/ LIVE PICK TRACKER
Round 1 AI picks.
Live April 23 8 PM ET.
Every Round 1 pick gets a directional call from public historical data (mock consensus, team-need indices, cap snapshots, money-vs-ticket splits). XGBoost model pending; these are hand-reasoned heuristics until stage 3 ships. Lean, call %, named factor, and hit/miss grade settle as each team turns in its card.
New to draft-night betting vocab? The NuroPicks glossary defines QB-Slide, Top-10 Lock, Day-2 Pick, Draft Futures, Vertical Drop, Monsoon Pick, Workout Warrior, CB5 Consensus, Pick Value Chart, and RAS in plain English.
Preview board. Live mode activates 8 PM ET Thursday.
Lean
Directional call for the selection based on public historical data (mock consensus, need indices, cap room). Not the ticket chalk, not trained-model output.
Call %
Heuristic probability the lean hits. Hand-reasoned from the factors named in the 'Reason' column. Above 60% = high-lean. Sub-50% = field play. XGBoost model pending; see /methodology.
Reason
Named factor driving the call: team-need index (PFF / Fanspeak), cap room snapshot, positional talent cliff, or money-vs-ticket split. Source cited where it is a public stat.
Status
Upcoming, on-clock, hit, or miss. Settles live as each pick drops on April 23.
