Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Do podcast. I'm your host, Korey
Evans. Thank you so much for listening. This week, it's episode three
and seventy three, title five Polarizing twenty twenty three Prospects. We're about that
point here where the NFL combine is behind us. NFL Draft is fast approaching
at the end of this month, so it's peak offseason time to discuss prospects.
All of my paid content around Patreon is the focal point of my rookie
coverage and the only place you'll find my pre draft and post draft rankings by
position in both Excel and audio spoken form, But of course I will cover
prospects on my free content from time to time, this week being one of
those instances. Five names that are polarizing, meaning there are varying viewpoint on
their draft outlook, what their draft capital could amount to, and or their
skill sets, and that's always a fun point to make for debate for the
sake of an episode. Before I get to that, there were three five
starter reviews left on Apple Podcasts this week. Each deserve a shout out.
First was by this guy, titled great Information in a Concise Manner. It
read the personalized roster calls are also unique and a really cool feature. Keep
up the great work. Thank you for that review and appreciate the shout out
for my roster calls. Those are a service that I offer in thirty minute
or one hour windows over on Google Meet. So I appreciate that review and
you calling out you enjoyed your roster call. Next was by Taylor maid two
titled best Dynasty Podcast. It read, dude has some great points in his
shows, love it quick and simple. I will continue to listen and use
his information to win the league every single year. Thanks Bro, really appreciate
the kind words. Your support is very much appreciated. And lastly by Stephen
Seer title Big Fan. This quick, concise podcast is a great way to
start your week and learn some Dynasty strategy. Thank you, Stephen. All
Right, as promised, I'm going to announce the March contest winners for a
free Google Meet thirty minute roster call. One is from a new review that
was left in March, and the other is from an old review prior to
March that helped me hit the six hundred review milestone over an Apple podcast.
Thank you all so much who contributed by some mid reviews, either this past
month or over the years. They were done completely random via Microsoft can sell
a formula that I input to generate a winner for each category. The new
review winner is actually Taylor may two, who's on this podcast as a shout
out, So Taylor may two, please reach out to me and we will
schedure your call accordingly. And the older view is Grenade Drake. So Grenade
Drake also hit me up and we'll schedure a thirty minute call for free.

a reminder to the only spot you'll find my pre draft and post draft rookie
rankings. Let's get right to it. Five polarizing twenty twenty three prospects up.
First, Stetson Bennett, quarterback out of Georgia. He's five eleven,
one ninety two pounds interesting athletic profile despite his size concerns with a four point
six seven forty yard dash, thirty three and a half inch vertical and nine
foot ten inch broad jump. Those numbers cast aside some skeptic viewpoints that Bennett
is not athletic. Those are solid numbers for that body frame. He brings
a dual threat skill set to the table, along with leadership qualities that NFL
teams covets at the quarterback position, and sometimes it was intangibles outweigh a few
of the physical traits of the quarterback has up their sleeve. He won back
to back national championships with Georgia in Built twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two,
along with being a Heisman Trophy finalist last year. Setton Bennett is a
legitimate talent. He doesn't have the strongest arm, admittedly, but he's a
sound decision maker who can extend plays with his legs and escape when the pocket
is collapsing. He essentially operates as a running back with some of his cutback
and ducability, which is what made him a unique and talented fit for Georgia's
off fence. Let's look back over its past two seasons of output twenty twenty
one two eight hundred and sixty two yards passing twenty nine touchdowns, seven interceptions,
sixty four and a half compleach percentage rates ten yards perpess attempt twenty twenty
two four thousand, one hundred twenty seven yards passing twenty seven touchdowns to seven
picks sixty eight point three complete, a percenting rate almost a seventy percent clip
nine point one entrepase attempt, stellar campaigns back to back. From a fantasy
perspective, Stetson's rushing ability should catch our attention most after his twenty twenty two
out point in the ground A fifty seven two oh five, and ten reports
after the NFL combine have indicated that franchise is truly due view Bennett as a
starter at the next level or a bridge option who could develop into a starter,
so a backup that blossoms eventually as opposed to a sub package weapon in
the Taysom Hill range of outcomes comparisons. In fact, Stetson is officially met
with ten teams. It's a sign that he's being looked at as either a
high end backup or potential starter at the pro level. Eventually, mel Kiper
is projecting him to be selected between rounds four to six, which made Bennett
somewhat of a polarizing prospect and fits this criteria even with his clear talents and
pedigree from Georgia. If the four to sixth round grade is accurate and he's
selective within that range, then him becoming a starter is going to be a
slow or long term process. However, if he is in the three to
four round range, then that could become expedited or quicker, so sets in
Bennett is someone to monitor closely in superflex leagues. Would not surprising me if
he creeps into the late first round depending on where he's drafted, But for
now, Pencilman is a second round lock and superflex through to that rushing upside.
