is upon us and behind us, I will then start to release in tiers
by position my pre draft rankings. All right, let's get right to it,
though. Five post hype trade targets no specific order. Here we go.
First name I talked about I think in late December or early January.
To name I want to bring back up again because I'm even more confident now
in his outlook. It is j Dotson. He's twenty three in March,
a thirty five twenty three seven receiving line fourteen point nine yards pertetch that was
on sixty one targets in twelve games played in his rookie campaign. He was
a sixteenth overall pick last year out of Penn States. Has a chance,
in my mind, to establish himself as wide receiver one for Washington, ahead
of Terry mclauren. If not, worst case one beats mclauren's one A,
it's pretty clear that's a good duo that the commanders have at their disposal.
It sounds as if Washington is intent or sold on moving forward. But Sam
Howell a quarterback which should be an upgrade over Carson Wentz and Taylor Heineke based
on his versatility and accuracy a sixty three point eight career completed percentage rates at
North Carolina. It was an incredibly small sample size we saw to Howell in
twenty twenty two. Yeah, it was enough for Ron rivera head coach,
and others upper front office and the Brass organization to have the confidence and faith
to move forward with Howell as the presumed starter. Now, of course,
that could be a bluff for them to move up on draft Day Day one
to a top five to ten for one of the cream of the crop quarterbacks
or prospects in this year's class, or even bringing a veteran, But for
now we have to assume that Sam Howell is going to get his fair share
at QB one status. Dotson's build was fair to criticize last year as a
pure prospect only five eleven, one, eighty two, but his collegiate success
at Penn State indicated that his size did not matter. He was a transcendent
talent with transferable skills to the pro level. He went ninety one, eleven,
eighty two, twelve, and twenty twenty one for the Nitney Lions.
Speed also stood out with a four point four three forty yard dash along with
notable burst and explosion visible when he tested let alone on tape, thirty six
inch vertical and a ten foot one inch broad jump for his stature, those
are really good numbers. I'm willing to spend or allocate a mid to late
twenty twenty three first for Jehan this offseason. Compared to will say wide receiver
prospects in twenty twenty three, Dotson ranks behind only Jackson Smithing, Jigba Json,
Jalen Hyatt, Quentin Johnston, Zay Flowers for me, so I'd say
a fair value comp pickwise and early rookie ADP would be Jordan Addison, projected
to be mid to late first, if not high second, depending if you're
in a ten or twelve teen league. John Dodson is well worth that price
of admission to acquire him in dynasty based on age, college resume, and
his early NFL success in less than ideal quarterback environment surrounding him. So I'm
a fan of Dotson. I was pre draft, but I wasn't willing to
spend what was essentially a mid first in a loaded class last year. Twenty
twenty three isn't as deep overall as twenty twenty two, particularly at wide receiver.
It's different when it comes to quarterback, running back at tight end.
But if we compare apples to apples wide receiver class twenty twenty two twenty twenty
three, twenty twenty two was deeper, so Dotson being a premium last year
to make much sense. But this year I think it's a different story.
Breese Haw another rookie from last season twenty two in May in eighty four sixty
three four rushing log good for five point eight yards per totes and then a
nineteen two eighteen one receiving line on thirty one targets that was all in seven
games played before Terran, as we know his ACL second round pick thirty six
overall out of Iowa State. A case can be made to rank Breese as
RB one overall in Dynasty here right now among a few other names will say
b John Robinson already, If not johnthan Taylor, Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley,
even some younger names like Kenneth Walker or Travis etn So. Attempting to
buy shares while Breeze's value was taking a slight hit or at least perceived dip
in value after injury could prove to be a worthwhile long term investment in his
career arc. At this point, most reports indicate that Hall suffered a clean
ACL tear, unlike as we know Javanta Williams, which gives Breese a realistic
shot to return for either training camp or preseason. If not right around week
one, the workload remains to be seen. It could be a work in
progress in terms of preserving his knees long term health. Remember, Breee is
a home run hitter who checks in at six one two twenty four point three
forty inch vertical and a ten foot six inch broad jump, which led to
him dominating at the college level. His last two rushing logs were two seventy
nine fifteen seventy two twenty one and then two fifty three fourteen seventy two twenty
in addition to eighty two receptions in three seasons. Simply remarkable college rusher and
on NFL's Next Gen Stats, their new model they've sextually created over the past
few seasons, but been implemented at least a past year. To the public,
he scored a ninety nine overall prospects score definition of elites. That is
the highest possible score you can get because a hundred it would mean a perfect
prospect, which does not exist. That is a model that I'll be referencing
a lot of my content because I think it's really good, big picture indicator
of a prospect's upside a potential. Once again, it's the NFL Next Gen
Stats, their prospects score a factors in their production, athleticism, things of
that nature. More on that later, though. Back to Hall, He's
a big threat waiting to happen anytime he touches the football. His longest rush
was sixty two yards. Longest catch seventy nine yards during his a Breid rookie
campaign in the NFL last season. Now, I have to be realistic.
