[Dynasty] 2019 NFL Draft Class (1 Viewer)

There's a lot of ifs and buts for it to be so, sure. But if the top 2-3 RBs go to major RBBC situations it's not hard to conceive.

We could play if's and but's game and assign consensus top 4-5 WR's to Ravens, Bills and Titans and play the same game.

I agree WR is a little stronger then RB this year but I don't think the gap exists as you and Dr Dan believe. I'm not high on either of the groups myself.

Well as long as you've got all your bases covered.

 
Who knows anything about Dawson Knox?  I saw Jim Nagy's tweet about it then came in here to ask and Faust is way ahead of the game posting about that.  I know literally nothing about him except for quick google searches.  

 
An NFL scout said that Ole Miss TE Dawson Knox has "dog qualities to him."

The scout mentions the lack of targets, but, like everyone, shrugs it off citing the other mouths to feed. Knox (6'4/254) shows "effort in the run game" but NFL teams will certainly try to get more out of him as a receiver. The Ole Miss tight end didn't stand out at the NFL Scouting Combine and remains in the Tier 2 mix of the 2019 NFL Draft class.

ESPN's Steve Muench lists Ole Miss TE Dawson Knox as one of the most intriguing prospects taking part in the NFL Scouting Combine.

Knox (6'4/257) is the definition of potential outweighing production. The fact that he has a chance to be a Day 2 pick despite catching just 15 passes last year is evidence of that. "Listed at 6-4 and 257 pounds, he's expected to run well," Muench writes. "If he's 255 pounds, jumps well and runs in the mid-to-low 4.6-second range in the 40, look for a team to take a chance on that potential." As Muench also points out, however, this is a very deep draft class, so taking him in that range would mean (likely) passing on a productive player who didn't test quite as well.

Ole Miss TE Dawson Knox is Bleacher Report's Matt Miller's No. 4 tight end in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Miller calls Knox (6'4/257) "the real deal" and shares the same opinion as most draft analysts -- Knox simply wasn't used enough in Mississippi's offense. Some of that falls on quarterback Jordan Ta'amu, but Knox was also splitting targets with three NFL-caliber receivers. As a junior, Knox averaged an impressive 10.5 yards per target, which was 1.5 yards better than his talented teammates, so he has an impressive receiving background if you look past his low receiving totals. Knox is also expected to test well at the NFL Combine after appearing on Bruce Feldman's "Freaks" list last summer.

The Draft Network's Jon Ledyard grades Ole Miss TE Dawson Knox fourth among tight ends in the 2019 NFL Draft class.

There is a specific "big three" of tight ends that constantly comes up in rankings, and Ledyard is among the many to have T.J. Hockenson, Noah Fant and Irv Smith Jr. -- in that order -- in those positions. The fourth spot has been much more debated, and for Ledyard, it's Knox. As he notes, Knox's NFL status is based on "what he can be," because of his impressive athleticism and frame (6'4/257). As Ledyard perfectly summarizes: "Knox is the ultimate test of traits vs. production at the position."

The Draft Network's Trevor Sikkema projects Ole Miss TE Dawson Knox to be selected by the New Orleans Saints in the second round with pick No. 62 in his latest Mock Draft.

Sikkema believes Knox (6'4/257) "was very underutilized during his time at Ole Miss, but the talent is evident when you watch the tape." He's referring to Knox's underwhelming 284 yards on 15 receptions from the 2018 season. With Drew Brees aging and the Saints lacking a real tight end talent since Jimmy Graham's departure, they could look to snag a tight end with their first pick. Knox's lack of production makes him a boom/bust prospect that could potentially be a draft-day steal if you believe the traits on film can translate to the next level.

The Dallas Cowboys are hosting wide receiver prospects Mecole Hardman, Deebo Samuel, and Emanuel Hall for pre-draft visits.

The Cowboys are lacking depth behind Amari Cooper and they don't have the cap space to make improvements via free agency, so expect a receiver or two to be called during draft weekend. All three of these receivers are athletic, but they fill different roles. Hall is considered one of the better deep threats in the draft while Samuel does most of his damage underneath to utilize his after the catch abilities. Hardman (5'10/187) is more of a projection as he's still learning the position, but he's a worthwhile mid-to-late round pick because of his returning ability and 4.33 speed.

Utah State RB Darwin Thompson recorded a 39-inch vertical at his pro day.

Thompson (5'8/190) is as explosive as they come. In addition to his high-end vertical, Thompson shined in the broad jump (126 inches), on the bench press (28 reps), and in the forty (4.47 seconds). Most draft analysts were surprised to see Thompson kept out of the NFL Scouting Combine, but he is expected to be one of the couple dozen prospects to be drafted despite being a combine snub. The most common comparison for Thompson is Tarik Cohen.

Darwin Thompson also weighed in at 198 pounds, as mentioned in the tweet that Rotoworld linked to and the pro day report which they linked to in their previous post on him. Even though both Rotoworld posts say "190".

Georgia State WR Penny Hart ran the 40-yard dash in 4.63 seconds at his pro day.

Look away if you're a Hart truther because this isn't pretty. Hart (5'8/180) was expected to test like an above average athlete, but he was below average in every test except for the meaningless bench press. Hart recorded a 33.5-inch vertical, 111-inch broad jump, 4.75-second short shuttle, and 7.64-second three-cone, scores so surprising that we're suspicious if there is an underlying injury. These results will certainly make scouts re-evaluate the tape because all reports surrounding Hart at the Senior Bowl were positive.

