On the live board, bust risk sits at 10% and the realistic range is No. 35 to No. 221.
Devin McCuin turned a two-year climb in target volume into one of the more attention-grabbing box scores in this range — 45 catches for 424 yards and five touchdowns in 2024, then 65 for 726 yards and eight scores in 2025 — before taking that résumé from UTSA to Ohio State this offseason. The model isn't matching the market's enthusiasm here: it has him 62nd overall against a public board sitting at 19, a case where the model sits well below the room's number.

Draftanomics ranks Devin McCuin at #62 overall — a Day 2 grade. The model's case leans on his age curve. Bust risk projects at 10%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade. Public consensus has him #19; Draftanomics's board is 43 spots lower — the model sees a gap the room doesn't.
Written from the live model's numbers — projected to round 2, and it updates whenever the model does. See methodology for what drives the take.
Read the two ends and skim the middle: the model has a real track record telling stars and bustsapart, but “solid starter vs. rotation guy” is close to a coin flip from public data — that's why those two bars are grayed. For his odds of outright busting, the Bust-risk panel next door is the number to trust.
The bracketed ranges show how far each number could reasonably move — they come from how 23–57 similar players in past drafts actually turned out.

The grade is the 0-to-1 score the board sorts by — it only means something next to the rest of this class, which is why the rank above it is the number to quote.
