Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Justin Jefferson

Draftanomics projects Justin Jefferson (age 20.9 at draft) as a first-round pick at #26 (range #5-#47, wide band). Bust probability sits at 1% — low. The comp set is strong: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: James Washington (Contributor), Corey Coleman (Starter), Corey Davis (Bust). Ceiling is Corey Coleman (Starter); floor is James Washington (Contributor). The call is a hold at slot: the model's #26 sits within 4 spots of the room's #22 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 1% bust probability break ties on draft day.

CeeDee Lamb

Draftanomics projects CeeDee Lamb (age 21.0 at draft) as a top-10 pick at #2 (range #1-#22, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is mixed: 2 starters-or-better vs 2 backups-or-busts among the 4 comps with known outcomes. Closest comps: James Washington (Contributor), Corey Davis (Bust), Tre'Quan Smith (Starter). Ceiling is Laquon Treadwell (Starter); floor is James Washington (Contributor). 2 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes ended up backups or busts: Corey Davis, JuJu Smith-Schuster. Mixed signal from history. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #2 sits within 6 spots of the room's #8 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.

Tyler Johnson

Draftanomics projects Tyler Johnson (age 21.7 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #86 (range #50-#122, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 4% — low. The comp set is strong: 2 of 2 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Tre'Quan Smith (Starter), James Washington (Contributor), Keke Coutee (Contributor). Ceiling is DJ Chark (Starter); floor is Cedrick Wilson Jr. (Contributor). The call is a hold at slot: the model's #86 and the room's #86 land on the same answer — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 4% bust probability break ties on draft day.
