The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Joe Jackson (age 22.3 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #149 (range #124-#174, wide band). Bust probability sits at 45% — real but not disqualifying. The comp set is dangerous: 3 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Jihad Ward (Starter), Tanoh Kpassagnon (Bust), Tarell Basham (Bust). Ceiling is Jihad Ward (Starter); floor is Dean Lowry (Starter). 3 of 5 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Tanoh Kpassagnon, Tarell Basham, Takkarist McKinley. The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #81 and the model won't take him before #149 — a 68-spot markdown. The discount is earned — comp group bust rate leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects Oshane Ximines (age 22.4 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #91 (range #31-#151, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is dangerous: 4 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Tarell Basham (Bust), Dawuane Smoot (Bust), Takkarist McKinley (Bust). Ceiling is Jonathan Woodard; floor is Pat O'Connor (Bust). 4 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Tarell Basham, Dawuane Smoot, Takkarist McKinley (+1 more). The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #91 sits within 5 spots of the room's #86 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
