Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I'm your host, Corey
Evans. Thank you for listening. This week, I'm talking about old twenty
twenty four NFL prospects. Age is one factor in the prospect evaluation puzzle being
young. Being old isn't the end all, be all, but it does
factor in at least the context of longevity or ranking certain players above others when
they're in the same tier, same position. So for the free show this
week, you're hearing Old twenty twenty four Prospects all over on Patreon, where
my paid content is stored and kept. It'll be my version of this but
Young twenty twenty four NFL prospects. You don't miss out on that content.
Before I dive into this week's episode, a few housekeeping notes. First,
I created a TikTok account for the podcast. It's just the Dynasty Dudes.
If you're on TikTok and you want to have some videos of me speaking off
stats or episode recaps, then follow me. That's the Dynasty Dude over on
TikTok. And then to celebrate the month of February and the love I have
for fantasy football, I'm giving twenty percent off my roster calls. It's a
promotion for all of February, so it'll be twenty percent off thirty minutes for
thirty dollars or twenty percent off one hour for fifty dollars. You can hit
me up on any social media account that's Dynasty do Pod on Instagram or Twitter,
slash x, the Dynastyuite on Facebook, or even an email to Dynastydopod
at gmail dot com. Take advantage of that February promotion of twenty percent off
a roster call of Baked on your team, perhaps assessed draft capital you have
for twenty twenty four, anything like that. You pick what we discuss and
I'll give you my honest opinion. So here we go old twenty twenty four
NFL prospects, just prefacing what we should think about their age versus college production
and eventual testing. Measurables numbers up first, This is oldest. Youngest for
the sake of the older prospects is Sam Hartman, quarterback out of Notre Dame.
He's six one to ten. He'll be twenty five in July. That's
older than most second to thirty year pros. He spent five years with wake
Forest and then one year with Notre Dame. This past season a two thousand,
six hun and eighty nine yard passing campaign twenty four touchdowns to eight interceptions,
completed sixty three and a half percent of his passes for eight point nine
yard pass attempt, and chipped in a forty five buck twenty three three touchdown
rushing efforts. Hartman kept Notre Dame in the college fotball playoff mix for some
of the year, but ultimately he lacks the top tier traits to be a
regular starting quarterback in the NFL CO directed to be a Day three pick or
even perhaps a priority UDFA N draft. The free agent he's best suited,
I think for backup duties to the pro level, especially in once a loaded
twenty twenty four rookie quarterback crop. Up. Next is Juwar Jordan, running
back out of Louisville five ten, one eighty five. He's twenty five in
August. For running back prospect, that should raise some cause for concern or
red flags. Still, if it's a short window of one contract to two
contracts the pro level, it's still viable for fantasy purposes. He spent two
seasons with Syracuse and then three with Believal in twenty twenty three a one point
eighty one eleven twenty eight thirteen rushing efforts for six point two yards per clip,
and then twenty one two forty six and a touchdown. As a receiver.
