1.07: Jameson Williams, Wide Receiver, Alabama
Williams is a fairly polarizing wide receiver in this class, but the more I watch him the higher I move him up. He is an absolute playmaker and is just a big play waiting to happen. He’s dangerous anytime he gets the ball in his hands. He is very explosive, runs routes well, can start and stop on a dime, and creates separation better than just about every single other receiver in this class. The biggest knock you might see on Williams is that he transferred from Ohio State, where he didn’t see the field much. Between that and some analytics that might tell you he’s too skinny, I expect you might see him lower on some rankings, but still likely a first-round rookie pick. Despite not getting on the field much at Ohio State, he transferred to Alabama and started immediately, racking up 1,572 yards on 79 catches with 15 touchdowns, which speaks volumes.
Jameson Williams and Justin Fields were teammates at Ohio State, and Williams has been killing it at Alabama this year.

1.08: Sam Howell, Quarterback, North Carolina
This year’s quarterback class is not one to brag about, but I am not passing up Sam Howell here. At the beginning of the 2021 college football season, many like myself had Howell as a contender for QB1 for the 2022 NFL Draft class. He lost a lot of his playmakers to the 2021 NFL draft, and it showed in his tape as he developed as a threat in the run game, explaining his 11 rushing touchdowns. Even though his stats took a hit, he still showed his strong, and accurate ability to throw the ball, especially on the run. His offensive line was a mess in 2021, throwing his stats well below what we have seen over the last couple of years. His freshman and sophomore years were phenomenal, and he’s not afraid to put his team on his back.

1.09: Rachaad White, Running Back, Arizona State
1.10: David Bell, Wide Receiver, Purdue
Most of the time when drafting from the 10th spot in a rookie draft, it means my team is right there with the guys who faced off in the championship. I wanted to draft a player that I believe will contribute early in the season and help my team out right away. At 6’2″ and 205 pounds, Bell has the physical presence to compete at the NFL level. On top of that, he is a great route runner with solid hands and speed. He’s more of a jack-of-all-trades athlete – which I love about him.

1.11: Malik Willis, Quarterback, Liberty
Willis is an exciting talent out of Liberty University. Watching his tape, Willis has a strong arm, can make accurate throws downfield, and often is a quick decision-maker. While many of the common highlight reels will show him completing 20+ yard passes, he also has demonstrated his ability to get the ball out quickly and create when forced out of the pocket. One thing I love about Willis is when he gets flushed out of the pocket, he tends to keep his eyes downfield, both staying aware of where his receivers are and also keeping the defense guessing. And obviously, the man can run, averaging nearly 80 rushing yards per game in his last two years at Liberty. This past season taught us not to expect too much from rookie quarterbacks out the gate, but Willis is the type of player that can easily have a breakout sophomore season, especially if he lands in an RPO-heavy offense.

1.12: Skyy Moore, Wide Receiver, Western Michigan
You see the number 24 and have a hard time not thinking it’s a defensive back, but it’s actually Western Michigan’s star wide receiver Skyy Moore. The funny thing is Moore came into Western Michigan as a defensive back, just never changed his number. Moore has been a fast-rising name. Over 1,200 yards receiving the past year has contributed to a lot of good film, including only having four drops (seven for his college career) on 125 targets. His separation ability stands out with crisp routes and properly adjusting in space. He should thrive in the modern spread offenses of the NFL as he is a hard player to take down once the ball is in his hands.
Oh my. What a grab, Skyy Moore.
