Diagnosis

Lewis's drafting profile

Value = useful started points the pick gave the team that drafted him. Expected = what that pick slot has historically returned in this league.

How Lewis gets better

The film room

The Ja'Marr Chase read
Taken at pick 5 in 2024, he returned +102.8 over what that slot usually gives you. Trust the board when it screams.
QB is your money position
2 QB picks returned 2.61× what their draft cost predicts. Keep buying there.
RB is your blind spot
4 RB picks returned 49% of the production their slots predict. Spend less capital there or buy it later.
Late-round sniper
Rounds 10+ returned +1 over expectation. The dart throws are landing.
Isiah Pacheco still hurts
Pick 20 in 2024 came in −50.0 under the slot.