He runs with power inside and outside suggested four point three seven forty time,
which if true, could really help his draft capital sort of offset the
age concerns. He's a decisive rusher on tape who makes one cut without much
dancing behind line of scrimmage, and he's fluid after the catch. A natural
running back who I think will be a Day two or Day three pick once
again. Juir Jordan out of Louisville, Ray Davis another running back out of
Kentucky five ten two sixteen, great build at the position. Twenty five in
November, So light Jordan older for running back prospect, older than we'd like
to invest in. Un that's a draft capital for us. In Dynasty Alliance,
it becomes a good value. Ray Davis spent two years with Temple,
with Vanderbilt and then one with Kentucky. A one ninety nine eleven twenty nine
fourteen rushing effort five point seven yards per carry, then thirty three for three,
twenty three and seven receiving touchdowns that stood out to me. He's surprising
the agile for his body frame once again. Five ten, two sixteen runs
with the power of a full back as opposed to a running back, not
expected to offer much in terms of straight line speed. There's some worries that
his forty time could be a four point six second forty year slower, which
doesn't mean he can't be an NFL fantasy asset. At the same time,
you just like to see better straight line speed to break off big plays or
find a rushing lane to the edge. Davis makes up for a lack of
high end speed though, with patient's vision and reliable hands out of the backfield
long with solid pass protecting chops. Think David Montgomery for a playing style comparison
for Ray Davis. Up next is another running back. It's Dylan lobby Laube
out of New Hampshire five ten, two oh seven. He's twenty three,
going to be twenty four at some point this year. Cannot find his exact
date of birth online. He spent five years in the college landscape A one
fifty eight seven, fifteen and nine rushing line four and a half yards per
carry in twenty twenty three, which stood out most to me though sixty eight
catches for six hundred ninety nine yards receiving and seven touchdowns. He's a sensational
prospect out of the backfield. Heicking passes among running backs. Now, keep
in mind, any small school RB prospect should be taken with a grain of
salt based on a level competition they're facing. Dylan Lobby is no exception to
that rule. However, I am very intrigued by his pass caicking skills,
which I think will have him carve out NFL role by the time he's either
drafted or signed as a free agent. At his best after contact to manufacture
yardage, is an actual playmaker. If Lobby makes a name for himself in
the NFL, it is going to be a results of his versatility and speed
that makes him a mismatch in one on one situations. See it at time
and time again on his game film with New Hampshire. Some scouts think that
Dylan can run in the four point three to zero range for the forty yard
dash. If true, could sneak to the Day two conversation, but more
likely than not, based on the collegiate resume playing at a lower level competition.
He's in the Day three conversation. Up next is Bo Knicks, quarterback
out of Oregon six two two seventeen. He'll be twenty four in February.
Three seasons spent with Auburn and then two with Oregon. Four thousand, five
n and eight yards passing this year for forty five touchdowns to only three interceptions.
Remarkable efficiency and decision making seventy seven point four complete percenting iss rate.
The fact that he was forting with in eighty percent rate is astounding nine point
six yards press attempt and a fifty four to two thirty four six rushing line.
Amazing statistics. Working in the favorite Bo Knicks to paint a picture for
what he could be as a pro. He's coming off a huge campaign of
production. Earns a lot of comparisons to Justin Herbert, since both played in
the same college program with the Oregon Ducks. Similar ability in terms of being
mobile pocket passers who can't tuck in a run when needed, but are not
necessarily run first quarterbacks. Bo Nicks is perhaps the best next thing at quarterback
among twenty twenty four Riki prospects. After Caleb Williams out of USC Daniels LSU,
Drake May, North Carolina. In terms of being NFL ready, he
could be in a Day two mix. I don't think bo Nicks is a
first round can. However, most scouts would agree with that. Jordan Travis
another quarterback out of Florida State. He's six one, two twelve. He'll
be twenty four in May. One year with Louisville and then five with Florida
States. He had a two thousand, seven hundred and fifty six yard passing
season, twenty touchdowns, only two interceptions, great ratio right there. Completed
sixty three point a half percent of his passes for eight and a half yards
press attempt, and a seventy three one seventy six seven rushing line, so
found the end zone at a high percentage. Sustained a season ending injury in
November. The actual injury was not confirmed, but it sounds like a torn
ACL. He's yet another dual threat quarterback in this year's class who was on
the Day two, Day three mix or borderline developmental talent though for NFL purposes,
Like Notre Dame Sam Hartman, I think Jordan Travis out of Thorida State
is best to be more of a backup than ever starter, unless out of
necessity in the NFL. Mobility and his overall athleticism are the best attributes that
make up for a lack of arm strength. You see time and time again
on tape. Then again, Jordan Travis did keep some wideouts and even running
back Trey Benson relevant at Florida State wideouts meaning Johnny Wilson or obviously keyon Coleman,
so he can support antilliar pieces on an offense. I guess don't know
if he's an NFL franchise caliber quarterback. Michael Penis, junior quarterback out of
Washington, is six three, two thirteen. He'll be twenty four in May.
