The model's plain-English read.
Draftanomics projects David Bell (age 21.4 at draft) as a third-round / early Day 3 pick at #97 (range #63-#131, 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: Isaiah Coulter (Bust), JuJu Smith-Schuster (Bust), Tee Higgins (Franchise). Ceiling is Tee Higgins (Franchise); floor is JJ Arcega-Whiteside (Contributor). RAS 2.56 (25th percentile vs WR prospects in a 512-yr Combine population). Below the 30th-percentile bar that most NFL starters clear. The call is a lean fade: the model sits 22 spots below the room's consensus #75 — don't pay sticker price. The discount is earned — athletic profile below nfl threshold leads the case against.
Draftanomics projects Treylon Burks (age 22.1 at draft) as a first-round pick at #14 (range #1-#60, very wide band — too little on him yet to project tightly). Bust probability sits at 0% — low. The comp set is strong: 2 of 3 closest comps with known NFL outcomes became starters or better. Closest comps: JJ Arcega-Whiteside (Contributor), Marquise Brown (Starter), Jerry Jeudy (Starter). Ceiling is Jerry Jeudy (Starter); floor is James Washington (Contributor). Career trajectory in receiving yards: 475 → 820 → 1104. Production rose every season — the kind of upward arc that often continues into the league. RAS 3.99 (39th percentile at WR). Athleticism is average at best for the position. The call is a hold at slot: the model's #14 sits within 9 spots of the room's #23 — no market edge to chase, so take him where he sits, and let the 0% bust probability break ties on draft day.
