the industry reviewing adp from rookie mock drafts, primarily from Sleeper, who I
think is the most accurate or worthwhile to reference to this point of the offseason.
Just a great resource not only to play or host your leagues on,
but utilized for news. Mock drafts, startup draft, you name it.

time slot on my calendar. Let's get right to it. The first under
the Radar prospect four twenty twenty four is Joe Milton, third out of Tennessee.
He turned twenty four in March. He spent three years with Michigan and
then three with Tennessee. In his college tenure six five two thirty five,
so a rare physical specimen for a quarterback coming out of school. Thirty five
inx vertical ten foot one inx broad jump showed off his arm strength at the
combine with deep passes. He has an absolute canifer an arm, which is
a positive trait. However, it's without defenders or a pass rush that he
showcased it turn his work out of the combine. It's a completely different story
in real game action. He still has the potential to use his arm for
good as opposed to bad in terms of decision making your turnovers, but when
you have defenders actually running towards you, that isn't as easy. Any quarterback
can chuck it downfield on a pro day or a combine workout. Think Zach
Wilson or Daniel Jones, and they declare for the NFL, So that in
and of itself doesn't guarantee success for Joe Milton. Me or you could go
outside right now and throw football as far as we can. Is it going
to be fifty sixty yards if not further than the air? No, we
don't have the arm strength of someone like Milton. But you understand the point
I'm trying to get across. From a pure context perspective, Joe Milton reminds
me of Anthony Richardson in terms of being a developmental talent with as I mentioned,
rare athletic ability for a quarterback. Milton does struggle when it comes to
mechanics, timing, accuracy, and even touched to all levels of the field,
short and immediate or deep. Despite being intriguing and undeniable physical traits that
mak him a dual threat talent passer and rusher, He's received for the most
part, Day three draft grades. I do believe that a team is a
fan of Milton his potential ability to develop into a starter eventually, not to
mention improvise with his legs. Then I want to be surprised if he sneaks
into the Day two mix in a best case scenario. Potentially here's his name
called in round three, but more realistically round four or later. In terms
of his stats last year, Milton through for twenty asian thirteen yards, twenty
touchdowns of five interceptions, sixty four point seven percentage completion rate, seven point
nine arcs pass attempt and then seventy eight two ninety nine and seven as a
rusher. That is where he's going to thrive in fantasy. I've the chance
to start at the professional level. Career wise, he completed sixty one and
a half percent of his passes one hundred and fifty past attempts and at thirty
seven touchdowns to eleven interceptions. That solid production across the board. PFF.
That's Pro Football Focus said he completed only thirty eight point six percent of his
passes ten or more yards downfield last season, and that is the uncertainty baked
in to Joe Milton. Can he actually air it out with accuracy? Once
again, a strong arm is only relevant if there is touch linked to it
to hit receivers or tight ends, even running backs into flat to the short,
intermediate or deep levels of the field. Otherwise, arrant or inaccurate passes
will do no good in the NFL. He's best viewed in my mind as
a backup for NFL purposes, who is a high risk, high reward third
round selection for US in superflex donastage drafts. Fantasy value is going to be
contingent or tied to the rushing output. And of course I did compare him
to ar On the Colts, as like a best case scenario, the draft
capital will not be there. Regardless, the comp to Richardson or even a
throwback of Cam Newton makes a lot of sense when you watch what Joe Milton
could do and what he did for primarily Tennessee to make him a worthwhile candidate
to be drafted in twenty twenty four. Tyrone Tracy Junior out of Purdue.
He'll be twenty five in November. That's advanced age for a running back prospect.
He's actually converted wide receiver to running back four years with Iowa and then
to of Purdue. He's five eleven two oh nine good build, four point
fourty eight to forty one point five three second ten yards split, forty inch
vertical, and a ten foot four inge broad jump, along with a six
point eight one seconds three con drill. Those are standout numbers in seemingly every
category or major positional drill. At the combine. That being said, Tyrone
Tracy Junior is not really receiving a ton of buzz or interest from what I
can see in the fantasy community, let alone for many scouts. This is
a nice hitting gem to keep top of mind come the third or fourth round
of you rookie drafts. We'll see where he's draft in real life to dictate
that value post draft. Nonetheless, Tyrone Tracy Junior offers a blend of power,
speed, and vision long strides that really do showcase his explosiveness downfield.
A versatile talent, as I mentioned, a former wide receiver, so the
pass kicking chops are there. Good rusher. However, twenty twenty three was
actually his first season exclusively at running back, so he's still learning the ins
and outs of the position. Nowhere near a finished product in that regard,
Tracy's tape is full of agility, spin moves, tackle breaks, jump cuts.
He's a very fluid running back with plenty of acceleration. I think acceleration
is the best superlative or acjetivity. Describe Tyrone Tracy Junior and what he's put
on film at Purdue for us to watch even at Iowa as a wide receiver.
