    2 of 3 closest comps with NFL outcomes hit Starter-or-better: Ryan Russell, Nate Orchard.
Deatrich Wise Jr.
Risks
No major risks flagged.
Opportunities

    4 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes became Starters or Franchise players: Frank Clark, Trey Flowers, Nate Orchard (+1 more). The historical neighborhood overwhelmingly produced NFL contributors.
Dawuane Smoot
Risks
  • Small-school competition
    School SP+ rating -6.7 (well below FBS median of 0). College production may not translate against NFL-quality DBs/pass-rushers. Schedule rank #42 (1=hardest).
Opportunities

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Tanoh Kpassagnon

Draftanomics projects Tanoh Kpassagnon (age 22.9 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #71 (range #31-#111, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 14% — low. The comp set is strong: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Brian Mihalik (Bust), Marcus Hardison, Ryan Russell (Franchise). Ceiling is Nate Orchard (Franchise); floor is Shaquille Riddick. The call is a value lean: #71 against a consensus #83 is a 12-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, and the wide band around the 14% bust number says size it modestly.

Deatrich Wise Jr.

Draftanomics projects Deatrich Wise Jr. (age 22.8 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #89 (range #58-#120, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 4 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Frank Clark (Franchise), Shaquille Riddick, Trey Flowers (Franchise). Ceiling is Shane Ray (Franchise); floor is Shaquille Riddick. The call is a value lean: #89 against a consensus #107 is a 18-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early.

Dawuane Smoot

Draftanomics projects Dawuane Smoot (age 22.1 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #109 (range #67-#151, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Preston Smith (Franchise), Brian Mihalik (Bust), Ryan Russell (Franchise). Ceiling is Preston Smith (Franchise); floor is Shaquille Riddick. School SP+ rating -6.7 (well below FBS median of 0). College production may not translate against NFL-quality DBs/pass-rushers. Schedule rank #42 (1=hardest). The call is a lean fade: the model sits 19 spots below the room's consensus #90 — don't pay sticker price. The discount is earned — small-school competition leads the case against.
