1 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,920 Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Do podcast. I am your host, 2 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,239 Corey Evans. Thank you for listening to this week's show. I'm talking about 3 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,399 polarizing twenty twenty four rookies for this week's episode. Five of them, to 4 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,280 be exact, We're either really high or low on them as an industry in 5 00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:40,560 Dynasty based on early rookie adp from mock drafts or actual bestball data. So 6 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,479 I want to dive deep on that before we hit the NFL combine, which 7 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,280 is by the time you're listening this week already Thursday, February twenty ninth, 8 00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:51,719 running into the early stages of March. Before we know it's NFL Draft will 9 00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:54,960 be here in late April. It's such an exciting time of the year. 10 00:00:55,359 --> 00:00:57,880 As always, if you're a fan of my work, please take a few 11 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,320 moments click those five stars for review on Apple Podcasts or the five stars on 12 00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:07,040 Spotify's mail a ton as a podcast host creator. And lastly, I'll extend 13 00:01:07,079 --> 00:01:10,879 this for a couple of days. He's because February March overlap this week, 14 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,239 but the twenty percent off the roster call promotion is still valid. The normal 15 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,920 pricing is thirty bucks for thirty minutes or fifty bucks for one hour, So 16 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,959 slice twenty percent off if interested. Don't miss out because that promotion will expire 17 00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:27,200 after this week's episode. If you want to get on my calendar, there's 18 00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:30,560 a variety ways to reach out to me on social media. It's Dynasty do 19 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,760 Pod on Twitter, slash x or Instagram, the Dynastute on Facebook, or 20 00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:41,359 old fashioned email Dinasay do Pod at gmail dot com. So here's five polarizing 21 00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:45,439 twenty twenty four rookies where I'm at on them, the pros, the cons, 22 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,239 and then with each of them, I'm going to offer a ceiling comparison 23 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,079 in the NFL as well as a four comparison to at least lay the land 24 00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:56,879 of their possible range of value. Outcomes Up first is ad and I or 25 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,319 ad Mitchell, Wide Receiver out of Texas. He will turn twenty two years 26 00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:02,480 old in October. A junior. He's sixty four one to ninety six. 27 00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:07,439 That's a large catch radius and offers length to extend arms of the catch points, 28 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,680 which you see routinely on his game film twenty twenty one with Georgia, 29 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,599 who's a transfer twenty nine four to twenty six and four twenty twenty two with 30 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,840 Georgia nine one, thirty four and three, so lackluster production for what's now 31 00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:22,800 deemed a first or second round potential draft pick in real life. But twenty 32 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,319 twenty three with Texas is where Ady Mitchell put his name on the map fifty 33 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,360 five eight, forty five eleven. The production is one of his red flags 34 00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:35,240 or downsides of the resume because Georgia from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two 35 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,280 was not all that impressive, but he emerged with Texas' past season eighties. 36 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,439 Average yards per catch each season are fourteen point seven, fourteen point nine, 37 00:02:43,439 --> 00:02:46,360 and fifteen point four. He's a silky, smooth rout runner with impressive ball 38 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,960 skills. There's shades of Seedee Lamb in and out of his releases as a 39 00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:53,319 rout runner, especially left line of scrimmage. He creates leverage out of breaks 40 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,439 for easy separation. He does need to bulk up to fight off press coverage, 41 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,240 become more physical instead of relying on his quick feet. That worked in 42 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,800 the college landscape, but it might not work at the pro level with bigger, 43 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,319 faster, stronger corners and safeties, even linebackers. At times Adami Mitchell 44 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,360 is a possession plus a downfield weapon. He's consistent, there's reliable hands, 45 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,960 contributes into short, intermediates and deep levels of the field. He needs to 46 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,319 work on refining the route running, I think the most that is where he's 47 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,639 a work in progress or could improve, which couple with the lack of college 48 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,639 production, makes him a polarizing rookie or prospect. The ceiling comparison, I'll 49 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,919 stick with the aforementioned CD Lamb. I don't think Adie Mitchell ever be that 50 00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:36,919 valuable in redraft or dynasty leagues, but the route running, in the way 51 00:03:36,919 --> 00:03:40,039 he does release at the top of routes, even the playing style, the 52 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,879 mannerisms on the field remind me