“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 Zaire
Our board has Zaire Mitchell-Paden at TE75, #495 overall in PPR, and the market leaves him undrafted. The market prices him about 49 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 #495, and you are giving up someone our model values as a #495. He projects to 87.1 points (floor 9.9, ceiling 122.8).
TEs in that range on our board right now: Ben Yurosek (#484, MIN), Hunter Long (#493, ARI), Nick Kallerup (#494, SEA), Luke Musgrave (#499, GB), Tyler Higbee (#504, LAR), Luke Schoonmaker (#506, DAL).
