Risk and opportunity flags

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

Jerry Tillery
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.
Opportunities
  • Consensus says higher
    27 boards have him at mean rank #29; model has him #84 — a 55-spot fade. Analysts converging this much above the model is a tell that the model is undervaluing him.
  • Strong comp group
    4 of 5 closest comps with NFL outcomes became Starters or Franchise players: Jonathan Bullard, Sheldon Rankins, Sheldon Day (+1 more). The historical neighborhood overwhelmingly produced NFL contributors.
Dre'Mont Jones
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 has bust risk
    2 of 5 closest comps with NFL outcomes ended up backups or busts: Montravius Adams, Elijah Qualls. Mixed signal from history.
Opportunities
  • Promising comp group
    3 of 5 closest comps with NFL outcomes hit Starter-or-better: Sheldon Day, Jonathan Bullard, Sheldon Rankins.

Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Jerry Tillery

Draftanomics projects Jerry Tillery (age 22.5 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #84 (range #43-#125, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 4 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Jonathan Bullard (Starter), Sheldon Rankins (Starter), Sheldon Day (Starter). Ceiling is Sheldon Rankins (Starter); floor is Sheldon Day (Starter). 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 genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #29 and the model won't take him before #84 — a 55-spot markdown. The 55-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.

Dre'Mont Jones

Draftanomics projects Dre'Mont Jones (age 22.3 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #42 (range #1-#86, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 3 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Sheldon Day (Starter), Jonathan Bullard (Starter), Montravius Adams (Bust). Ceiling is Sheldon Rankins (Starter); floor is Sheldon Day (Starter). 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 #42 sits within 11 spots of the room's #53 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
