Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Do podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. This week it's my NFL Draft Reactions Episode four,
Rounds two to three, or Day two of this year's draft.
I am recording it in a batch with my NFL
Draft reaction from the first round because by the time
you're listening, I will be on vacation. So if any
information is out of dates or not accurate in terms
of they're being trades or player news that sounds different.
That's the reason why just bear with me. I am
working to the best of my ability to get this
episode to you when I'm not able to record it
out of town.
Speaker 2: Once again.
Speaker 1: This week is rounds two to three, and then next
week I'll be back with Day three or rounds four
to seven rankings. Rank because I know you want them,
They're available only on Patreon. I'm released and them by
week by position quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end
in the actual top fifty or seventy five for superflex leagues,
those are available in Google sheet form.
Speaker 2: I'm updating them pretty.
Speaker 1: Regularly and often based on news that here, decisions that
I make in actual rookie drafts taking place. I have
three tier levels on Patreon. Five dollars per month is
the rookie level, twelve dollars per month. Veteran level MVP
is twenty five dollars per month. Check it all out
on Patreon dot com search Corey Evans that honesty to
do to see all the different benefits and perks within
each tier. It's the only spot though you'll find my
post draft rookie rankings.
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 1: Second round pick thirty four, Jayden Higgins to the Houston Texans.
He turns twenty three in December six four.
Speaker 2: Two fifteen.
Speaker 1: Oddly enough, he's an excellent compliment to Nico Collins, yet
most often was compared to Nico Collins. So they're now
teammates and Houston suddenly has two terrific outside receivers with
the abiliting lineup inside and be a mismatch out of
the slot. Jadan Higgins out of Biowa State is a
big body threat that did it all at the college level,
now has the opportunity to become one B to Nico
Collins as one A in Houston and bolsters the stock
of CJ.
Speaker 2: Stroud in the process.
Speaker 1: Second round pick thirty six, quin Shawn Judkins to the
Cleveland Browns. He turns twenty two in October six feet
two nineteen Nick Chubb two point zero for the sake
of the Browns offense with even more versatility and burst
on a young fresh Judkins out of Ohio State, I
will say that the Dylan Sampson selection puts a little
bit of a dent into the ceiling for Judkins. Nonetheless,
first round lock Furky Drafts Judkins was one of the
most athletic running backs of this year's combine with the
performance in box score stats to back it up that
now equated to second round Draft Capital second round pick
thirty eight Traveon Henderson to New England, Judkins, former teammate
from Ohio State. Henderson turns to twenty three in October.
He's five ten to two o eight, so not as
large of a back as his former Peter Judkins. Nonetheless,
Patris jam Elliott Woof said the team use Henderson as
a three down running back despite that smaller body frame.
Henderson received comparisons from Jamier Gibbs to Devon Ham with
a bit more size. No matter what will you spin
at Second round Draft Capital speaks volumes for any running
back in today's game. So Judkins and Henderson are both
now in opportunity situations to produce. In rbbc's Judkins facing
much less competition with Jerome Ford a Pierce Strong, whereas
Henderson does have an uphill battle with Mandre Stevenson, who
is no slouch in his own right despite his fumbling
well as the pro level. But I do expect Henderson
to push Ormanre immediately, and in a sense, Henderson is
a major upgrade over Antonio Gibson with a lot of
PPR upside. Henderson in New England might sound somewhat disappointing
on paper based on where he could have landed. However,
opportunity volume that's king for a running back.
Speaker 2: Henderson should see that.
Speaker 1: With a new Vrabel led Patriots franchise, second round pick
thirty nine, Luther Burden a third Chicago. What a steal
for Ryan Poles, Ben Johnson and the Bears front office.
Burden turns twenty two in December five eleven two O eight.
For some context, Trayvon Henderson five to.
Speaker 2: Ten to eight.
Speaker 1: So Luther Burden at wide receiver is the same sez
as Henderson. He shows you how explosive Henderson is back
to Burden broke an FBS high sixty tackles in twenty
twenty three. He is lethal in space, run out of
the ketch the yards of the catch, and Ryan Poles
alluded to that, stating, sure it might not have been
a need I'm paraphrasing here, of course, but Burden was
the best player, highest player on our board, hence why
the Bears took him. Expected to take over the evacated
role of Kenyan Allen, and they now suddenly loaded pass
CATCHI room for the Bears of DJ Moore, Romadoinze Colston Lovelin,
not to mention, still with DeAndre Swift and Cole Comet,
what are those roles going.