Four seasons with Indiana and then two with Washington. Coming off a great
season of production four thousand nowag's with three yards passing, thirty six touchdowns to
eleven interceptions, sixty five point four completion percentings rates, eight point eight yards
press attempt, and thirty five rushes for eight yards and three touchdowns. The
rushing line might sound horrible, and to the box score eye it doesn't look
all great either, But if you watch Pennick junior play football. He's surprisingly
elusive and agile, and can scramble and move if needed. I wouldn't say
he's necessarily a dualfrect quarterback, but he has mobility to send plays with his
legs if a pocket collapses. Despite those pros, there arens outside of age.
Of course, the unorthodox mechanics and the fact that he owns a laser
and arm with aggressive passing tendencies meaning out a fight to thrown the tight windows
or contested catch situations is encouraging. The issue is Penick Junior's draft stock is
completely up in the air because he offered a mixed bag results on a big
stage in the twenty twenty three College Football Playoffs. He thrived dominate against Texas,
but then the consistencies as a passer were exposed to the fulls extent in
the championship game against Michigan. So Penick Junior I've seen in mock drafts as
early as a top fifteen to twenty pick, and his lowest sliding to the
second, if not third round. The age being twenty four made is not
helped matters. I still think, though, that he could be a starter
at the professional level, perhaps more than other quarterbacks in this class. Penis
Junior's actual draft captain in real life is going to certainly impact how we view
him any one quarterback or super flex league when it comes to rookie draft and

search core you avas Dinas dude. You'll find me on there and this week
I'll forget. Is this exact set up or premise in terms of the structure,
but instead of being old upcoming draft prospects between twenty four over on Patreon,
I'm discussing young twenty twenty four rookies, which is very important and elevates
them in most of our rankings. Time for the quick break and I'll be
right back up. Next is Cad Stover, tight end of Ohio State six
' four, two fifty one. He's twenty four in June. Three years
in school, a forty one five seventy six five receiving log fourteen yards pertection
twenty twenty three. I remember thinking and this time last year at Stover is
going to declariic for the NFL Draft in twenty twenty three before ultimately returning to
school. It was the right decision for him. Ended up being a strong,
if not loaded rookie crop among tight ends last season, his draft scot
could have been impacted negatively. Therefore, caid he's a polished pass catcher in
consistent as a blocker, which could limit his draft capital unless the team intends
to use him as more of an offensive weapon as opposed to extension of the
running game. In terms of blocking formations, he regularly works across the middle
of the field in comeback routes and sort of beating zone coverage, can stretches
seam if needed. He shows plus athletic ability on tape, so his combine
testing is going to be important to watch because this tight end class outside of
brock Bauers is good not great, meaning with a strong pre draft process,
Kate Stover, despite his advanced age for a rookie, could end up a
top fifty, if not one hundred pick in this year's draft. How about
Rooky Pearsall wide receiver out of Florida. He's sixty one, one hundred and
ninety pounds twenty four in September three campaigns spent Arizona State and then two with
Florida, coming off a sixty five nine sixty five four receiving law for fourteen
pointy yards per catch. Reminds me of Georgia wide out prospects, where I
spoke about a week or two ago Lad McConkie in terms of being a well
round of talent who should pan out at the professional level as a slot weapon.
Ricky Pearsall was able to thrive both slot and outside at the college scene,
but at six point one ninety I think he lacks the body frame and
strength to be physical enough to win on the outside. He has excellent hands,
shiftiness in and out of routes after the catch points, displays terrific body
control with a large catch radius for the smaller body stature. And if you
saw that ridiculous one handed catch that he made for Floor in his career,
then you know the prospect of talking about because it was arguably one of the
best catches we've seen in quite some time. That's Ricky Pearsall, who I
think is going to be one of the safest picks for dynasty purposes in the
third round or fourth round VY slides in rookie ADP but for the NFL and
the purposes of his outlook being twenty four Septembers and help matters, I just
hope his shiftiness Allah Khalils Shakir, a bigger version of him perhaps is what
keeps him fantasy relevant eventually. Spencer Rattler quarterback South Carolina six' one two
seventeen. He'll be twenty four in September. Three years Oklahoma, and if
you might recall, once projected to be the first overall selection in the NFL
that did not happen, stayed in school, spent two more years with South
Carolina this past season three thousand, one hundred and eighty six yards passing only
nineteen Patsy touchdowns at eight interceptions, not a great ratio in terms of effectiveness.