of CD Lamb, not purely skill sets, 53 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,080 but the actual mechanics on the field and the For comparison, I have two 54 00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:53,319 names, George Pickens or even our Tabis Bryant remember him out of Pittsburgh Pickens 55 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,560 as well with the Steelers. Pickens probably more realistic for comparison, and even 56 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,280 Picks himself we know is very talented out of Georgia, considering he had that 57 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,240 acl tair late in his career and what he is now arguably wide out one 58 00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:10,439 for Pittsburgh's franchise, despite some consistencies at quarterback, I think ad Ni Mitchell 59 00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:14,360 or eighty Mitchell offers a similar career path in the NFL. I am personally 60 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,079 a fan of him, and I will be higher than consensus or adp indicates. 61 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,879 I understand the polarizing viewpoints, however, due to some of his flaws 62 00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:25,959 that I discussed in that breakdown. Johnny Wilson wide receiver for the States. 63 00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:30,079 He'll be twenty three in April. Another junior six seven, two thirty seven. 64 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,759 You heard me right, six foot seven, two hundred and thirty seven 65 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,240 pounds. That's a size and build up a tight end with a huge catch 66 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:40,319 window for quarterbacks to targets. Jordan Travis at Florida State utilized Wilson in that 67 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,399 capacity. Now will Johnny Wilson be used as a wide receiver or a mismatch 68 00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:48,240 big slot tight end in the NFL? That is the million dollar question. 69 00:04:48,319 --> 00:04:54,120 He reminds me of other oversized wideouts like Helvin Benjamin or even Chase Claypool, 70 00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:58,399 both of which sure showed some glimpses of promise at the professional level before falling 71 00:04:58,399 --> 00:05:01,879 off in value or consistency, and that is the primary red flag and Johnny 72 00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:05,800 Wilson's profile. Let's look at his college production. Spent two years Arizona States 73 00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:10,319 and then two years with Florida States. Twenty twenty with ASU with six grabs 74 00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:14,040 eighty nine yards twenty twenty one with ASU is twelve one, thirty four and 75 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,639 one, so very minimal production. The past two years have been solid, 76 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,600 not spectacular for Wilson with Florida State twenty twenty two forty three, eight ninety 77 00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:25,360 seven to five and then twenty twenty three forty one, six, seventeen and 78 00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:30,079 two. You'd think with that massive of a body frame, height and weight 79 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,199 that he'd be a touchdown machine. Instead, he's done more with counting stats 80 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,879 than find the end zone. His average yards per catch each year are fourteen 81 00:05:38,879 --> 00:05:41,839 point eight, twelve point eight, twenty point nine, and fifteen point zero. 82 00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:45,480 So yes, the big playability exists. We haven't seen enough to fully 83 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,720 have confidence in Johnny Wilson as a legitimate, full proof wide receiver prospect. 84 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,000 He did a lot of his damage over the middle of the field, at 85 00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:55,639 least what I've seen on film with Florida State in particular, he has slow 86 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,160 feet looks sluggish or clumsy, and that limits his yards. You have to 87 00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:03,399 catch upside the separation, A lack thereof actually seems to be his glaring weakness. 88 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,920 That's why I think a transition to tight end might make the most sense 89 00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:11,959 for an NFL team looking to polish his rock traits. Because Johnny Wilson could 90 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,079 be an exceptional talent. We see enough of the intangibles and natural ball skills 91 00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:18,519 from the panouts. He's also an adept and willing runblocker, which is huge 92 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,480 for NFL scouts and coaches. It's fair debate if Johnny Wilson himself or his 93 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,319 peer Keyon Coleman, will become the better pro receiver out of Florida States. 94 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,120 I much prefer key On Coleman's raw upside as a potential X factor game changer 95 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,959 in both fantasy and real life, whereas I think Johnny Wilson is going to 96 00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:40,040 be pegged to more of a situational or sub package role in the NFL. 97 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,240 Think third and short or in the red zone because of that size. See 98 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,720 the comparison. Think Jordan Reed or Darren Waller as borderline wide receivers with tight 99 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,639 end body frames don't forget Darren Waller was once a wide receiver and then became 100 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,079 one of the better NFL tight ends for a few seasons. Even Devin Functions 101 00:06:55,079 --> 00:06:58,160 remember him out of Michigan and in Landwick, Carolina. I think that's a 102 00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:01,480 fair comparison for a best case scenario on the behalf of Johnny Wilson's career outlook, 103 00:07:01,519 --> 00:07:06,040 and then a four comparison could be