Rashaad Penny, RB, San Diego State — Penny is not the fastest back in the world, but he does have some of the best vision in the draft class this year. He is a good one-cut runner who always finds the opening and he has good top-end speed as well, so once he gets into the open field he can break it open. Penny finished with a game-high 64 rushing yards on nine carries and caught a 73-yard touchdown pass from Virginia QB Kurt Benkert. 

Here’s your Hunt/Kamara of this class

I'm hearing less than flattering things about Penny here at FBGs recently.  Some links were posted somewhere regarding his most recent performances / workouts.

There was some negative press on his pass block ability. It will be fun to see where everyone goes. Weak fa market, strong rb class, and 6-8 teams that a rookie could earn the lead role on. While Barkley/guice are firmly at the top for most it will be very interesting how chubb, Michel, penny, and jones get slotted. Let’s at least mention Johnson and freeman as well.

Good year to have a late 1st or early 2nd.

Interesting, I haven’t noticed that gives me a really good reason to go back and watch some football. ;)

My guess is that the draftnik community will eventually slot Jones #3 because he’s likely to have the best Combine numbers of that group. As far as the rest of that group, Penny, Michel, Chubb, Freeman, etc....it’s going to be a matter of preference. Some are going to argue Combine while others prefer landing spots.

Grab the best running backs first then take your highest graded WR and TE later. Just look at the talent that’s available. Obviously depending on your scoring system but the more I look, read and listen it’s grab the top backs, then go for the best available WRs and if you need a TE grab one of the big 3.

Not sure I would classify any of the TEs as big 3.

 
2018 NFL draft: Tight End rankings

Excerpt:

Last year’s draft was loaded at tight end, with three first-round picks and a deep group full of athleticism and mismatch potential.

This year’s class may lack the athletic upside of players like O.J. Howard, Evan Engram and David Njoku, but it still boasts a handful of intriguing prospects who can make an instant impact at the next level.

I haven’t looked at the tight ends at all. Would any go ahead of Howard, Engram and Njoku?

Probably not but there is some talent in this group. A lot seem to be Ertz or Witten like. Solid guys who could have long careers. Many seem to have great hands but maybe not as quick but like them will have to learn to block. One or Two could go late first but I see 3 or 4 by end of the second and a few more by end of the 3rd. Deep group overall. I expect some will end up better than at least one guy from last year for sure over career. 

I rate them

1. Mark Andrews  T1

2. Dallas Goedert T1

3. Mike Giescki T2

4.Tony Fumagalli T2

5.Hayden Hurst T2

6.ian Thomas T3

7. Adam Breneman T3

Not sure what Jaylen Samuels will be

Durham Smythe will be good TE but more blocker who won’t be hugely fantasy relevant