Sean Tucker, running back out of Syracuse is five nine two oh seven.
He received an NFL combine invites, but he himself said was not able
to participate due to a medical exclusion. Now what that means exactly is unclear
has not been specified at this point in time. Nonetheless, it creates obvious
uncertainty about his potential draft capital and durability without full medical clearance at this point
in the offseason, so close to the draft itself. That being said,
Tucker made the most of a less than optimal situation and went to social media
post a video of all testing he would have done or completed at the combine.
Take this with a grain. Assaults and stay are all unofficial times,
but he had a four point three three forty yard dash would have been second
behind all running backs not named Divine eight chain at four point three two seconds,
and a forty one and a half inch vertical would have been first among
all running backs in Indianapolis. Shawn Tucker is an exceptional running back prospect,
and those numbers line up of what I've seen on tape. He's my RB
four in pre draft rankings over on Patrion could find those in detailed formats.
Now, the question is were those numbers unofficially way off or close to what
he actually could perform when he's measured by the Layser system With the NFL or
scouts that have experience of tracking accurate data, we might not ever receive an
answer to those questions. Get us encouraging that Tucker is healthy enough to post
that on social media, and what point or incentives you have to lie about
it doesn't make a lot of sense, so I believe he's telling the truth
for the most parts. Shawn spent three seasons with the Syracuse Orange while emerging
over the past two years, most notably twenty twenty one a two forty six
fourteen ninety six twelve rushing line six point one yards per tote. Filed suit
in twenty twenty two with a two of US six ten sixty eleven rushing log
five point one yards per clip. Sixty four career receptions showcases he has freed
on upside. He brings a unique mixture of patient starts, stoppability, and
acceleration on his resume as a running back prospect. He fits under the polarising
label because his draft stock is completely up in the air without actually performing at
the combine. The social media post with evidence of him doing the tests are
great and all, but it wasn't Indianapolis with all eyes on him. I
remain optimistic about Tucker and expect him to be a first round lock in rookie
drafts when it comes to one quarterback formats super flex perhaps back end of the
first, top of the second, but draft capital will dictate a lot for
the sake of his outlook. How about Zack Evans, running back out of
ole Miss. He's five eleven, two hundred and two pounds did not test
the NFL Combine. NFL Scout registered, however, a four point four eight
forty yard dash time four. Evans had his pro day, which is a
terrific number for that body frame again, five eleven, two oh two.
He spent two seasons but TCU before transferring to ole Miss for last year.
While with TCU for twenty twenty to twenty twenty one, Evans served a limited
role that I'm mounted to a high level of efficiency yarber carry averages seven point
seven and seven point o over that span of time. Fast forward to twenty
twenty two with ole Miss, and Zach demonstrated what he's capable of with additional
volume one forty four nine thirty six nine on the ground for six and a
half yards per carry. He was not utilized all that much as a receiver
at the collegiate level with thirty career catches, he did make the most of
his target opportunities and could become more of a three down threat at the NFL
levels. To appear fluid as a pass catcher out of the backfield. There
was a lack of targets, not necessarily skill sets for him as a pass
catcher. There's some Travis ETN five ten to fifteen to what Zack Evans has
to offer. He's five eleven two O two so really wait only thing separating
him in ETN when it comes to quick feet, great vision inside the tackles
or bouncing outside the edge, and home runability to score touchdown. Zach Evans
has that big plate element working in his favor. Zach is polarizing because it's
not clear if his feature back attributes are viewed as transferable to the pro level.
His draft capital has a wide range of outcomes, but it would not
surprise me the Dyans community ends up to him as a first round lock in
rookie drafts, similar to Seawan Tucker. But even in super flex, I
could see Zach Evans catapulting some other running backs wide receivers becoming a mid to
late first round selection in one quarterback formats, I'd be shocked if Evans was
not a first round lock. Especially continues to generate more and more steam heading
to the draft and most likely after it as well. It's time for a
quick break, and I have two more names of prospects to break down who
are polarizing with either a really high ceiling or a questionably low floor. Tank
Biggs Beat, running back out of Auburn, is a next discussion. Point
six feet, two hundred and ten pounds with a four point five six forty
yard dash at the combine. He then ran unofficial four point four six forty
yard dash as a pro day, So somewhere in between that range is realistic.
I remember back in twenty twenty even twenty twenty one, when Biggs Beat
took the college football seam by storm, being regarded as one of the top
running backs in the nation before losing some of the win in the sales.
