The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Josh Ball as a Day 3 dart throw at #233 (range #206-#260, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 78% — scary. The comp set is strong: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Adam Bisnowaty, Brian Allen (Bust), Le'Raven Clark. Ceiling is Mason Cole (Franchise); floor is Adam Bisnowaty. School SP+ 9.5 (SUN BELT). Strong program among non-Power-5 — the prospect dominated against decent competition. Drafted #138 by DAL in 2021 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 genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #134 and the model won't take him before #233 — a 99-spot markdown. The discount is earned — missed entire rookie season leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects Stone Forsythe as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #104 (range #83-#125, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 3 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Pat Elflein, Michael Deiter (Starter), Michael Jordan (Starter). Ceiling is Ben Powers (Franchise); floor is Pat Elflein. The call is a value lean: #104 against a consensus #116 is a 12-spot edge — enough to move him up the queue, not enough to reach a round early.
Draftanomics projects Trey Hill as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #79 (range #34-#124, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 65% — scary. The comp set leans young — most of his closest comps haven't played enough NFL snaps yet to be confidently graded. Closest comps: Geron Christian (Contributor), Sebastian Tretola, Pat Elflein. Ceiling is David Edwards (Franchise); floor is Will Clapp (Contributor). RAS 4.15 (41th percentile at OL). Athleticism is average at best for the position. The call is a value lean: #79 against a consensus #105 is a 26-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.
