[Dynasty] 2019 NFL Draft Class (1 Viewer)

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport notes that the only quarterback to visit the Cincinnati Bengals was NC State's Ryan Finley.

Finley (6'4/213) is one of the better Day 2 quarterback options if the Bengals want to give Andy Dalton one more season of posting inconsistent numbers. While Finley does make sense as a prospect who could push Dalton later in the season or in 2020, the Bengals will face pressure to select one of the top quarterbacks with their 11th overall pick, assuming one is available. NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah and The Athletic's Dane Brugler both mocked Dwayne Haskins to Cincy in their most recent mock drafts, but Daniel Jones and Drew Lock would also be in play.

West Virginia WR Gary Jennings led the Big 12 in yards per route run from the slot.

Jennings (6'1/214) may end up on the outside in the NFL -- that's where Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy projects him to play -- but Jennings was very efficient on the inside at West Virginia. As a junior, Jennings caught 97 passes, but he went on a contested-catch streak as a senior which led to 13 touchdowns. On top of his production, Jennings offers 4.42-speed as a nice wide receiver sleeper.

Didn't he just tear the thing 4 months ago? Is it supposed to be not stiff yet?

He should have full range of motion within 4 to 6 weeks. at 4 months he should be cleared for sprinting and moderate plyometric work/cutting. 

I wonder if he cant straighten/hyper extend it. Typically you want about 3 to 5 degrees of hyper extension following an acl repair. if it doesnt do this it's a red flag for problems or retearing

He goes from mid-round dart throw to undrafted for me.  I'd rather take a chance on someone else with the pick and roster spot.

Yeah, definitely not the news you wanna see. That said, I'd still draft him as a flier in round 3 or so. I'd rather take a prospect I like, with health issues, over guys I know aren't good.

Its a shame, I truly believe he was the most talented RB in this class.

Rotoworld take:

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports there is "concern" over how stiff Stanford RB Bryce Love's knee is.

Love (5'9/200) posted a video to social media, and it showed him not as far along in the ACL rehabilitation process as he should be four months post-surgery. There's concern that his knee may need additional surgical work to help with his leg stiffness. As of now, most expect Love to open his rookie season on the PUP list, but he's at risk of being out his entire rookie season. NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah said Love was in the Round 5 range, but it would take an optimistic medical staff to allow that to happen. If he can regain form, Love has sleeper appeal as one of the better college running backs of the last decade.

Pro Football Focus's Mike Renner lists San Jose TE Josh Oliver as a potential sleeper in the 2019 NFL Draft class.

Oliver was one of the true few bright spots for a San Jose STate team that was atrocious the last two seasons. Renner notes that he was excellent making contested catches, and excellent might be an understatement. "His 16 contested catches were four more than that of the next tight end in the draft (Kaden Smith) and ranked 10th among all players in the country," he writes. Oliver is likely to go on Day 3, but he could be a steal because of his potential as a move tight end.

Kansas State's Alex Barnes was Pro Football Focus' 59th-ranked running back in college football in 2018.

Barnes (6'0/226) was 100th in missed tackles forced per attempt, which is surprising given his 99th percentile SPARQ athleticism and huge bench press at the NFL Scouting Combine. However, that SPARQ rating is a little misleading since his 40-yard dash lands him in the 48th percentile. NFL Media's Lance Zierlein shared similar athletic concerns when he said, "Barnes appears to lack downhill burst and explosive speed to the corner."

Pro Football Focus's Mike Renner lists Toledo WR Diontae Johnson as a potential sleeper in the 2019 NFL Draft class.

"There might not be a more electric player with the ball in his hands than Johnson in this class," writes Renner. Thompson's concerns mostly come from his size, and the fact that his athletic testing (4.53 second 40-yard dash) was only average. "This past season, he was hampered by a downgrade at quarterback from Logan Woodside and a newfound drop habit (eight drops on 57 catchable passes), but the playmaking ability remained," writes Renner. "Johnson broke 10 tackles on his 49 catches in 2018." Assuming he's a Day 3 selection -- and he almost assuredly is - the potential added value is palpable.

The AThletic's Dane Brugler lists North Texas WR Jalen Guyton as a player who could be drafted despite not being invited to the NFL Scouting Combine.

Guyton showed flashes of brilliance in his two years with the Mean Green, and caught 54 passes for 805 yards in his junior year with six touchdowns. He was a former top recruit who played with Kyler Murray in high school that transferred from Notre Dame to the JUCO ranks before landing with North Texas. "He lacks refinement," writes Brugler, "but his athletic profile (4.35 40-yard dash, 6.90 three-cone) is appealing."

NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah said UAB WR Xavier Ubosi "looks like early day 3 guy."

Ubosi (6'3/215) enters the league coming off a 35-837-8 season, but he's received zero draft buzz (at least on the media side) outside of participating in the NFLPA Bowl. At his pro day, Ubosi ran an unofficial 4.50-second 40-yard dash with a high-end 125-inch vertical. Jeremiah describes Ubosi as being "fluid for a big guy" and having "excellent size/play speed." Ubosi would be a fun undrafted free agent for your favorite team to take a flier on.

NC State WR Jakobi Meyers tied for the most 20+ yard plays in the ACC last year.

Meyers (6'2/203) is probably going to be an undrafted free agent since he ran the 40-yard dash in a slow 4.63 seconds, which was a little surprising given his 27 big plays. To make matters more complex, Meyers showed respectable burst with a 37-inch vertical jump. On the field, Meyers caught 78% of his 118 targets and has been praised for his footwork.

Fresno State WR KeeSean Johnson led the Group of Five in 20+ yard plays as a receiver in 2018.

Johnson (6'1/201) isn't the best athlete, but he was a productive player at Fresno State. After a sophomore year mini break out (66-773-6), Johnson posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons as a junior and senior, including last year's 95-1,340-8 receiving line that landed him inside the top-10 in receiving yards. With his limited athletic profile (4.53-second 40-yard dash at 201 pounds), we should expect Johnson to be a Day 3 pick.
