Risk and opportunity flags

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

Mack Wilson
Risks
  • Comp group bust rate
    3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Jarrad Davis, Duke Riley, Jordan Evans. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Rashan Gary
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.
  • Comp group bust rate
    3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Jarrad Davis, Haason Reddick, Duke Riley. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.
Jachai Polite
Risks
  • Missed entire rookie season
    Drafted #68 by NYJ in 2019 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.
  • Comp group bust rate
    3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Haason Reddick, Jarrad Davis, Jordan Evans. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous.
Opportunities

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Mack Wilson

Draftanomics projects Mack Wilson (age 21.2 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #43 (range #3-#83, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Raekwon McMillan, Jarrad Davis (Bust), Duke Riley (Bust). Ceiling is Blake Martinez (Starter); floor is Raekwon McMillan. 3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Jarrad Davis, Duke Riley, Jordan Evans. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a value lean: #43 against a consensus #62 is a 19-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, with comp group bust rate the tax on that edge.

Rashan Gary

Draftanomics projects Rashan Gary (age 21.4 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #36 (range #8-#64, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Raekwon McMillan, Jarrad Davis (Bust), Blake Martinez (Starter). Ceiling is Blake Martinez (Starter); floor is Raekwon McMillan. 3 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Jarrad Davis, Haason Reddick, Duke Riley. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #36 sits within 9 spots of the room's #27 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.

Jachai Polite

Draftanomics projects Jachai Polite (age 21.1 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #74 (range #28-#120, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Haason Reddick (Bust), Raekwon McMillan, Blake Martinez (Starter). Ceiling is Blake Martinez (Starter); floor is Raekwon McMillan. Drafted #68 by NYJ in 2019 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 lean fade: the model sits 15 spots below the room's consensus #59 — don't pay sticker price. The discount is earned — missed entire rookie season leads the case against.