who I discussed as showing some similarities 104 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,000 on film, like Kelvin Benjamin or Chase clay Pool, where there was promise 105 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,160 displayed early on and then they fizzled out. So that's why Johnny Wilson is 106 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,920 so polarizing or uncertain to evaluate. I'll be fascinated to see how he fares 107 00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:21,839 at the combine, let alone his actual draft stock and NFL circles. If 108 00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:26,240 he's a Day two pick, then suddenly we might have to reevaluate the pennant 109 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,360 on landing spots. The issue here is that Johnny Wilson is not a complete 110 00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:32,439 product. There's a lot of development overfining has to be done wherever he ends 111 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,079 up landing. Zevie l get wide receiver out of South Carolina. He turned 112 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,040 twenty three in January. He was a senior, five year senior at that 113 00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:44,839 six three two twenty seven career receiving logs of nine for eighty and one touchdown, 114 00:07:45,079 --> 00:07:48,519 seven for about thirteen eight sixty three and one eighteen one city, seven 115 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,600 and three. All four of those years are barely even on the radar being 116 00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:57,399 relevant. But Ben this past year twenty twenty three seventy one one thousand, 117 00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:01,199 two hundred fifty five yards and then seven touchdowns, that makes him a late 118 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,680 breakout age prospect to begin with, kind of like Ray Davis at running back 119 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:09,040 of Kentucky for the sake comparing Apples to Orange's wide receiver running back in this 120 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,879 year's crop. There's always concern with late breakout rookies for the sake of the 121 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,079 pro to college level, because why didn't you excel when you were younger? 122 00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:22,720 In those early years of South Carolina, Lagett dominated as a twenty two year 123 00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:28,480 old senior where he's playing against undersized or developed nineteen twenty twenty one year old, 124 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,519 so that's always something to keep in mind. Now, purely based on 125 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,360 Zabrie, Laget's talent, he reminds me of al Shon Jeffrey meets Colton Sudden 126 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,919 as a traditional X receiver who's aggressive at the catch points. I love that 127 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,080 mentality. It's my football, go out and get it. He thrives and 128 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,720 compiling the yards after the catch at certain times you see some aj Brown as 129 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,200 traits. He quickly became a favorite target for South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler, 130 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,919 fifty to fifty ball specialist thanks to the top tier body control, great field 131 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,440 vision concentration, and he's shifty for that sixty three to two twenty seven frame 132 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,759 before and after the catch. He brings a competitive nature and physical approach to 133 00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:07,080 the wide receiver position, with a willingness to block, which whenever I see 134 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,559 the blocking on tape, that's another added bonus or check mark on a prospects 135 00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:15,960 evaluation profile because NFL coaches love wide receivers can run block and then the route 136 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,480 running and beating press coverage are the flaws on Laguette's college tape. So that's 137 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,080 where we're at. Polarizing For sure ceiling comparison, I'll go back to the 138 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,480 alshon Jeffrey corton Sudden Mold. I think a for comparison would be trailing Burks, 139 00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:35,279 who they both offer similar Deebo, Samuel or aj Brown rushing receiving physical 140 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:41,159 tools. However, it's one thing earning those comparisons from college tape pre draft 141 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,120 and then becoming something proving it at the NFL level. A la trailing Burks, 142 00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:48,279 who as a rookie in software has been a major's appointment. I wouldn't 143 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,639 say bust quite yet, because Tennessee's fantasy environment a quarterback hasn't necessarily bode all 144 00:09:52,639 --> 00:09:56,559 that well for any names outside of Derek Henry and DeAndre Hopkins. The past 145 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,200 two years, however, Burkes has strug with their ability, so disabel Gett 146 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:07,000 has a wide range of outcomes. I like the player. The flaws, 147 00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:09,759 once again are route running. He's not as crisp as others in his class 148 00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:15,399 press coverage because of a lack of at time strength consistency. And then it 149 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,879 took you four years to compile a seventy one twelfifty five to seven log where 150 00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:22,799 you previously had catch totals of nine, seven, eight, and eighteen. 151 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:28,759 That is a glaring production outlier, and accordingly, disabel Gett is all over 152 00:10:28,799 --> 00:10:31,559 the map in mock draft data, both real life mock draft circles and US 153 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,200 and rookie edp Time for a quick break, and I'll discuss two more polarizing 154 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,840 twenty twenty four NFL rookies before I get to that.

