[Dynasty] 2023 NFL Draft Class (1 Viewer)

The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec writes the Ravens drafting Georgia QB Stetson Bennett would "be a logical guess."​

"It wouldn't be surprising if they drafted [a quarterback]," Zrebiec noted before connecting Bennett to his former college offensive coordinator, Todd Monken. The Ravens definitely spent a lot of time evaluating this class and Bennett seems likely to be available with a Day 3 pick, so it could make some sense to get him on the roster as the Lamar Jackson contract situation unfolds.

Been saying it for a while.
This is one of the late-round guys the #Browns could be eying if they prioritize elsewhere in their first four(ish) selections.

On the @EstablishTheRun pod last week I said Charlotte's Grant Dubose was my favorite Day 3 WR
He's got the size (6-2, 201 with a 6-6 wingspan), fluidity (6.89 3-cone), and body control to find a starting role in the league

Bob McGinn's annual series, collecting the views of some personnel people on NFL teams. They're generally high on this year's TE class, low on the WRs & OL.

Part 1, WR/TE: Hallelujah, it's the Year of the Tight End
My survey of 16 personnel men in the past few weeks asked them to rank the tight ends on a 1-to-5 basis, with a first-place vote worth five points, a second worth four and so on. Michael Mayer led with 10 firsts and 68 ½ points, followed by Dalton Kincaid (61, five firsts), Darnell Washington (40, one), Sam LaPorta (26 ½), Luke Musgrave (21), Tucker Kraft (11), Luke Schoonmaker (10) and Brenton Strange (two).

Jaxon Smith-Njigba led with five firsts and 57 points, followed by Quentin Johnston (53, seven), Jordan Addison (48, three), Zay Flowers (43, one), Jalin Hyatt (17), Josh Downs (seven), Xavier Hutchinson (four), Cedric Tillman (four), Jonathan Mingo (three), Michael Wilson (two), Jason Brownlee (one) and Marvin Mims (one).

Part 2, OL: Buyer beware...

Paris Johnson and Peter Skoronski tied for first with 74 points, although Skoronski had eight first-place votes compared to five for Johnson. Following, in order, were Broderick Jones (61, three), Darnell Wright (29), Anton Harrison (28), Matt Bergeron (20), O’Cyrus Torrence (14), Dawand Jones (10), Cody Mauch (eight), Joe Tippmann (seven), Steve Avila (four), John Michael Schmitz (three), Sidy Sow (two) and Luke Wypler (two).

Part 3, QB: Bryce Young has the 'S2' advantage

Young, with 10 firsts and 72 points, led the way. He was followed by Stroud (56, two), Levis (46, three), Richardson (40, one), Hooker (20), Max Duggan (two), Haener (two), Tanner McKee (one) and Dorian Thompson-Robinson (one).

and on the S2 cognitive test for QBs

Multiple sources said Young’s total score was 98% whereas Stroud’s total score was 18%.

Some other total scores in the class of quarterbacks this year were 96% for Fresno State’s Jake Haener, 93% for Kentucky’s Will Levis and Brigham Young’s Jaren Hall, 84% for Houston’s Clayton Tune, 79% for Florida’s Anthony Richardson and 46% for Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker.

Oh okay so the percent score is an actual percentile?

Looks like it. I clicked the article, too. Not sure what to make of S2 or what it means. I never put a ton of stock in the Wonderlic, but this is apparently about processing information visually rather than an IQ-type test.

Stroud 18%? What? I don't really have a gauge on these test result numbers, but I assume that is a rare level of bad.

1 of 5 would score around there

Yes, but important to note a percentile of nfl draft prospects not the general population.

It is a measure of processing and tracking not IQ. There are apparently several subcomponents. The developer of the test didn't seem to think the composite score was the way to analyze the results.

I see, that's a lot less bad.
 
Bob McGinn: Part 4, RB: 'There’s nothing he can’t do'

A Texas Longhorn, Robinson’s dominance in this draft was reflected by the results of my poll surveying 16 evaluators this month. He drew 15 first-place votes, and the outlier gave him a second.

Equally as dominant in the runner-up position was Jahmyr Gibbs with 15 second’s and one first.

As much as the scouts agreed that Robinson (79 points) was the best back and Gibbs was second best (65), they were all over the gridiron when it came to the rest of their 1-2-3-4-5 ballots. Twelve other runners gained at least one mention, testimony of the woodwork theory that teams just aren’t sure who might advance from nowhere to notoriety – and how long they might stay there.

Zach Charbonnet finished third with 24 points, followed by Kendre Miller (20), Devon Achane (17), Tyjae Spears (13 ½), Roschon Johnson (nine), Eric Gray (three), DeWayne McBride (three), Israel Abanikanda (two), Tank Bigsby (two), Kenny McIntosh (one), Deuce Vaughn (one) and Sean Tucker (one-half).

RB class is such a quandary after Charbonnet (maybe even after Gibbs). Evans not picked in top 5 by any of 16 evaluators? Tucker barely was mentioned by only one evaluator?

Personally I think the quandary starts after Gibbs, not after Charbs. RB3+ is wide open to me.

Let's use the Bengals as an example. Let's say they pick a RB in round 2 and chop Mixon. Under a scenario such as that there are probably close to 10 RB's who could vie for RB3 other then consensus top 2.

I was surprised by the Evans ommission, not by Tucker who has had as big of a gap in how fantasy players feel about him vs NFL talent evaluators as probably anyone in this class. I look forward to seeing how that eventually plays out and hopefully his health won't be an obstacle.
