Verdict

The model's plain-English read.

Jalen Mayfield

Draftanomics projects Jalen Mayfield as a Day 2 pick at #49 (range #11-#87, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set leans young — most of his closest comps haven't played enough NFL snaps yet to be confidently graded. Closest comps: Greg Little (Contributor), Sebastian Tretola, Geron Christian (Contributor). Ceiling is Greg Little (Contributor); floor is Sebastian Tretola. RAS 3.93 (39th percentile at OL). Athleticism is average at best for the position. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #49 sits within 7 spots of the room's #56 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.

Tutu Atwell

Draftanomics projects Tutu Atwell (age 21.6 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #144 (range #110-#178, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set leans young — most of his closest comps haven't played enough NFL snaps yet to be confidently graded. Closest comps: Pharoh Cooper (Contributor), Mike Thomas (Contributor), Ryan Switzer (Bust). Ceiling is Pharoh Cooper (Contributor); floor is Dillon Mitchell. RAS 4.24 (42th percentile at WR). Athleticism is average at best for the position. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #73 and the model won't take him before #144 — a 71-spot markdown. The discount is earned — average-to-below athletic profile leads the case against.

Ronnie Perkins

Draftanomics projects Ronnie Perkins (age 21.6 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #111 (range #75-#147, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 45% — real but not disqualifying. The comp set is strong: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Charles Omenihu (Contributor), Anthony Nelson (Starter), Shareef Miller (Bust). Ceiling is Nick Bosa (Starter); floor is Charles Omenihu (Contributor). RAS 3.42 (34th percentile at EDGE). Athleticism is average at best for the position. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #68 and the model won't take him before #111 — a 43-spot markdown. The discount is earned — average-to-below athletic profile leads the case against.
