[efactor]

Curious on your thoughts on what kind of target action Hunter will get IF he is playing DB full time?

 

[Gatorade]

Good mock. The only things that stand out :
1- Tuten at 2.08 RB8 - that is quite a bump from the combine
2- ranking of top 2 QB looks right, but not sure I would draft the others that high

Big damn mystery isn’t it? Some will take him early in the 2nd gambling he wants to play more WR later in the year and once he reaches his second contract he may want to make more money and that is at WR.

2- ranking of top 2 QB looks right, but not sure I would draft the others that high

You think Dart and Milroe in the third is too high? I can see that as long as it’s 6 points per passing TD and not 4, even in 1QB leagues.

As for Tuten, some will fall in love with him. I personally would take Sampson over him. This is what I think, not what I prefer.

With 6 points per TD I could see that. Personally I would have to be pretty desperate for a QB to draft any of them.
I agree on Sampson. Maybe even Harvey and Gordon.

[Raging weasel]

What spot did you draft in?

 

[JohnnyU]

What spot did you draft in?

Depends on the league. I’m in six, three of them DEVY

Edit: in the 3 DEVYs, some of the top guys are already rostered, but not all. I pick 1.10 and no other picks. In another DEVY I pick 1.11, 2.11, and I have three 3rd round picks. In three dynasty leagues, one of them I pick 1.12, 2.12, but I have four 3rd round picks. In another I made a trade early last year that turned out to be 1.01. In the same league I have 1.10, 2.05, 2.10, and three 3rd rd picks. In the last league I don’t have many picks, just one 2nd and two 3rds.

 

[travdogg]

Dylan Sampson that late would be stealing. DJ Giddens would be a steal too.

I'd want zero to do with Treveyon Henderson or Tre Harris at those prices.

I agree that's too high for Bond as well. Arroyo will move up when he runs 4.5 at his pro day.

ETA: Thanks for the snapshot of what people are thinking though.

 

[menobrown]

Good job.

I think there are a lot of RB's I'd have ordered a lot differently, including one you omitted, but understand sorting the secondary level RB's, RB6+ types, is difficult right now and landing spot/draft capital is going to influence a lot of that.

If I had to pick one player, for sure non-RB, that exceeds your ADP the most I would go with Mason Taylor in this format. I think he's going to get drafted in the 30-40 overall range in the NFL draft and while he's more of a Y tight end he does have skills in the passing game. Typically that kind of draft pedigree and profile is getting you drafted in early to mid round 2 at the latest in the 1.5 PPR leagues I play.

Part of that reason is QB's go a lot later in my leagues so that pushes other players up. I often say not all one QB leagues are equal. You probably play in large roster sized leagues, in the smaller leagues I play it's so hard keeping backups or multiple Qb's that he market is just more robust to point they are dime a dozens if they don't have special potential. The largest roster size I play is 22 and I was getting Drake Maye in round 4 last year(Or could have picked any QB but Caleb and Jayden).

You mentioned Taylor awhile ago as someone you like. Pundits praised his GAUNTLET where hit a top speed of 26 mph, which I didn’t think was possible for a human his size. I still question that reading considering Usain Bolt’s top was 27.3, but regardless he looked smooth and moved very well.

I based this mock with roster sizes of 24, 25, and 26 in mind. You may be right about Mason Taylor, he may be too low in a 1.5 TEP.

Who are the players in the later rounds you’re interested in? The guy I’m intrigued by Iis Brashard Smith. Hope to get in the 3rd, but not knowing landing spot, it is tough. Others include Jalen Royals (will have to take in the 2nd probably) and Jack Bech (3rd).

Brashard Smith for sure for me. And I was signing Bech's praises a while back. Unrealistic to expect the NFL outcome to be similar, but he had the feel of a Puka to me on where I was on him predraft in 2023. But to pick a different one, I'm also a Tahj Brooks fan, and would probably have him about a round higher, right around Brashard. He's a three down, workhorse back that just checks all the most boring but overlooked boxes. Ideal weight, reliable hands, heavy workload with almost no missed time, almost no fumbles, uber consistent despite matchups (23 total 100 yard games, 11 in a row this past season), great at pass pro. Watching him he just really seems to have a head for the game too; good vision, good patience, rarely every takes a negative play, etc. His athletic measurables are where he's often getting dinged but while his 40 was just ok (4.52); his shuttle (4.06) and his 3 cone (6.90) puts him in great company analytically/historically. And I care more about quick twitch, start/stop, change of direction speed than breakaway speed generally. If he gets 3rd round draft capital, or even 4th round to a good landing spot, I'll be aiming to take him in the 3rd round of rookie drafts. Also Waldmann is semi cuckoo for him. Think he has him as a top 4? 5? back for him last I listened to his pod I believe.

