“Value” is market slot minus our slot: positive means the market lets you draft him later than our blend ranks him. Ranks blend our projection model with ADP at backtested weights, the receipts are on methodology.

Trade value: what to ask for EJ

Our board has EJ Smith at RB179, #688 overall in PPR, and the market leaves him undrafted. The market prices him about 112 picks higher than we do, so in a trade ask for more than his slot suggests: a fair return is a player the market ranks near #688, and you are giving up someone our model values as a #688. He projects to 42.4 points (floor -51.0, ceiling 99.6).

RBs in that range on our board right now: Tre Stewart (#686, ARI), Elijah Tau-Tolliver (#687, BAL), Roydell Williams (#688, DET), Adam Randall (#689, BAL), Demond Claiborne (#690, MIN), Max Bredeson (#691, MIN).