Stylistically, Tracy reminds me of cam Akers as a prospect out of college
let alone, when he was a coveted asset with the Rams before he tours
Achilles, and even with the Viking same story. Cammakers unfortunately has seen his
career derail due to injury, but out of Florida State, he was someone
that a lot of us were excited about and there was RB one hopes or
desires, if not value in Dynasty at one point. If you watch Tyrone
Tracy Junior, it's hard not to see this same stylist approach to the RB
position. It's almost a spinning image in my mind if you watch tape of
them back to backer side by side. Tracy last year Perdue went one thirteen,
seven, sixteen, and eight six point three yards per clip and then
nineteen grabs for about thirty two. A few career numbers showcase limited volume.
He had one hundred and forty six career rushes for six and a half yards
per carry efficient but not a ton of volume to work with. And then
one hundred and thirteen total receptions, which showcases his wide receiver first or pass
catching first traits. And that's why I'm excited from a fantasy perspective. Sure,
Tracy Junior is probably going to be a fourth, fifth, sixth round
pick in real life if not undrafted, but I think there's enough buzz or
built in steam around his stock within draft circles for him to be drafted,
projects to be an RBBC member at the next level with late round appeal for
US and donastuberge drafts, particularly in full PPR formast because the usage in the
NFL, if he's ever relevant, will start with his pass catching mentality and
adept experience or pedigree out of Iowa and Purdue. The rushing ability is a
work in progress. There's enough to like when featured apt Purdue this past season
with those one hundred and thirteen rushes for six point three yards per carry,
but the sample size is small, hence why there's a limited shelf live opportunity
here. Tracy's going to be twenty five in November, meaning are we going
to have two three years relevancy or maybe one or two NFL contracts. That's
the one downside. But he's under the radar because he could easily land in
the right system and be fantasy viable as a rookie in twenty twenty four.
It's time for a quick break of three more under betar prospects for you to
monitor and keep tabs on for when this month's NFL Draft takes place. Before

you'll regret it. We'll be right back after a quick break. Cody Schrader
out of Missouri is twenty five September. Another older rookie running back than you'd
like to see, but there's enough juice and excitement from what he's done with
Missouri for me to be bought. In five eight two oho two. The
athletic profile does not stand out four point sixty point forty one point five five
second ten yards split thirty three vertical meaning over Atleticism is not as calling card,
but he makes up for it with good field vision and quick decision making
a one cut runner no nonsense behind the line of scrimmage. Who gets a
job done. There is three down upside in Trader skill sets. The odds
are working against him to fulfill that kind of roll as a pro. However,
selling in the sec helps to make a case for him day two or
day three consideration for draft capital purposes. He's best suited for an outside zone
running scheme. Power downhill style initiates contact good yarder to contact ability, solid
pass blocker could help him see the fielder out of the gate in an RBBC
SQ role. He does rely on volume him to get in a groove or
rhythm, but there's burst, there's good bounce in his step. The juice
I mentioned and the change direction skills are self evident. When you fire up
any film of Strader during his time Missouri, the tape is reminiscent of Jalen
Warren and the size is actually very similar. So once again, Cody Strader
five eight two oh two Jalen Warren five A two fifteen. So Warren's got
a little bit more bulk or weight to him, doesn't mean that Trader can't
add a few pounds, assuming he's drafted or a prior to u DFA.
The production is what stands out most, and I think that if you are
interested or invested in Schrader in dynasty leagues, you're betting on said production over
analytics because, as I mentioned, the athletic profile does not stand out,
but he pass is the eye test on film. He went two seventy six,
sixteen, twenty seven, and fourteen for five point nine ms per clip
and twenty two grabs for but ninety one. That's almost north of two hundred
and eighty rushes, almost seventeen hundred dollars rushing, and fourteen touchdowns sec level
competition. Cody Schrader is one of the best kept secrets at running back among
rookies in twenty twenty four and someone that I will be targeting often in the
third or fourth round of my rookie drafts. I hope that he ends up
being a fourth or fifth round pick. If it's any later, then the
success or hit rate will decrease in probability. That being said, Isaiah mc
checko is a glaring example of seventh round draft capital in real life. Who
is now a starter in a top five offensive football So don't write off a
prospect or running back for that matter, because of draft capital. More on,
INFL teams are becoming aware that allocating early draft capital will say Day one
or early day two isn't the best course of action because they can be had
as much cheaper investments in mid to eight day, two, day three or
freegancy. You don't have to pay running backs the same as quarterbacks, wide
receivers, tight ends, or defensive side of the ball, So keep that
in mind. Don't be discouraged, especially in this year's deemed weak running back
class, if we only see a few names second or third round, if
any at all, there's plenty of untapped potential and value to be had in
our rookie drafts. One quarterback super flex come to second, third, fourth,
or fifth round to use draft capital on running backs. Don't write off
the class entirely because it's not chalk full of top tier prospects like last year
Bijon or Jamiir Gibbs. So that is Cody Schrader on Missouri again as a
quick recap, I think that he is reminiscent of Jalen Warren, who another
example, was not hoighly deemed out of the college level, yet found a
really prominent role with the Pittsburgh Steelers. We've seen it time and time again
where all running back needs his opportunity at the pro level to surface and become
relevant. The next under the radar prospect is Anthony Gould out of Oregon State.
