The call

The model takes Chris Olave: a clear but modest edge of 14.3 points of value over replacement (42.4 vs 28.1).

The room sees it the other way: drafters take Rashee Rice first (ADP 14.9 vs 19.8). If the model is right, Chris Olave is the value pick, since the later cost buys the better 2026 projection.
