Dynasty Leagues: Are any of you targeting Jordan Kent? (1 Viewer)

24-years-old, 6'4", 219 pounds, 40 inch plus vertical, 4.4 speed, three-sport collegiate athlete (All-American track star, Basketball, Football) at Oregon.Kent was probably headed for another year on the practice squad before Engram's injury. Now it's looking like he'll make the team and get some playing time in three and four WR sets. He's still incredibly raw (he didn't start playing football until his junior year of college) but he has improved dramatically over the past year. His route running still leaves a lot to be desired, but he has got the playbook down and his hands appear to be solid.The most encouraging thing about Kent is that he has shown a knack for getting behind the coverage. He has been giving the Seahawks CB's all that they can handle in practice, and he got behind the Vikings secondary multiple times in the Seahawks first preseason game. Hasselbeck connected with Kent on an 18 yard TD but the rest of Kent's targets were just a bit off (not great throws to be sure, but Kent also broke his stride looking for the ball).If you're in a really deep dynasty league, it's worth paying close attention to Kent for the remainder of the preseason. If he builds on his strong first game, you may want to consider taking a flyer on him at the end of the draft. If he disappears, file his name away and check back on him next year when he's more polished.

In 2005, Kent became the first male Division I athlete to letter in three or more sports in the same year (football, basketball and track) since World War II. Four-time NCAA track & field All-American.

I am in a very deep dynasty league and watching the Seahawk WR core very closely. Problem is, too many young WR's in a dead heat.

I actually drafted Kent as a rookie because I like the raw ability and opportunity combination. Had to throw him back in the pool when I needed to cut down. Have since picked him back up though and he will probably make my roster this year.

There are always guys like this in free agency in my leagues that I keep tabs on. This is one of the reasons I like trading for draft picks.. it frees up space for me to pick up prospects like Kent.

Kent looks really good tonight. 7 targets in the first half and a pass that would have been a TD if Vasher hadn't gotten his hand in and broken it up at the last second.

8 targets now. Frye tried to hit him on a go route in the endzone but Kent couldn't quite get his hands out. The Bears CB was playing WAY off him and Kent still got a step on him.
