[Dynasty] 2019 NFL Draft Class (2 Viewers)

Number 1 is insane. Guice is a better prospect than Jacobs who was practically unheard of until the season ended.

Yet Jacobs is projected to go in the 1st round of the draft while Guice almost fell to the 3rd and saw teams trading up in front of each other to avoid getting stuck with him.  That's not to mention the potential complications around his injury.

I disagree that Chubb and Michel were better prospects than Jacobs at this point last year. And I think that's what hes referring to

Chubb was a very polarizing player where some had him rb2 and others much lower. Jacobs may be just as polarizing for different reasons but there are numerous mocks with him round 1.

Hes a poor rb in a poor rb class..this nfl draft is loaded with defensive talent.......mocks are generally worthless...

Not for me and I'd still take Jacobs over him. Today.

I posted the bolded yesterday but no one paid any attention to it and really you should so I'll post it again.

I asked Dane Brugler a question on his chat in the Athletic and I asked about Jacobs and Metcalf specifically because I know those are his top rated WR and RB.  I asked him how he'd rank those two players if they were in last years class and how he'd rank them vs draft eligible players in 2020 draft because. I enjoy those comparing classes to get an idea of strength at top of draft so if anyone else cares I thought I'd post his answers below.

 1. Jacobs would be No. 2, behind only Saquon Barkley. Metcalf would be No. 3 behind Ridley and Moore.

2. I haven't scouted the 2020 class enough to really know, but several of the 2020 WR prospects have caught my eye. Jerry Jeudy looks like a stud, Colorado WR is fun. Tee Higgins at Clemson. CeeDee Lamb. I won't be surprised if these guys have a higher grade than Metcalf.

Jacobs is polarizing because he is a nobody, with no real body of work. He was behind both Harris'. Why?

I actually paid attention to it. And replied to it.

I already go Brown > Harry so.... do I do it even more?

yeah I'm toying with that too. I traded 1.1 and 1.2, so I hold 1.3. I am fairy confident GB drafts a WR early so I think it could be Brown... If that happens hes my WR1 without a doubt

NFL Draft Bible's Ric Serritella passes along that Rutgers RB Jonathan Hilliman ran the 40-yard dash at 4.43 and 4.49 seconds during his Friday pro day.

Serritella additionally posted to Twitter that the 5-foot-11, 216-pound Hilliman logged a vertical jump of 34.5 inches and a broad jump of 120 inches with a short shuttle of 4.27 seconds. Nothing world-shaking, here, but respectable enough. Hilliman will likely have to make his way as an undrafted free agent later this spring, as there's nothing particularly special in his athletic profile to warrant much immediate NFL interest.

The Draft Bible's Ric Serritella passes along that Rutgers TE Jerome Washington ran the 40-yard dash in 4.75 and 4.79 seconds at his pro day on Friday.

Washington (6'2/241) additionally turned in jumps of 30 inches (vertical) and 116 inches (broad) while running the 20-yard shuttle in 4.50 seconds. None of these marks are particularly remarkable and coupled with the former Miami tight end's deficiencies as a blocker -- NFL Media's Lance Zierlein views him as "dreadful" in that department -- and a general lack of production (and granted, difficult to produce at Rutgers as a receiver), it might be an uphill climb to make an NFL roster. Washington does have nice hands, at least.

The Athletic's Dane Brugler has 15 wide receivers inside his top-100.

This wide receiver class is pretty strong, especially when looking at its depth. In fact, the position group tied edge rushers for the most players represented inside of Brugler's top-100. The difference between wide receiver and EDGE is the high-end talent, with multiple edge rushers inside the top-10 and only D.K. Metcalf flirting with a top-15 selection at receiver. Expect a wide receiver run to begin in the second round.

Bleacher Report's Matt Miller reports that "there is legitimate buzz for [Northwestern QB Clayton Thorson] around the league."

Thorson didn't participate in the Reese's Senior Bowl due to injury, but "buzz" is building behind the scenes. When Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy polled 10 NFL GMs, none of them gave Thorson below a third-round pick, but that was back in January, so things can certainly change. In 2016, Thorson threw 22 touchdowns to nine interceptions, but he regressed in back-to-back seasons since.

The Athletic's Dane Brugler has four quarterbacks inside his top 100.

The quarterback group is tied with center as the second-least represented positional group inside his top 100, only behind guard. The narrative of this quarterback class being tragically bad is overstated, but it's arguably a below average class since the top two are one-year starters and the next group of quarterbacks all leave plenty to be desired. Drew Lock and Daniel Jones appear to be the next two behind Dwayne Haskins and Kyler Murray, but Will Grier, Jarrett Stidham, Ryan Finley, Tyree Jackson, Clayton Thorson, and others are in the mix as Day 2 quarterbacks.

West Virginia QB Will Grier reminds NFL Film's Greg Cosell of Andy Dalton.

Cosell believes decision making and ball velocity are the two biggest concerns for Grier (6'2/217), but his overall draft grade really depends on the evaluator. Some will tank his grade because of a lack of velocity on deep throws, while others won't view it as a major problem. What makes this evaluation even more blurry is Grier's Combine results since he recorded the fastest ball-speed among invitees. Advanced analytics also show that Grier has above average accuracy, so there is some debate over his value between analytics and scouting communities.

NFL Film's Greg Cosell believes "the talent level is not good enough" for NC State QB Ryan Finley.

Cosell didn't see enough traits, specifically arm strength, to warrant a high selection. The film analyst says a player with his athleticism and arm talent has to have high-end ball placement to make it in the NFL, but Finley didn't show that on tape. However, Finley did show above average accuracy according to advanced metrics. FiveThirtyEight's Josh Hermsmeyer showed that Finley had a higher completion percentage than expected when adjusting for the distance of throws.

NFL Film's Greg Cosell compared North Dakota State QB Easton Stick to a smaller-version of Alex Smith.

Stick has a "compact delivery" and can be a fun player to watch because of his sneaky athleticism (4.62-second 40-yard dash). Cosell believes that the NFL will view Stick as a Day 3 prospect, but he remains bullish on Stick's abilities overall. In fact, Cosell believes Stick could eventually become a starter with the proper development.

Pro Football Focus credits Washington TE Drew Sample as the best blocking tight end in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Sample (6'5/255) narrowly edges out Dawson Knox, Isaac Nauta, Hale Hentges, and T.J. Hockenson for the top spot, and it's certainly Sample's best trait. NFL Media's Lance Zierlein recently compared Sample to Jack Doyle, who is a limited receiver but has managed to stick around the NFL for a few seasons, in part to his blocking ability. After a forgettable NFL Scouting Combine, Sample is viewed as a Day 3 prospect, who could turn into a team's TE2.