Completed sixty eight point episode, his passes at solid eight yards pass attempt
not bad, and then ninety seven one oh four and four on the ground.
Has a chance to really enhance or boost his quarterback ranking stock with a
strong senior bole week upcoming. He's not a Day one candidate like Cale Williams,
Jaden Daniels or Drake may however, could end up in the mix with
JJ McCarthy, Bo Nicks or even the aforemention Michael Pennix. Junior. Rattler's
mechanics are often consistent. He gets knocked for that in a lot of draft
grades and evaluations, yet the National planmic skills and ability are undeniable with a
gunslinger type of style mentality. Similar to my mind of Baker Mayfield as a
prospect, Spencer Ratlet I think is going to be a bit undervalued in superflex
formats could be a nice selection pending on his draft capital in real life.
In the second round for two quarterbacks super flex leagues Blake Korm running back out
of Michigan, your consensus top five running back in this year's class. He's
five eight two thirteen twenty four this November, which isn't all that great in
terms of career arc or longevity shelf life for running back, but it could
be an exception to the rule. Spent four years in school, delivered a
two fifty eight twelve forty five twenty seven rushing linus twenty seven rushing touchdowns for
Michigan in twenty twenty three for four point ars per carry, and then sixteen
for one to seventeen in a score. As a receiver, he's adept when
it comes to being a power rusher. The start stop cutback skills are on
full display. Patient's vision. He has the tools to become a starting running
back the pro level. He's agile, a quick feet. Reminds me a
bit of Ray Rice if you remember him with the balth Moo Ravens a while
ago. Korum's college resume production it speaks for itself in terms of volume,
efficiency and being not only a between the tackle and early down rusher, but
come to the red zone. Blake Cromer's relied on heavily, and that's a
big reason behind it twenty seven touchdowns this past year. I do think the
question at this point is if an NFL teams want to spend a Day two
pick on his services to lead a backfield with an all purpose skill set.
The overriding theme, based on a lot of scout feedback you'll hear on podcast
or articles, is that there's no Day one running backs in the twenty twenty
four class, and there could be a few that hit their name called on
Day two, but a lot or majority will be on Day three. Doesn't
mean they won't be fantasy relevant. I hope Blake Koram is a Day two
prospect, but being twenty four in November is going to make it hard to
select him over younger wideouts in this year's class. And then rounding out this
week's episode is Jaden Daniels, quarterback LSU six four two ten. He'll be
twenty four in December, which for a quarterback isn't the worst case scenario,
but if he was a year or two younger, it would certainly make it
that much more appealing to draft him. Three seasons with Arizona State and then
two with LSU, he he won the Heisman Trophy this past year with output
of three thousand, eighthnd and twelve yeards passing forty passing touchdowns to only four
interceptions completed seventy two point two percent is passes for eleven point seven the archer
pass attempt that's amazing, and then a one to thirty five eleven thirty four
ten rushing log. Looking at the definition of a dual threat quarterback and the
closest profile comparison that we've seen to Lamar Jackson out of Louisville as a prospect
in quite some time, it's fair to speculative Jayden is a one hit wonder
from twenty twenty three. On the flip side, former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow
had a similar college career path as being a late bloomer, and I think
Jayden Daniels is in the same exact boat. Due to the versatility and the
game changing tools that Daniels brings to the table, he appears to be a
first round lock in real life in his arguably quarterback two in the twenty twenty
four class behind Kiel Williams. I understand the case for Drake May, who
if all things click could be the next Josh Allen. That being a big
if. Jaden Daniels excelled in LSU's program against higher A competition and has displayed
the ability to pass at a high level and run as though he's a running
back. And if you get that sort of talent in the right NFL system,
suddenly under an offensive mine a head coach Earl C you can receive Lamar
Jackson esque stats or even Josh Allen. Jalen Hurts. A rushing quarterback wins
fantasy football leagues. And if that's not going to beat Kayleb Williams in terms
of your ability or resources to draft someone like him, then Jayden and Daniels
could be the next best thing at quarterback for fantasy purposes. That will do
it. I'll be enjoyed. My Old twenty twenty four NFL Prospects episode a
