The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects Trey Lance (age 21.0 at draft) as a first-round pick at #16 (range #2-#30, wide band). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #16 sits within 3 spots of the room's #13 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
Draftanomics projects Trevor Lawrence (age 21.6 at draft) as a top-10 pick at #2 (range #1-#12, tight projection). 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: Sam Darnold (Franchise), Drew Lock (Contributor), Mitchell Trubisky (Bust). Ceiling is Sam Darnold (Franchise); floor is Drew Lock (Contributor). 2 of 4 closest comps with NFL outcomes ended up backups or busts: Mitchell Trubisky, Deshaun Watson. Mixed signal from history. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #2 and the room's #1 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.
