The gap

  • Board size330 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jordan Watkins, and the board ranks him 163rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

Our board does not carry Isaiah Williams at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.
