8 spots of the room's #29 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
