The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Arden Key (age 22.0 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #70 (range #56-#84, wide band). 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: Kamalei Correa (Contributor), Carl Nassib (Starter), Shaq Lawson (Starter). Ceiling is Joey Bosa (Starter); floor is Kamalei Correa (Contributor). The call is a hold at slot: the model's #70 sits within 10 spots of the room's #60 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
Draftanomics projects Duke Ejiofor (age 23.0 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #104 (range #79-#129, wide band). 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: Carl Nassib (Starter), Kamalei Correa (Contributor), Jihad Ward (Starter). Ceiling is Nate Orchard (Franchise); floor is Kamalei Correa (Contributor). Age 23.0 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed. The call is a lean fade: the model sits 19 spots below the room's consensus #85 — don't pay sticker price. The discount is earned — older prospect leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects Bradley Chubb (age 21.8 at draft) as a top-10 pick at #5 (range #1-#14, moderate band). 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: Jihad Ward (Starter), Emmanuel Ogbah (Starter), Kamalei Correa (Contributor). Ceiling is Emmanuel Ogbah (Starter); floor is Kamalei Correa (Contributor). 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 #5 and the room's #3 land on the same answer — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