Three years 172 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,639 of production out of Clemson twenty twenty one one forty nine seven thirty nine eleven 173 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,519 on the ground, sixteen grabs a buck, sixteen through the air, twenty 174 00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:54,240 twenty two, two ten eleven, eighty two to fifteen. It was a 175 00:11:54,279 --> 00:11:58,240 breakout season, thirty eight two forty two as a receiver twenty twenty three. 176 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,279 Some regrets once He's seven eight twenty seven to five on the ground and thirty 177 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,799 one two forty four to two out of the backfield as a pass cutcher. 178 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,600 Shipley's annual Robert Kerry averages checking at five point zero, five point six, 179 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,559 and five point zero. That is incredibly efficient. Will's predraft grades are all 180 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,120 over the map, even within a dynasty community. His value is so divisive. 181 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,679 I've seen some websites have Shipley ranked as the RB one in this crop, 182 00:12:20,879 --> 00:12:24,519 while others have him outside of the top five of the position. Hence 183 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,360 him fitting perfectly into this polarizing label or buckets. I think, based on 184 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,360 what I've seen on a little Shipley over the past three seasons, he's one 185 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,559 of the better all purpose rookie running backs in twenty twenty four, especially intrigued 186 00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:39,159 by his receiving capabilities. He's explosive as a rusher with patients, quick feets 187 00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:46,200 and lateral agility, displays terrific burst and athletic hurdles cutbacks on film consistently elusive, 188 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,039 perhaps is the best adjective to describe Shipley with the ball in his hands. 189 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,279 A ceiling comparison, I see Austin Eckler, even a faster version for 190 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,960 comparison, remember Rex Burkehead his good days in New England. That's the area 191 00:12:58,039 --> 00:13:01,840 s C. Shipley falling in. From a fantasy lens peak value Austin Eckler 192 00:13:01,919 --> 00:13:09,559 usage basement or lower level outlook would be sporadic yet usable volume or efficiency like 193 00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:13,600 a Rex Burkhead. Will Shipley should be a second, third or fourth round 194 00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:16,039 pick in the NFL draft this year, and if he lands in the right 195 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:22,240 situation or system under an offensive mind to coach, with touches available for distribution 196 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,480 in said backfield, then I think we're going to see him creep into the 197 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,279 late first round, if not locked in the second round of rookie drafts, 198 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,519 super flex keep in the second, but a one quarterback league, I could 199 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:37,440 easily see will Shipley entering that late first conversation, depending on scheme fit, 200 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,879 of course. And then, last, but not least, perhaps most polarizing 201 00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:45,000 is romadonsa wide receiver O of Washington. From what I've seen, you're either 202 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,159 in on him or you are out out. I am personally in twenty two 203 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,799 in June a junior six three two fifteen. That's a long frame and it 204 00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:58,159 creates a large catch radius, and he moves so fluidly for a larger stature. 205 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,200 There's four years of production twenty two, twenty six, seventy two, 206 00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:03,480 twenty twenty one, forty one, four, fifteen and four, twenty twenty 207 00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:07,679 two, seventy five, eleven, forty five and seven, twenty twenty three, 208 00:14:07,919 --> 00:14:11,720 ninety two, sixteen, forty and thirteen. You see the year over 209 00:14:11,799 --> 00:14:16,000 year progression, improvement, enhancement, and production, and that is what speaks 210 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,399 to usually a wide receiver one caliber talent. Odonzay's average ark per catch each 211 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,320 year stand at twelve point zero, ten point one, fifteen point three, 212 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,799 and seventeen point eight, showing both possession and lidlifting skills. He tracks the 213 00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:31,679 ball well downfield with one of his best traits adjusting to throws with top tier 214 00:14:31,759 --> 00:14:35,519 and I mean top tier body control to position himself for success at the end 215 00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:39,720 of routes. His adjustments with the ball in the air with small catching windows 216 00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:43,720 are exceptional. The ball skills also opt the charts. He plays a level 217 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,559 of confidence in his hands that allow him to set up angles to accumulate yards 218 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:54,120 after the catch. Think about a receiver having excellent vision and knowing what's behind 219 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,320 him layer wise and defensive coverage. That's Romo Dunzay to a t. He 220 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,919 knows where he's at, where he's supposed to be. It can make big 221 00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:05,000 plays out of seemingly nowhere to go because of his IQ and confidence that his 222 