1.01: Breece Hall, Running Back, Iowa State

The only legit day one starter who tested very well at the NFL Combine. Breece Hall totaled 3,044 rushing yards over the past two seasons, pair that with 46 total touchdowns and you have the best college running back in this draft. If he can land on a team that has a heavy workload to give then Hall should be an immediate benefactor. While Hall still has to work on a few things to be an elite back, he does possess the athletic tools to become a fantasy-relevant player on day one. In a single 1QB draft, going for the only possible bell-cow back seems fundamental.

1.02:

Garrett Wilson, Wide Receiver, Ohio State

Garrett Wilson has the chance to be the first wide receiver drafted in the 2022 NFL Draft. Measuring in at 6’0 and 183 pounds, he showed that he deserves to be the first wideout off the board. He was second-best on Ohio State in receptions and yards behind sophomore standout Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but his 70 receptions, 1,058 yards, and 12 touchdowns were second on the team. Running a 4.38 40-yard dash, Wilson showed us he is an athletic receiver, with the elite speed that we saw at Ohio State. His instant burst and his explosion off the line just help go along with his elite route running and ability to rack up yards after the catch. Wilson, in my mind, is the best route runner in the class who can hit a homerun anytime when on the field and has that natural ability to just catch the ball. I’m all in and have Wilson as my WR1 in this draft.

1.03: Kenneth Walker III, Running Back, Michigan State

5’10’ 210 pounds makes for great size to go with the attributes that Kenneth Walker showcased at this year’s NFL Combine. This easily puts Walker in as my RB2 in this draft class. With only having a small target share at MSU this past season, a big question mark was his cathing ability, but again these worries were laid to rest at the NFL Combine. I’m a stat fan so leading the nation in rushing with 1,636 yards is fantastic, but taking a look at yards after contact, his 1,154 were mind-blowing. This could give some the reason to pull the trigger on Walker as the RB2 in rookie drafts. Winning the Doak Walker and being an AP ALL-American in 2021 makes landing him at 1.03 an easy pick.

1.04: Treylon Burks, Wide Receiver, Arkansas

Arkansas native Treylon Burks will sit atop my wide receiver rookie rankings after a great career for the Razorbacks. During his final season at Arkansas, Burks hauled in 66 catches for 1,104 yards and 11 touchdowns. Burks is a big, physical receiver that has breakaway speed. This combo sets him apart and provides him a monster ceiling in the NFL. One thing you will quickly notice on Burks is his ability to consistently produce yards after the catch.

Arkansas found multiple ways to get Burks the football and he was able to use his strength to stiff-arm defenders and his speed to break away and outrun defenders’ angles. Another trait that sticks out is his contested catchability. The height, vertical, and massive hands make for a big catch radius and are a huge reason for his success in his contested catch rate. Burks also is a very versatile receiver consistently winning matchups lining up on the outside, the slot, and even out of the backfield. He’s a no-brainer for me with the 1.04 pick.

1.05: Isaiah Spiller, Running Back, Texas A&M

Isaiah Spiller’s lackluster NFL Combine has left a lot of dynasty managers disappointed, but I’m excited to get him here with the 5th overall pick. Spiller is a true three-down workhorse with upside as a between the tackles runner and as a pass-catcher. He has really good vision that allows him to hit holes hard and fast and possesses both elusiveness and power to make defenders miss once he gets into open space. Landing spot and draft capital will be everything for him in terms of immediate value, but his upside is still high regardless.

1.06: Rachaad White, Running Back, Arizona State

Knowing that I was going to land either Rachaad White or Spiller here made me quite happy. With Spiller going right before me, the choice was too easy. White is a whole bunch of speed in a 214-pound frame, made to be an explosive NFL running back. His NFL Combine numbers only solidified what game footage showed us of his final season at Arizona State. He averaged over 5.5 YPC on his 182 attempts last year and added 43 receptions for another 456 yards. It’s very likely that White is drafted to a team that will use him immediately and should have success as a runner and a pass-catcher, making for a very tantalizing pick for fantasy managers.
