The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Levi Onwuzurike (age 23.2 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #45 (range #5-#85, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). 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: Jarrad Davis (Bust), Cameron Smith (Bust), Greg Gaines (Starter). Ceiling is L.J. Collier (Starter); floor is Taven Bryan (Contributor). Age 23.2 at draft. Slightly older than the cohort median (~22.5); upside ceiling is trimmed. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #45 sits within 3 spots of the room's #48 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
Draftanomics projects Adetokunbo Ogundeji (age 22.6 at draft) as a mid-round flyer at #168 (range #147-#189, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 3 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: Ben Burr-Kirven (Bust), Cody Barton (Starter), Josh Sweat (Starter). Ceiling is Deion Jones (Starter); floor is B.J. Goodson (Contributor). School SP+ 21.0 (FBS INDEPENDENTS). Strong program among non-Power-5 — the prospect dominated against decent competition. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #112 and the model won't take him before #168 — a 56-spot markdown. The 56-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.
Draftanomics projects Marlon Tuipulotu (age 21.9 at draft) as a Day 3 dart throw at #218 (range #182-#254, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 55% — elevated. The comp set is dangerous: 5 of 5 closest comps with known NFL outcomes washed out as backups or busts. Closest comps: Alex Anzalone (Bust), Isaac Rochell (Bust), Daylon Mack (Bust). Ceiling is Alex Anzalone (Bust); floor is Isaac Rochell (Bust). 5 of 5 closest comps with NFL outcomes washed out: Alex Anzalone, Isaac Rochell, Daylon Mack (+2 more). The neighborhood in feature space is dangerous. The call is a genuine fade: the room's consensus prices him around #96 and the model won't take him before #218 — a 122-spot markdown. The discount is earned — comp group bust rate leads the case against.