I agree with the bold Tuten placement. Not only did he crush the combine, but even before that analysts started pumping him in the 2nd round of mocks. In fact 2 weeks ago CBS mocked him in the first round to the Chargers at pick 22. I think that's a stretch, but it would definitely have him going as an early 2nd round dynasty rookie pick immediately, if not higher. Even mid 2nd round draft capital will elevate him to about where you got him IMO.

2.06 feels high to me for Sanders, but I guess it would be largely roster dependent. If I was in need of a starting QB, let's say I didn't have a top 12ish guy to start, that seems fair. Breaking point would probably be if I had Love/Mayfield I'd likely pass on him there in favor of some of the guys going after him in this mock. But if I had Purdy/Goff as my best/only starter I'd consider it. And agree with Meno on Mason Taylor feeling like one of only things missing from this. Otherwise this feels really spot on for what I'm reading and listening to right now. Awesome job!

Wait. He hit 26mph?!? Is that confirmed anywhere? I might have to rethink where I’d draft him if true

Check out the link, it was only briefly and I do not know how that compares to others or how accurate…but it seems insane to me.

I watched that live and never even realized he hit that MPH. I was to mesmerized by how good he looked in the drill. If that white line was like a wood plank 100 feet in the air he might have been the only player doing the combine drills who would still be alive, lol.



You referenced that I had mentioned Taylor awhile ago, thanks for remembering. I'd give credit for Jim Nagy for intitially pointing me in that direction. Jim's left his senior bowl position and anyone who follows him on twitter knows he's always going to put Senior Bowl players in the best light but he does not lie or make gross exaggerations about them. So back in January when I heard him say that he thought Taylor had a shot to be the top TE taken in the draft it was eye opening to me, got me to go take a deeper look at him. He was, for once, likely prone to a little hyperbole in this case and maybe he meant to say the highest TE taken from Senior Bowl participants which did not include Warren or Loveland but did include just about every other top TE prospect. Either way I considiered that actionable intel which got me to review Taylor and I have actually drafted him in every draft I've done this year, all of which are TEP and I use my last skill postion pick or two on him and only wait that long because he's still under the radar. But ever since I heard Nagy say that the drumbeat had just continued and went up even more after the combine. I know fans tend to think of combine winners as who does best in athletic testing, which he did not do of course, but I consider him one of the biggest combine winners due to his on field testing and feedback I've heard about that testing and him.

 

[JohnnyU]

Assuming the Chargers draft one of the top end RBs, where does Dobbins end up? He’s a UFA.

4.03 - DJ Gideon’s RB

Good work. This has biblical proportions to it.

Giddens is too low at first blush. I think he goes higher in the NFL Draft than we think and that will push him up in dynasty drafts.

Great work, @JohnnyU

Some random thoughts:

Tre Harris as a first-rounder seems a bit too high for me. I like him, but not in the first. Otherwise, I think your Round One is spot-on. It will be interesting to see who goes in that 1.12 spot. Unless Travis Hunter elects to play WR, there are really only 11 first rounders in the class. It feels like the 1.12 is the beginning of Round Two.
I am a bit lower on this QB class, but if someone needs a QB, I get it.
I would definitely not take Bond ahead of either Higgins or Royals. I love the speed Bond brings, but he has never produced big numbers. I think he will need a lot of manufactured touches to be a fantasy producer.
Mason Taylor would be a steal that late, imo, I am probably higher than most on Taylor, but I don't think there is that significant a drop from Loveland to Taylor. Terrance Ferguson is also on the rise.
Jaylin Noel is a great value in the third.
DJ Giddens is a great value in the fourth round.
I would add Tory Horton to this list.

 

[socrates]

I am curious what others are seeing at the 1.12 spot in 1 QB leagues. I feel like there will be a riser following the NFL Draft, someone who lands in a tantalizing situation, and that will settle it. Perhaps it is one of the RBs, such as Skattebo, or a WR such as Higgins or Harris. In my rankings, I cheated a bit and slid Hunter in there, mostly as a placeholder until we get more clarification on his role.
