Kitman Labs Artificial Intelligence Platform Breaks Down Sleepers FOR NFL Draft
The Californer/10277958

MENLO PARK, Calif. - Californer -- Kitman Labs, the global enterprise SaaS platform providing the only single, centralized operating system today revealed its first-ever sleeper predictions for the NFL Draft, being held the next three days in Detroit Michigan.

For the 2024 NFL Draft, Kitman Labs  used their Artificial Intelligence models on NCAA and NFL datasets from 2010 to present to identify players that they think will be successful in the NFL.

Five sleeper picks:.
Bo Nix - Oregon – QB
NFL Draft Projection: 5th QB Selected
Kitman AI Projection: 73% chance of NFL Success - 1st QB
Looking like coming in at a 2nd round pick, Bo Nix ranks as the most likely Quarterback to be successful in this year's NFL draft. Looking at his college stats it is easy to see why the model has this belief.

Joe Milton III - Tennessee – QB
NFL Draft Projection: 10th QB Selected
Kitman AI Projection: 31% chance of NFL Success - 3rd QB
Something that is apparent when investigating what our model values in a successful NFL QB, is that it believes that a Quarterback must possess either absolute elite arm talent, or have the explosive rushing ability to make splashy plays.

Kendall Milton - Georgia – RB
NFL Draft Projection: 17th Drafted RB
Kitman AI Projection: 12% chance of NFL Success - 4th RB
The Kitman Labs AI model shows that an ability to get into the end zone in college is the number one indicator of future NFL success, far more so than yards, efficiency, or speed.

Malik Washington - Virginia – WR
NFL Draft Projection: 21st Drafted WR
Kitman AI Projection: 42% chance of NFL Success - 3rd WR
In a stacked 2024 WR draft class - our model rates this is by far the best class of the last decade and a half - it's not surprising that some top tier talent is going to go in later draft rounds. However, our AI model surprisingly projects Malik Washington as being one of the top prospects in this year's class.

Tahj Washington - USC – WR
NFL Draft Projection: 29th Drafted WR
Kitman AI Projection: 22% chance of NFL success - 15th WR
Tahj Washington is a curious case for our AI model. Not having participated in the 20-yard shuttle, the 3 cone drill, or the 40-yard dash at the combine, there are a lot of unknowns about this player. However, given his receiving yards, and his strong showing in both the broad jump and vertical leap, the model has inferred that he would have competed well, particularly in the 20-yard shuttle.
