The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Montravius Adams (age 21.8 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #157 (range #114-#200, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 7% — low. The comp set is strong: 5 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Michael Bennett (Starter), Gabe Wright (Franchise), Angelo Blackson (Starter). Ceiling is Danny Shelton (Franchise); floor is Michael Bennett (Starter). The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #76 and the model won't take him before #157 — a 81-spot markdown. The 81-spot markdown rests on thin verified signal rather than a named flaw — the model hasn't seen enough yet to match the room's conviction.
Draftanomics projects Caleb Brantley (age 22.6 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #79 (range #36-#122, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 48% — elevated. The comp set is strong: 5 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Gabe Wright (Franchise), Danny Shelton (Franchise), Michael Bennett (Starter). Ceiling is Danny Shelton (Franchise); floor is Michael Bennett (Starter). The call is a lean fade: the model sits 16 spots below the room's consensus #63 — don't pay sticker price. A 48% bust probability backs the 16-spot markdown.