It's not all sunshine Rainbow's four haul. He's still recovering from a twenty ascl
which comes with some level of uncertainty or fear of re injury or setback,
not to mention it's out of a night. Having a modest success last year
eighty five three hundred and one on the ground thirteen grabs one hundred yards,
his presence does not concern me as much as Michael Carter, who could have
an initial workload egge over Breeze to start twenty twenty three. To Penny on
As, I mentioned that ACL timetable or even the Jets taking a cautious approach
to make sure he's back at one hundred percent or awful close to it.
In terms of what do I give up to trade for Breeze Hall right now
in a one quarterback league, I would say pick one oh two or beyond.
It's fair game one oh one I think is locked in for Bejan at
this point Bjo Robinson, no questions asked, and then superflex pick one oh
four or after makes sense after Bejean Robinson, Bryce Young, TJ. Stroud
right in that value range. Up next is Rashad Bateman twenty three years old,
twenty seventh overall selection in twenty twenty one out of Minnesota. He was
a big slot mismatch at six one one ninety three or even possesses the dangerous
tools to become an established outside receiver, but at this point he does not,
having a fine role at the NFL level. One flaw in his raft
profile was overall leticism. He received a seventy seven score area on the next
Gen Stats model, which falls into their good category. From context, it
is scaled as below average, average, good, and elite, So once
again Rashod Bateman landed in good when it comes to athletic ability. The reason
why I say that was a red flags because usually first round my receivers are
closer to the top of the good scale or an elite territory. Rashad's couch
output also to not help matters. He went fifty one seven or four six
sixty twelve nineteen eleven and thirty six four seventy two two volada all over the
map. There was not a lot of consistency, but despite those incertinities,
it was easy to notice Bateman's protectional on tape, and that is clearly what
Baltimore did and prioritized him accordingly by selecting him in the first round. Let's
look back at twenty twenty one twenty twenty two. Is production so far as
a pro twenty twenty one forty six five fifteen and one for eleven point two
yards sixty eight targets in twelve games played last year fifteen two eighty five to
nineteen yards pertect so we see the big playability on display twenty eight targets and
only seven games played. A lack of durability has cost Bateman valuable reps and
playing time during both his rookie and sophomore seasons. Fortunately, the Ravens sport
one of the NFL's weakest wide receiver rooms or DUP charts, so target share
and opportunity should not be an issue. If for Shot is able to remain
on the field right now, his liability is a lack of availability, and
that at times is one of the best trades an NFL player can offer.
Availability. However, based on pure opportunity, Bateman has a lot working in
his favor and then we have the new OC Todd Mockham has been brought in
could unleash Baltimore's passing attack. As you might remember recently Georgia's offensive coordinated for
twenty twenty twenty two at the college level. But after two back to back
disappointing NFL campaigns, Bateman stock has lost some luster that makes him a post
type trade candidates for a hopeful year three breakout. There are some other variables
he does not control in that equation, such as Lamar Jackson's contract status.
He wants a fully guaranteed contract like de Shaun Watson. The Ravens might not
be willing to anti up to give Lamar what he wants in that regard,
so he could be franchise tagged or even traded. That's a lot up in
the air that we don't know the answer to at this point in time.
But Rashad Bateman the player, I'm talking to him for a late first or
early to mid second, and I'd be closer to starting negotiations on that mid
to early second line of his value proposition, because a first round pick in
this year's class holds immense value, whereas Bateman now has two years baked into
his name of uncertain value in Dynasty, So I'd rather keep a first than
pay it for Bateman, but a second is much more reasonable and realistic.
It is time for a quick break. I'll be back with two more post
hype trade targets for your consideration in Dynasty. Next on the agenda is a
name that we are starting to have some fatigue with in terms of failing to
meet expectations radp, but the player himself is still very talented. It is
Kyle Pitts. He's twenty two fourth overall pick in twenty twenty one from Florida.
In hindsights, spending a premium on tight end comes with inherent risk,
even with strong production from Pitts to close out his career with the Gators,
he went fifty four, sixty nine five, and forty three seven seventy to
close out his college career. Even so, we've seen inconsistencies at the pro
level. Twenty twenty one a sixty eight ten, twenty six one rookie line,
fifteen point one yards perception, one hundred and ten targets in seventeen games
played. Twenty twenty two, Pits went backwards in value and on fieldability twenty
eight three fifty six and two as a receiver twelve point seven yards per grab
and then fifty nine targets in only ten games played. He tores MCL that's
a fluke for the most part, can't really predict that happening. Even so,
he's an offensive nightmare at six six two forty six with a ninety eight
overall score in the next gen stats model like Breeze Hall, that is an
amazing elite scorer for Kyle Pitts compared rookie adp However, Pitts has been a
colossal bust since becoming professional. It's not all as fault. Atlanta has not
featured him extensively in the passing game, and his knee injury cost him most
of twenty twenty two especially put a sour taste in our mouth for a fantasy
football playoff structu run talent. It's not the issue of Pits, it's usage,
it's role, it's tired share based which are all areas of improvements that
could change in the matter of one offseason, based on game plan, personnel
changes. The list goes on and on. His rookie season actually met or
exceed in most expectations for counting stats with almost seventy receptions over a thousand yards
receiving the one touchdown is what put a bad association or connotation two Kyle Pits
based on him being the overall pick back in twenty twenty one. Quite honestly,
if you could pencil in almost seventy eighty receptions a thousand yards and we'll
just say positive regression four to five touchdowns earing your out for Pits, sign
me up as the future tight end one in Dynasty without much question or resitation.
