Round 1 Results

2.01 Skyy Moore

Skyy Moore is Golden Tate to me and Golden Tate was an incredibly valuable wide receiver to own during his peak for dynasty football leagues. You may not get that elite production, but you can get some solid year in and year out production, which is extremely valuable in itself in dynasty leagues. To get that potential value here in the 2nd makes for an easy decision.

2.02 Jahan Dotson

Jahan Dotson has probably one of the largest catch radiuses relative to body size in the draft. While a natural slot, as an off-the-ball Y-receiver he could also thrive there. Dotson has tremendous body control on hard cuts for routes where he sinks his hips naturally to change direction. A late 1st or early 2nd round pick is likely for Dotson in the NFL Draft. Athleticism could be capped but with him running in the 4.4’s that is plenty of speed to do well in the NFL.

2.03 Isaiah Spiller

Isaiah Spiller has been sliding in mock drafts recently, largely in part to the concerns over his speed. People are going to regret doing that. Just watch a few minutes of Spiller’s tape and you’ll see a patient runner whose short-area burst, footwork, and decision-making are phenomenal. He almost reminds you of a Le’Veon Bell type of runner. And just like my 1st-round pick, Spiller will be only 20 years old when he is drafted. Grabbing these ultra young guys gives me much more time to get my return on investment.

2.04 Justyn Ross

There are still so many guys I like on the board here. There may be a bit of risk here with this pick, but I love the upside that comes with Justyn Ross. He led Clemson with 1.000 receiving yards for 21.7 yards per catch. As a freshman! He did miss the 2020 season, but came back in 2021 just as tough and continued to make big plays. Sometimes, when you’re drafting, you just gotta get your guys. And in this class, Ross is my guy!

2.05 Sam Howell

Sam Howell is my QB2 in this class and I will not apologize to anyone for that. In my 2QB/Superflex rankings, I’ve currently got him at #8 overall, so I’d be pumped to snag him at pick 17 if this were a real draft. I know there isn’t a ton of draft buzz on him at the moment, but I genuinely feel that he could be the 2nd or 3rd quarterback off of the board. He played well in college and showed that he could bring that competitive “it” factor with him on game day. His 2021 season wasn’t the most impressive as a passer, but you’ve got to realize that he lost his top three offensive weapons in the 2020 NFL Draft and had one of the worst offensive lines in all of college football.

Despite not being much of a rusher in his first couple of years at North Carolina, he was able to put the team on his back and impress with his rushing stats in 2021. Any NFL team is going to want that “win at all costs” quarterback, and Howell is definitely that guy. Like I said, I would not be the least bit surprised to hear his name called on day one of the draft. In my opinion, Howell at this point in the draft is a steal.

2.06 John Metchie

After taking Treylon Burks, my second pick is an almost entirely different receiving prospect. John Metchie is a smaller wide receiver who wins more on breakaway speed and quick cuts rather than playing bully ball. His propensity to catch the ball with his body could cost him yards as he takes time to transition from receiver to runner. If Metchie can develop his deep ball tracking skills a bit more in the pros he’ll be able to unlock a very high ceiling. It’s asking a lot, but if everything comes together, his specific brand of football could see him putting up numbers that will win dynasty teams a championship.

2.07 Zamir White

After grabbing a wide receiver in the first round in Olave, I’m happy to grab a running back here. Zamir White is a no-brainer at this point for me as one of the few running backs in this class who I believe have a fair amount of upside for dynasty purposes. Typically, I target wide receivers in dynasty rookie drafts or quarterbacks considering it’s a 2QB draft, but in this case, with the top tier of wideouts and quarterbacks being taken, I’ll gamble on a running back with upside.

White is another Georiga running back who has great vision and is excellent between the tackles. He’s not elite, but he’s an excellent running back all-around and is well-rounded and quite athletic. He has good long speed and wiggle in his game as well, overall I think if he lands in the right spot, he could offer an immediate impact to your dynasty teams.

2.08 Trey McBride

After taking Walker with my 1st-round pick, I go with who I believe is a true TE1 and immediate starter, assuming he lands with a tight end-needy team on draft day. Trey McBride played lights out his final year at Colorado State, putting up school records for both receptions and receiving yards for a tight end with 90 receptions and 1,121 receiving yards. He led the team with a stellar 35% target share in his final year as well.

McBride has great hands and great speed putting up a 4.65 40-yard dash at the combine, which might have shot his draft value up to Round 2 or 3 in the draft. Historically, tight ends don’t produce in year one. However, we have seen that trend go upwards after great first seasons from Pat Freiermuth and Kyle Pitts. Give me all the Trey love!

2.09 David Bell

I simply couldn’t find a reason to pass on David Bell at this point in the draft, with the 21st selection. The only reason his draft stock has dropped is that he ran a 4.65 40 at the combine. He had a Freshman year breakout, came back to dominate his Junior year (following the shortened COVID 2020 season), and was an early declare. Bell can be a solid WR2 at the next level, and at 6’2 205 pounds, he has a solid NFL frame. Bell isn’t one of my favorite wideouts in this draft, but he’s too solid to let him fall past this pick.

2.10 Rachaad White

After grabbing my quarterback in the 1st round, I’m going with the best player available and grab a player who I think will make an impact right away, especially in PPR, and that’s Rachaad White. A knock that many will see is he is 23 years old. White is a former JUCO transfer that has the size, and the speed that NFL teams look for. He has the potential to be a three-down back and according to PlayerProfiler, he is comparable to David Johnson. If he can do what Johnson did in the NFL, then this is an absolute steal, and I am happy to grab him here.

2.11 James Cook

After drafting a wide receiver in the 1st round, I think it only makes sense for me to take a running back here. James Cook fits the narrative of the modern-day running back build. He’s a player who can operate as an efficient pass catcher in the backfield. He also has decent rushing ability, but the passing game is where he could really give you value. Also, his name alone should get him drafted earlier than a majority of his fellow backs in this class, meaning he can obtain some serious value on that alone. Not sure if he can become a three-down back but the opportunity is potentially there. Let’s hope he can stay healthier than his brother does.

2.12 Christian Watson

I was excited to see Christian Watson slip down to me at the last pick of the 2nd round. Watson is a 6’5 wide receiver that ran a 4.36 40-yard dash at the combine. He has large hands and a large catch radius to go with his size and those hands. He has shown a great deal of versatility in receiving, rushing, and in the return game. He showed improved route running in his final collegiate season and will continue to do so on shorter routes. I’m very excited to add a wideout with his physical attributes and upside to finish out the 2nd round here.

Stay tuned for Round 3. You can recap Round 1 here.