This past year after Auburn was a disappointment on offense. Let's look back edis
three years of production one by one twenty twenty a one thirty eight to eight
thirty four five rushing line, six yards per carry, twenty twenty one,
two twenty three, ten ninety nine ten with four point nine yards per clip.
That was his breakout campaign twenty twenty two a back seat some regression,
one seventy nine nine seventy ten touchdowns, again five point four yards per carry,
so we see some peaks in valleys. From twenty twenty and twenty twenty
two. He was not necessarily all consistent, but the upside is self explanatory.
He's under appreciated as well as a receiver with sixty two career receptions over
that three year time span. I personally think that Tank is perhaps the most
overlooked complete running back talent in the twenty twenty three class. Thanks was ability
to run tall, sudden burst and is not afraid to initiate contact either creates
Chunk plays regularity to it at the set of speed in the four four six
to four five six range. At six foot two ten, that's rare.
Simply put, we haven't seen it bringing back prospect with Tank Basbi's makeup at
that six foot two ten frame and quite some time usually sub six or two
hundred two hundred and five pounds range to be in that straight line speed area
or mix. He fits in the polar rising conversation for me because mock drafts
have him estimated as both a Day two and Day three draft pick to spikes
and encourage the predraft process and a solid resume from Auburn I really think that
these running backs have discussed on this show, Sean Tucker, Zack Evans,
and think Biggsby could fluctuate quite a bit over the next month post NFL draft,
and there's a lot of fluidity to rank them accordingly. It's hard to
do so beforehand. Everybody has a concrete answer for any of those three prospect
names. They're lying to you because we need to see how actual decision makers
evaluate them. If there's full medical clearance of Shawn Tucker, he's going to
be the highest of these three. But at the same time, it does
not really surprise me or it won't surprise me if Evans or Bigsby end up
with higher draft capital. Hence, they're all polarizing yet will have potentially immediate
fantasy impact, which is really exciting from our point of view in Dynasty or
anyone holding a first or second round three draft pick this year. And last
button least it is Parker Washington, wide receiver out of Penn States, five
ten, two hundred four pounds who did not test at the Combine due to
rehab me from a season ending ankle injury in twenty twenty two. He's one
of my favorite top sleepers among twenty wide receivers, a spectrum when it comes
to slot threats where Washington should continue to thrive if he brings the same level
of his accality to the pro levels he's played on the college landscape. It's
one of his best attributes or traits as a receiver. Became a focal point
of Penn State's passing attack of the past two seasons, with receiving logs of
sixty four eight twenty and four in twenty twenty one and forty six six eleven
two in twenty twenty two. He recorded one thousand, six hundred and fifty
two yards out of the slot alone. Since twenty twenty, go figure ranks
first among Big ten wide receivers per PF. That's Pro Football Focus. Parker
is at his best after the catch, when he improvises and allows his football
instincts to take over. Truly has natural ball skills that are evident on tape.
He has glue for hands and actually plays larger than his size in terms
of body positioning. Contested catches fifty fifty balls only five ten, two hundred
and four pounds. We don't have athletic measureables available to confirm but based on
his tape, I would have expected Washington to test really well with the potential
for some elite traits in terms of suddenness, agility, lateral movement, mint,
so he could have tested really well in the three cone drill like Jackson
Smith and Jigba. But unfortunately Parker Washington is rehabbing, so we don't have
those concrete numbers available at this time. If he slides to late day two,
even day three, then Parker will be more than likely overlooked in Dynasty,
Rookie ADP, and drafts altogether. Be that as it may, He's
going to be a consistent target of mine come the third round of any format,
potentially even sliding to the fourth in some leagues because of the product he
put on film. At Penn States, and Penn State is wide receiver university,
they churn out prospects pro ready left and rights. Hopefully Washington is next
in line. Just last year was John Dotson, with plenty of examples and
success stories well before him. Parker is still polarizing for fans football purposes because
he could have returned to Penn States and been possibly a top receiver to Claire
for twenty twenty four instead of receiving mixed grades for twenty twenty three. In
other words, he's better on himself, which could or could not pan out
in this will say mediocre twenty twenty three wide receiver class. It's a bit
top heavy, so Washington could certainly benefit from that take advantage if he ends
up being second, third, fourth brown pick time will tell that will do
it. Hope you'll enjoy my five polarizing twenty twenty three Prospect episode quick recap.
It was Stetson Bennett quarterback out of Georgia, Sean Tucker running back out
of Syracuse, Zach Evans running back out of Old Miss Tank bigs Beat running
back out of Auburn, and Parker Washington wide receiver out of Penn States.
