Dynasty-skewed: Hampton will be a Joseph Addai/Donald Brown level player. Henderson will leapfrog his value within a year or two. Also, Henderson has always been better than Judkins regardless of the off-field stuff. The Browns did a Browns. Redraft-skewed: Khalil Shakir has been undervalued...

If Tracy had an identical rookie season, but had been picked in the 1st-2nd round instead of the 5th last season, I think there would be more reluctance to assume that a 4th round rookie RB was going to nudge him aside right away. There's a middle ground between being too reactive and not...

Guy who came out of nowhere (Tracy) vs. guy who was a college media darling (Skattebo). I thought Tracy looked good last season. Skattebo has potential as well, but I'm inclined to think TT might be undervalued right now. A concern for both of them is that this probably isn't going to be a...

It was tough to evaluate TeSlaa because there was limited footage on him, but I had some concerns that he might be a one trick pony deep threat. If the concern is that you only do one thing very well, doing that thing very well in the preseason doesn't actually answer any of the question marks...

If everyone is jumping ship then it's a good time to buy, provided that the price reflects that sentiment. It's very early in his career still and none of his problems are permanent.

I wasn't impressed with Hampton's clips when I took a look at him. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong and I'll own up to it, but I got a Donald Brown vibe. A lot of combine athleticism that doesn't translate into anything too extraordinary on the field. As pedestrian as Najee has looked in the NFL, he's a...

Right. The main argument for taking the younger player isn't that he's worth more because he has more peak years left, but that he might have a higher trajectory since they're regarded as comparable talents despite a 2 year development gap. I'll stand by my initial take that Loveland is the...

I could probably be convinced to put either one at TE1 in this draft, so that sort of thing might be a tiebreaker. With more potential development in the tank, there might be an argument that he has higher latent potential.

If we add the TEs, the buy list is looking like this: RB - TreVeyon Henderson, RJ Harvey, Woody Marks, Tahj Brooks WR - Jayden Higgins, Kyle Williams, Chim Dike, Dont'e Thornton, Jalen Royals TE - Jackson Hawes To reiterate, these are not rankings. A player's absence from this list doesn't...

Let's try to finish what we started. In the 5th-7th round range, we are mostly looking at longshots and career backups. Can anyone surprise? 5th Round TEs: TE Mitchell Evans, Panthers - Big target. Very modest athletic traits. There's potential to get on the field and contribute. Ceiling for...

Working my way through the TEs. Let's start with the high picks. TIGHT ENDS 1st Round TEs: TE Colston Loveland, Bears - Tall, somewhat lean. High level athleticism for the position. Plus speed and quickness. Not ELITE wiggle in space, but looser in his routes than most players this size. Can...

I am now done with all the RBs and WRs. If we are keeping track, the buy list is looking like this so far: RB - TreVeyon Henderson, RJ Harvey, Woody Marks, Tahj Brooks WR - Jayden Higgins, Kyle Williams, Chim Dike, Dont'e Thornton, Jalen Royals There are other names I like some, but this would...

Blasted through the 5th-7th round WRs today. This is pure lottery ticket territory. For the sake of full disclosure, I did not spend as much time-per-player on this group as I did the round 1-4 guys. Knowing the historical odds of this cluster, defaulting to pessimism is entirely logical. I...

He should probably send about 50% of his rookie contract to Mike Evans because it's a copycat league. With London and Evans thriving, we're back in 1995 again. Teams see big/tall/decently mobile and assume it will work out like that. I like McMillan, but top 10 is lofty for a security blanket...

I was able to get through the 4th round WRs tonight. Fun group to evaluate. I was surprised by how much I liked these guys. With that being said, a green designation is all relative. It does not mean you take these players over the elite prospects. Mining for gold in the 4th round, we have to be...
