For those of you who are heavy into the dynasty fantasy football space, keep an eye on running back Tyrone Tracy out of Purdue. Good size, really hard to bring down, & has a background as a receiver as well. He has the potential to become a productive 3-down back in my opinion.
Roy Lee Pickett
Does he remind you of David Johnson?
Lance Zierlein
Yes. Good call.

A few guys to move up your board in conversations over the last few weeks—
• USC WR Brenden Rice
• Kansas State TE Ben Sinnott
• Houston OT Patrick Paul
Sinnott has a legitimate shot of being TE2 off the board, and despite the consensus among media, it should not surprise to hear Paul’s name on Day 1.

D Hampton S Washington

T McLachlan TE AZ
M Washington WR UVA
Super competitive dudes

I mean this as a good thing, but Tyrone Tracy Jr. runs like he's drunk.
Always stumbling, staggering, and lurching through the defense, but get through it he does!
Lance Zierlein
The definition of unpredictable pathways and movements. Not always great thing when a RB takes a run off schedule, but how he gets in and out of those spots is just different than most of the backs in this draft.
He can’t block to save his life.Eric Galko
From the @MemphisFB Pro Day today, RB Blake Watson wowed NFL personnel.
Scouts really liked the film, but had questions on athleticism and speed.
At 5096 and 200 pounds () he ran a 4.40 (times in high 4.3s/low 4.4s.)
As compared to NFL Combine RBs:
4.40 forty (4th best)
41.5 vert (T-1st)
11’3 broad (1st)
Seems like surefire draft pick despite no NFL Combine invite. Three 30 visits so far, imagine he’ll have at least a few more after this.
Another special Memphis NFL RB!

Samford QB Michael Hiers is a name you might want to know for the draft.
Probably a late day three pick, but he's got decent tape with natural accuracy & an ability to get through full-field reads down all the way to his checkdown.
He's got a shot to be a late round "make it"
Eric Galko
.@IsaacGuerendo finished his college career with under 250 carries
But with a career 6+ YPC, 4.33 forty time at 221 lbs and testing in the 99th%, he's in play for a top-100 pick
Great interview w/ @BrettKollmann @FootballEJ
with Isaac from @ShrineBowl:

Former Troy HC Jon Sumrall (now at Tulane) told us Kimani Vidal is the best pass pro RB he's ever been around.
Just rolled thru Vidal's blitz pickup cutup and he just 𝑩𝑼𝑪𝑲𝑳𝑬𝑺 dudes (really fun tape!).
Reps like thisare why @kimanividal is quietly a favorite among NFL RB coaches.
@PFF had highest "rushing" grade (93.2) in FBS and best "pass block" grade (79.3) of any RB in 2024 draft.
He also ran 4.46 official at Combine and has 8.81 RAS score (@MathBomb ).
𝙁𝙁 𝙏𝙞𝙥: Vidal is the Day 3 back that fantasy owners should be keeping tabs on next fall. Why, you say?
Because unlike most rookie RBs, coaches are going to trust him on third down so they're going to play him.

Thought that the Michael Penix Jr & Drake Maye pro days really showed the contrast in the QBs. Penix is a machine throwing it over and over. Maye loses control of his throws more than any of the top QBs in consideration. Penix is being underrated. He should be a Top 20 pick
Peter Schrager
Senior Bowl Director @JimNagy_SB was at Jayden Daniels’ Pro Day last week. Daniels was awesome.
Nagy asked a GM to rank it among JJ McCarthy’s and Caleb Williams’ Pro Day performances.
The GM’s response?
1. McCarthy
2. Daniels
3. Williams

Brock Bowers is an elite play-maker with the ball in his hands. Probably no worse than 2nd-best of any TE in at least a decade.
And yet he's still not coming anywhere close to Jaheim Bell

Iowa tight end Erick All is one of the most fascinating players to slot in this year's draft.
When healthy, he looks like a top 75 pick with really good athletic traits. BUT he's played 10 games in two years, had an ACL tear and has had a season-ending back injury.
Rooting for the player and his health. Starting-level TE if healthy. But medicals are a huge question mark.