FAU RB Kerrith Whyte Jr. ran the 40-yard dash in an unofficial 4.37 seconds at his pro day.

Whyte (5'10/197) finishes with an unofficial speed score of 108, but when it comes to agility, it's a slightly different story. Whyte's 7.20-second three-cone and 4.37-second short shuttle are both below average, but he did go bananas in the jumps (42-inch vertical and 132-inch broad) to more than make up for it. As the 1B to Devin Singletary's 1A, Whyte rushed for 866 yards (6.5 YPC) and eight touchdowns across 12 games, so it's justifiable to call Whyte a deep sleeper. Whyte also has some experience as a returner, which usually gives prospects additional looks.

Draft Analyst's Tony Pauline says that Ole Miss QB Jordan Ta'amu will assuredly be drafted after his performance at his pro day.

Ta'amu (6'3/221) was "very accurate" and showed "great arm strength", earning him a "winner" designation from Pauline. The draft analyst believes Ta'amu will be viewed as a nice developmental quarterback prospect, going as far as saying that he has "great upside." Only 21 years old, Ta'amu is very inexperienced, but he showed promise in his 1.5 seasons as a starter averaging 9.4 yards per pass attempt. Pauline reports that he met with the Vikings, Saints, Cowboys, and Texans before leaving for his internship with a local police department.

The Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars are "very interested" in Ole Miss TE Dawson Knox, with the Dallas Cowboys also in the mix.

Knox (6'4/254) was impressive at the Ole Miss Pro Day, recording the 40-yard dash in the 4.51-4.57 range and the short shuttle in the vicinity of 4.18-4.26 seconds. Both times are pretty impressive, especially since he's only 12 weeks removed from hernia surgery. Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy reports that the NFL "loves" Knox, so he's trending towards a Day 2 selection. Clearly athletic and universally loved by his Ole Miss coaches, the primary concern surrounding Knox's profile is a lack of receiving production. Knox enters the draft without a single touchdown with 321 and 284 yards across the last two seasons.

Thanks Faust for all of the info. My watch is full from all of these guys I wasnt aware of. I need a 2nd team in my main dyno league for all of these guys! The info you provide is invaluable

 
Eastern Kentucky RB L.J. Scott ran the 40-yard dash in an unofficial 4.55 seconds at his pro day.

Scott (5'11/217) also reportedly recorded a 6.80-second 3-cone, 33-inch vertical jump, and 4.24 short shuttle. These are solid times for the former Louisville running back. Scott transferred to Eastern Kentucky prior to the 2017 season after not seeing much playing time and rushing for just 396 yards and four touchdowns on 71 carries. He played two years at Eastern Kentucky, rushing for 598 yards on 102 carries (5.9 yards per carry) as a redshirt senior. Despite the strong workout metrics, Scott didn't dominate enough at a small school to warrant a selection in the upcoming NFL Draft.

As a big fan of ultra-deep rosters in dynasty I feel your pain.

The obvious solution is for our dynasty leagues to form our own AAF Subsidiary leagues and play weekly games against other owners using only guys on our new 20-man taxi squads.

Now if only I could get the other owners (most of whom have not yet even heard of Jordan Humphrey) on board...

 
NFL Media's Lance Zierlein called Texas WR Lil'Jordan Humphrey a "late round slot TE."

Humphrey (6'4/210) is not a tight end, but he ran like one at the NFL Scouting Combine (4.75-second 40-yard dash). At Texas, Humphrey had a decent amount of production (86-1,176-9) with most of it coming from the slot. Despite the production, Humphrey is drawing late-round consideration from the NFL because he's a one-year breakout and he has clear athletic limitations even if he is crafty with the ball in his hands.

NFL Films senior producer Greg Cosell said he would rather have Arizona Cardinals QB Josh Rosen than Ohio State Dwayne Haskins.

It seems to be a foregone conclusion at this point that the Arizona Cardinals will select Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray No. 1 overall and trade last year's first-round pick Josh Rosen. Cosell not only prefers Rosen because he's a "cleaner thrower of the football" but when factoring in cost he also makes more sense. "if I’m the Giants and I could give up a two and get Rosen, I would absolutely do it." Acquiring Rosen for a second-round pick and still having two firsts in 2019 to surround him with talent seems like an optimal decision. Optimizing a team hasn't been Giants GM Dave Gettleman's specialty so far, but he has a chance to prove otherwise in the upcoming weeks. Haskins' landing spot and draft position could be heavily impacted by the trade for Josh Rosen.

Hmmm. I like that idea...

 
NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah lists Alabama RB Joshua Jacobs, Quinnen Williams, T.J. Hockenson, Johnathan Abram, and Garrett Bradbury as his "favorite players to watch."

Jeremiah calls them "red star" prospects, which are handed out to players who "you’d love to have on team/in locker room." In addition to being high-end caliber players, all five prospects have tons of physicality and heart. In particular, Jacobs (5'10/216) doesn't shy away from contact, and he's had to work extra hard to achieve his Day 1 status as a former three-star. Even with the NFL devaluing running backs, most expect Jacobs to land in the latter part of Round 1.

I actually agree with these selections 100%. These are the WRs I would not downgrade if they went to Baltimore. I would be perfectly content ranking them where I have them today, which is in my top 5 but no details on where they stand in those top 5 until my pick is on the clock :)

I don't know. I have Brown in a devy league and the best I've been offered for him was Hilton. I would think if he goes to Balt., I won't be able to get that.