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,559 hands will allow him to extend a catch point and then his natural athleticism can 223 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,200 take over from there after. The versatility lineup inside or outside also helps Glo 224 00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:16,919 for hands has the build and tools to become an instant Whys you were won 225 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,080 in the NFL. Daniel Jeremiah, one of the best scouts in the business 226 00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:26,120 is a huge fan of Roma. Dunday's comparing him to Larry Fitzgerald, which 227 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,600 talk about a comparison, right, that'd be a dream outcome romadonsday. He 228 00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:33,440 runs a near complete route tree. He's acrobatic and flexible, and that speaks 229 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,399 once again to the body control on underneath or salbine routes where he is going 230 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,919 to find a way to haul on the ball with his hands, with the 231 00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:46,000 footwork very fundily sound following soon after. Rome is particularly dangerous after the catch 232 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,039 with the ball in his hands. That's where the natural playmaking ability takes over 233 00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:54,279 even his strength. It's so notable and identifiable on film that he is simply 234 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,559 stronger than opposing DB's and I hope that makes also the same impression when he's 235 00:15:58,559 --> 00:16:00,879 a professional. A lot of down the enthusiasts I think are out on romandunsday 236 00:16:00,879 --> 00:16:04,000 because they have a sour taste or association in their mouth, have to being 237 00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:10,080 burned by prospect. Dante pettis another prospect wide receiver wise out of Washington, 238 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,919 cheke a round pick at twenty eighteen. It's worth noting that pettis never accrued 239 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,559 collegiate production near the level of Donsay, So associating you're linking the two because 240 00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:21,320 of college program is simply an error and process. There are a ton of 241 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:26,519 hits misses from all college programs at all positions, each being their own unique 242 00:16:26,559 --> 00:16:32,279 player. Assess one for one, not group bad prospects from this college because 243 00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:36,879 the program didn't adapt to NFL level. Each is its own case. O'doonsay 244 00:16:36,919 --> 00:16:41,320 emerged the past two campaigns in Washington system due to the presence of quarterback Michael 245 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,639 Pennick junior and offensive cornea Ryan Grubb. Odoons's production in twenty twenty two and 246 00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:48,799 twenty twenty three. He's gonna make him a borderline top five ten to fifteen 247 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,759 pick in this year's NFL draft. Now, there's two areas that you could 248 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,600 sort of deflect against him as a weakness run blocking and then he trusts his 249 00:16:56,639 --> 00:17:00,919 hands almost too much instead of running at full speed routes, and that's not 250 00:17:00,039 --> 00:17:06,000 always going to work if you have press or man coverage against NFL defenses. 251 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,240 Seeing the comparison, it's lofty, it's more stylistic than I think talent based, 252 00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:12,960 but Jamark Chase, they're early similar when it comes to mechanics and movement 253 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,799 post catch. There's times I'm watching film of Roma Donze in school and I 254 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,519 think to myself, as this is Mark Chase. It's so crazy how they 255 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:25,519 move with the ball in their hands. If you watch film romandunzey you know 256 00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:27,160 what I'm talking about. Then a for comparison, even though I think it's 257 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:32,200 this far less likely, I do see some Quentin Johnston when Roma Donze comes 258 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,480 back to the football. Because of the tall, lanky frame, I think 259 00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:40,400 Rome is a much more polished and complete wide out prospect. But QJ did 260 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,480 have a lot of hype and draft capital working in his favor as a first 261 00:17:42,519 --> 00:17:47,640 round pick out of TCU that it wouldn't surprise me at the lower end of 262 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,960 outcomes if Roman Donze was in that downfall of first year. Not to say 263 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,640 that QJ is a full out bust, however, Johnston stock it's a whole 264 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:56,839 lot different now in twenty twenty four than it did a year ago. In 265 00:17:56,839 --> 00:18:02,480 twenty twenty three. I hope for to say of Romadonza that the skill set 266 00:18:02,519 --> 00:18:06,359 is transferable from Washington to whatever NFL team selects him. And I think that 267 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,519 while he might not ever reach the heights in value or contribution level of Jamark 268 00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:14,680 Chase. He's far more equipped to deliver at that sort of threshold than a 269 00:18:14,759 --> 00:18:18,119 Quentin Johnston will do it. Hope you'll enjoyed my polarizing twenty twenty four Rookies 270 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,319 episode. They were once again Ada and I or ad Mitchell wide receiver out 271 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,519 of Texas, Johnny Wilson wide receiver out of Florida State, Exavier Laget wide 272 00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:30,799 receiver, South Carolina, Will Shipley running back out of Clemson, and Romadonzay 273 00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:33,880 wide receiver out of Washington.
