Pre-draft signals All patterns
How players with the same pre-draft traits have done against their draft slot, 2000–2021 NFL classes. 50% = a typical pick.
| Age at draft 23 | 50.4% n=2,127 | |
| School Power-conference school | 50.3% n=4,181 | |
| Position TE | 37.1% n=321 | |
| Draft slot vs. ESPN pre-draft rank Taken 32+ picks before ESPN's rank | 48.9% n=896 |
Estimate: 35% chance he beats his draft slot (typical pick: 50%). From a simple logistic model on age, school tier and position only; it ranks past picks only modestly better than a coin flip (AUC 0.60), so treat it as a lean, not a forecast. Method
