Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Isaiah Coulter

Draftanomics projects Isaiah Coulter (age 21.6 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #123 (range #88-#158, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 57% — elevated. The comp set is mixed: 1 starters-or-better vs 1 backups-or-busts among the 2 comps with known outcomes. Closest comps: Mike Thomas (Contributor), Devin Lucien, Keke Coutee (Contributor). Ceiling is Dezmin Lewis (Starter); floor is Devin Lucien. RAS 4.54 (45th percentile at WR). Athleticism is average at best for the position. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #123 sits within 4 spots of the room's #127 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 57% bust probability break ties on draft day.

Laviska Shenault Jr.

Draftanomics projects Laviska Shenault Jr. (age 21.6 at draft) as a top-10 pick at #9 (range #1-#57, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Christian Kirk (Franchise), Mike Thomas (Contributor), Devin Lucien. Ceiling is Christian Kirk (Franchise); floor is Devin Lucien. RAS 4.64 (46th percentile at WR). Athleticism is average at best for the position. The call is a value lean: #9 against a consensus #37 is a 28-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early, with average-to-below athletic profile the tax on that edge.
