Round 1 Results

2.01: George Pickens, Wide Receiver, Georgia

After tearing his ACL in spring practice many wondered if Pickens would be able to play this season. After intense rehab, Pickens was able to come back and play the team’s final four games. After coming off the injury, he was only able to secure five catches but was still able to flash his big-play ability in those few catches. Pickens shows great body control in his routes, and the ability to contort his body to go up and make big plays to bring in difficult catches. He has great hands and has shown to be very comfortable catching the football away from his body, providing him with a large catch radius.

With the ball in his hands, Pickens is able to make a quick move using his sneaky agility. He will need to improve his route running and control his tempo better coming out of routes but has shown the ability to be a consistent downfield threat. The injury really hampered his on-field production this season, which could give us the ability to draft him later than his talent suggests. I have him ranked as my number 5 rookie WR and would be thrilled to snag him early in the second round.

2.02: Chris Olave, Wide Receiver, Ohio State

We all got the hype at the combine that Chris Olave ran a 4.26 40. Thank god for the “unofficial” timing of they and bringing it up to a 4.39 because the fantasy community was going nuts! Rightfully so we should be going crazy as he knows how to track the ball well. His 6 foot frame is great, but if he can get his weight up a few pounds more, I think he’ll even be better than expected. Getting him here at the 2.02 I feel like after the combine and NFL draft will be his low point, so get him while you can for those of you who like to draft now.

2.03: Kyren Williams, Running Back, Notre Dame

Coming in as my RB4, I am very excited to land him here at 2.04. I have Spiller, Hall, Walker, and Williams as my top four and consider a drop after Williams. The last of the true three-down backs, Williams accounted for almost 2,900 scrimmage yards and scored 31 total touchdowns over the last two years. Teams should and will fall in love with his pass blocking along with being able to bounce outside and catch passes when needed, thanks to the 77 receptions he had. You may throw up a red flag at his size (5’9″, 199 pounds), but this kid plays bigger than he looks. 

2.04: Jahan Dotson, Wide Receiver, Penn State

Coming out of Penn State at 5’11” 187 pounds, you wouldn’t believe me if we were watching tape and I told you that. This kid plays a hell of a lot bigger than he really is and finished his senior year with 91 receptions for 1,182 yards and 12 touchdowns. The majority of Dotson’s production this year at Penn State was on the outside, and he excelled well. His ball skills, athleticism, and competitiveness put him in a tier of his own. He is a speedster that all 32 teams would love to have as he catches anything deep and short. From slants, curls digs, and post routes, he checks all the boxes.

2.05: Wan’Dale Robinson, Wide Receiver, Kentucky

Pure speed, quick-footed, someone who you will start to see get comped to a Deebo Samuel. A converted running back who went from Nebraska to Kentucky. He excelled at both schools who lined up at running back and wide receiver. He has the ability to create quick separation and should become a quarterback’s best friend this summer in training camp. This is the type of player I want on my fantasy team knowing that the potential to get fantasy points in multiple ways is always a bonus. Being a 1QB draft, I will more than happily take the upside player here.

2.06: Kenny Pickett, Quarterback, Pittsburgh

At this point in the draft, I’m happy to grab the potential top quarterback off the board in Kenny Pickett. He’s the one quarterback in this class that I could see getting a shot at a starting role right away, albeit he might be better off sitting for a year. He’s poised and confident in the pocket and has the leadership qualities you want in a starting quarterback. Pickett was a four-year starter for Pittsburgh and pretty much holds every record now for the school. At this point in the second round, I’m happy to take the first quarterback.