His age is unconfirmed. I've seen anywhere from twenty two to twenty four,
so it'll be twenty five on some websites, so that is not well
documented on the internet. We'll find out eventually. He's five to eight one
seventy four his speedster, but the lack of size it stands out as a
possible concern. Yet I'm not necessarily going to write him off. That's why
he's a sleeper underrated prospect for me, because he worked outside for most of
his college tenure, with additional proven ability to win out of the slot with
his top tier speed four point three nine forty a Blazer one point four nine
second, ten yard splits getting off the line of scrimmage, fast creating separation,
thirty nine Halvings vertical and ten foot nine x broad jump. In my
mind, he's a cheaper discount version of Troy Franklin, who I am out
out on at cost. I know some people valuement is the top five wide
receiving in isstr's class. I simply cannot get up board in that kind of
evaluation. If it's top ten, top fifteen. Then I'm in on Franklin,
but not top five, and I know some people really adore skill sets.
I would wait till the fourth fifth round of Roky Draft and bet on
someone like goul who might not be all that far off in draft capal.
There's a lot of buzz around what Goule brings to the table. Because of
his prolific speed, he creates EA separation and that is huge because it could
lead to less impact or hard hits on the field. At five eight one
seventy four, you don't want to see him be exposed to getting drilled by
defenders who are half, if not three quarters heavier in weight, or Anthony
could find himself on a sideline injured. Based on film, he's giving off
some Brandon Cooks vibes, who also coincidentally was out of Oregon States. Even
Tank Dell or Marquis Brown are realistic comparisons for Anthony Gould. His production in
twenty twenty three checks in at forty four for seven eighteen and two for sixteen
point three yards per catch. It's a situation where his tape is more valuable
in my mind than output reliable weapon Downfield, who, as I described played
primarily outside for Oregon States, yet can also be utilized on out or breaking
routes, even comeback routes because of the speed and separation skills. He is
a really good contributor on special teams as well, and it could not being
his immediate path to relevancy at the pro level. He had twenty six career
pupper turns in school. One flaw or red flag outside of size is that
Gould often body catches the football, which you don't want to see because it
leads to inconsistencies with hands, bobbles or drop passes. But all in all,
Anthony Goold is someone I have fairly low in my rankings because it's just
such a deep load to wide receiver class. But I'm growing more and more
optimistic about based on positive chatter I've seen and going back to more and more
of his film to see that, yes, the tape actually stands out more
than production, which is sometimes a byproduct of offensive scheme or a lack of
usage. Last, but not least, Eric All out of Iowa. He's
twenty four in September. He actually spent four years with Michigan and then one
with Iowa. Six four two fifty two. He's only had ten games played
the past two seasons. He had a season ending back injury in twenty twenty
two and then a torenty ACL last year. Prior to to twenty a CL
he had twenty one grabs for two ninety nine and three for fourteen point two
yards per catch. All is at his best. He's a tight end by
the way in the open field with notable short area quickness, natural receiving instincts
after the ketch. As a seam stretcher, he's elusive for his size and
allows him to run expanded routree for a tight end, and he's an absolute
force to be reckoned with as an outlet in the flat. He does bring
physicality as a blocker, not the best. Some refinement there is need that's
the case for most college tight end prospects. He is really good after to
catch with that physicality. All's hands are remarkable in terms of making acrobatic catches,
but there is some inconsistency for being a quote unquote pass catching tight end
since he sometimes drops easy passes, which is inexcusable when you have a smaller
sample size like him. On tape to base an evaluation off of now,
assuming health cooperates, I fully expect Eric All to become a better pro than
college athlete or producer. If an NFL team wants to shoot for the moon
and bet on a ceiling, then don't be surprised if All is a Day
two selection and a best case scenario when he could then skyrocket up our ranks.
In doynasy rookie drafts, I will say the twenty twenty four rookie tight
end class is not loaded. It's brock Boers, then a cluster of athletic
tight ends like Theo Johnson, Ben Sinnett, jahem Bell to name a few,
and then a lot of unknown commodities or pure bets on development. Eric
All fits to that ladder category. Yet we haven't really seen enough of him.
The most important step for him in the pre draft process was gaining medical
clearance at the combine, and for what it sounds like, these all systems
go from the back injury and the ACL. Hopefully he's drafted because Iowa produces
nflready talent, as we've seen with George Kittle or Noah Fan in the past,
most relevant and recent being Samuel Porter, who's now a superstar in real
life of fantasy alike, not declaring that Eric All is going to be in
those conversations of amazing tight ends. Even so, he should be on your
mind as an under the radar prospect that will do it. Hope you all
enjoyed this week's episode Some Sleeper under the Radar twenty twenty four rookies that maybe
your lead mats are sleeping on or people aren't giving enough praise recognition to a
quick recap of off five names, they were once again, quarterback Joe Milton
the third out of Tennessee, running back Tybrow and Tracy Junior out of Purdue,
running back Cody Schrader out of Missouri, wide receiver Anthony Gould Oregon State,
and tight end Eric out of Iowa. Thank you all for listening.
