The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Amon-Ra St. Brown (age 21.5 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #39 (range #1-#89, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is mixed: 1 starters-or-better vs 1 backups-or-busts among the 2 comps with known outcomes. Closest comps: Dillon Mitchell, Christian Kirk (Franchise), Isaiah Ford. Ceiling is Christian Kirk (Franchise); floor is Dillon Mitchell. 1 of 2 closest comps with NFL outcomes ended up backups or busts: Ryan Switzer. Mixed signal from history. The call is a conviction buy: the model has him 35 spots ahead of the room (board #39 vs consensus #74), and at a 0% bust probability the edge is worth paying for.
Draftanomics projects Ja'Marr Chase (age 21.2 at draft) as a top-10 pick at #4 (range #1-#22, moderate band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 4 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: D.J. Moore (Franchise), D.K. Metcalf (Franchise), Courtland Sutton (Franchise). Ceiling is D.J. Moore (Franchise); floor is Antonio Callaway (Contributor). The call is a hold at slot: the model's #4 and the room's #6 land on the same answer — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
Draftanomics projects Terrace Marshall Jr. (age 20.9 at draft) as a Day 2 pick at #59 (range #41-#77, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 4 of 4 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: D.K. Metcalf (Franchise), D.J. Moore (Franchise), Courtland Sutton (Franchise). Ceiling is D.J. Moore (Franchise); floor is Antonio Callaway (Contributor). The call is a lean fade: the model sits 21 spots below the room's consensus #38 — don't pay sticker price. The 21-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.