The issue is twenty twenty two took a step back, and now his
outlook is not as crystal clear as we once thought it was As an elite
tight end prospect. Twenty twenty two is not a solid enough sample size to
form a concrete opinion on either. Since Atlanta was a run centric team under
Marcus Mariota, they not let him unleash the passing attack. Twenty twenty three
could look completely different with dosen't Ritter at quarterback or even another veteran rookie brought
in. Don't get me wrong, I fully back the Falcon's to pace as
a run football team. Maybe a sixty forty seventy thirty split ideally fifty fifty.
Yet it's hard to project that under Arthur Smith. No matter what,
there's plenty of passing game volume to share between Pitts and Drake London to reach
a high stat ceiling. That's why I'm buying into Pits and still anteing up
at a relative premium in my mind in one tight end formats, that's a
mid twenty three first and super flex pick one oh four beyond, and then
a tight end premium as high as pick one oh two if we had to
select Kyle Pitts or any of the cream of the crop tight ends in this
year's class. Michael Mayer, Luke Musgrave, Dalkin Kaid Darna Washington. I'm
going to pick Kyle Pitts, and we don't even know the landing spots yet
of these prospects. But Pitts is a unicorn in the sense of him moving
like a wide receiver at six six two forty six. He needs more volume
and more opportunities and he will not disappoint. There's too much talent. And
then, last but not least, Elijah Moore. He's twenty three in March,
a second round selection out of old miss in twenty twenty one thirty four
overall twenty twenty one, he started late head injuries, bounced back though,
ended up forty three five thirty eight five twelve and a half yards pertecch eventy
seven targets and eleven games played. Really, he was a wide receiver one
over the second half of twenty twenty one, went healthy, and that made
us believe there was a breakout coming. In twenty twenty two, the opposite
happened. It was a disaster. Thirty seven four or forty six one,
twelve point one yards pertect, sixty five targets and sixteen games played. We
know the story got in the doghouse of Robert Sava, requested a trade that
did not occur, and the rest is history. I've long been a more
advocate, now more than ever since the Jets appear committed to bringing in a
new quarterback, perhaps trading for Aaron Rodgers or signing Derek Carr Jimmy Garoppolo to
replace and or mentor Zach Wilson, who's clearly not ready yet. Garrett Wilson
has surely asserted himself as wide receiver one for the Jets and one of the
top young whiteouts in the entitled league, and that has resulted in More becoming
an afterthought. That's great for those who believe in his talent, like myself.
Assuming he's back in the good graces of SAVA and even a new OC
Nathaniel Hacketts, then we have to assume Elijah is friling in the mix for
wide receiver two duties in New York. His next Gen Stats Prospects score was
eighty nine, which is a borderline elite prospect. The composite score of nine
you would have placed him in that tier. So Elijah was one point away
in their model for being quote unquote an elite prospect. I tend to agree.
We saw the potential in twenty nineteen twenty twenty at ole Miss receiving production
of sixty seven, eight, fifty and six and then eighty six, eleven,
ninety three and eight. It just has not translated from opportunity perspective with
the Jets to this point. I remember when former ole Miss receivers AJ Brown
DK Metcalf were interviewed, and I'm paraphrasing here, but they both spoke about
Elijah more when he declared for the pros, stating that if people thought that
they were good, as in AJ Brown and Metcalf, then wait and see
how talented More is. I think we'd all agree that AJ Brown and Metcalf
are superior talents to Elijah More. But at the same time, they have
different body frames. They're much larger. Despite his small frame at five ten,
one seventy eight, Elijah's unique ability to separate himself in coverage, man
zone, press depth. When it comes to yard at the catch skills.
He's also versatile fuck able to line up in a slot out wide. Yes,
it's been a bumpy ride, a rough start to his NFL career arc,
but I'm still invested or looking to invest more into Elijah More from early
to mid second. There's no way he's worth the first right now. Is
way too much uncertainty baked into his current infrastructure and set up in New York.
They could easily bring another receiver or to this offseason. But the positive
spin on it is if a Aaron Rodgers, a Derek car Jimmy Garoppolo,
or another unforeseen quarterbacks brought in, then suddenly everybody will be buying into Elijah
More at that point in time. This is your chance to get ahead of
that curve. Take a risk, but it could pan out. You could
have a future wide receiver one on your hands in Dynasty. That will do
it, hopefull. I enjoyed my five post type trade target episode as a