Speaker 2: To look like? Where does Burdon slot in? We do
know that.
Speaker 1: Playing out of the slot is beneficial in the Ben
Johnson offense see I'm Saint Brown in Detroit. So Burdon
is someone who should not slide all that far and
rookie drafts after receivers like Travis Hunter, Ttero McMillan, Matthew
Golden or Mecaabuka are taken. Luther Burton is firmly in
that same mix, especially after Hunter and McMillan second round
pick forty, Tyler Schuck, New Orleans.
Speaker 2: This was somewhat of surprise New Orleans.
Speaker 1: We knew needed a quarterback, could have been at nine
overall in the first not so fast. Instead, they make
their impact and selection the second round. It was not
Shodorg Sanders, who like it or not slid a day three.
More to come on that on the next episode. But
Shuck is twenty six September. That is just hard to
work around the age the shelf life. But if you
need a quarterback three or a quarterback two in a
desperation mode for superflex, then Shuck could make an impact
year one.
Speaker 2: He's six five to twenty five.
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, the elephant in the room is his twenty
twinty five season is in jeopardy because of this sudden
uncertain shoulder injury. Does Car one out? Does Car actually
have a serious injury that might require surgery.
Speaker 2: It's an unknown.
Speaker 1: There's mixed porting yet the Saints allocating their second round
pick forty to overall to Tyler Schuck speaks to directly
with the franchise needs. Kellen Moore clearly had influence major
influence on selecting Chuck here to potentially run his new
offense for the Saints. Shelf life, debatable talent not out
of Louisville a great campaign in twenty twenty four. Playmaker
durability is the biggest concern outside of age for Tyler Schuck. However,
in a Super flex league in the second round, if
you're staring down a completed quarterback room and you need
the help, you could do a lot worse. There's plenty
of untap potential or upside here, especially if Derek Carr
is on the version of leaving or missing this upcoming
season for the Saints. Second round pick forty two Mason
Taylor to the New York Jets. He turns twenty one
in May, still twenty years old when drafted. He's six five,
two fifty five and is now PERRYBC Jets OC Tanner Ingstrand,
who worked with Sam Laporte in Detroit as a former
passing and coordinator. That could be a really good pairing.
Not to mention Aaron Glenn, the new head coach of
the Jets. Mason Taylor was viewed as possibly tight end three,
if not four or five, after Coaston Loveland, Tyler Warren
and sure enough tight end three drafted It's a lot
to like about a skill set all around complete product,
super smooth as a route runner and pass catcher, which
should make him an instant, reliable weapon for Justin Fields,
who lacks targets outside of Garrett Wilson no more, Tyler
Conklin instead and twer Mason Taylor could finally be an
answer to an element the Jets offense has missed for
quite some time. In a sense, for the Jets, Mason
Taylor was a nice Constellation prize missing out on Colson Levlin,
who they did not select at seven overall instead of
the Bears at ten overall, and Tyler Warren went to
the Colts fourteenth overall. It was a gamble that paid
off second round pick forty six. Terrence Ferguson another tight
end to La Rams. He turned twenty two in March
sixt' five throughty five. He's more of a long term
than short term investment. With Tyler Higbee under contract with
the Rams this upcoming season. I will say, though, based
on Ferguson's Oregon stats let alone how he lived the
combine and stood out among his peers at tight end
this year, he is well worth an investment in all fourmats,
particularly tight on premium. If haigy Ridham is time, perhaps
Ferguson would see a huge leap in value. The main
takeaway though, is that there's Kyra Williams, there's Phokunakua newly
brought in Devonte Adams. It's a solid man spot for Ferguson.
It's just there's not an immediate path to value. Second
round pick fifty Elijah Arroyo, Seattle Seahawks. He turned twenty
two in April sixty four to two forty five. A
lot of scouts had Arroyo as tight end three in
this class. Not the case, ends up being the fifth
tight end off the board. The production, even with cam
Ward for a year, was not as consistent or dominant
as other rookie tight ends in this year's class. No
offense should remain the starter unless traded, which leaves Arroyo's
roll up in the air on our new O Sequin
Kubiak for Seattle. That being said, tight end requires patients,
usually across the board.
Speaker 2: Arroyo is no exception.
Speaker 1: The product he put on tape, especially the Senior Bowl.
The separation skills, the downfield ability has been intrigued enough
to spend a second or third round pick to pin
on your format, to stash and see what happens. Tekeond
around fifty five O row Trey Harris to the LA
Chargers turned twenty three in February sixth three to ten.
Trey Harris was a polarizing pre draft prospect. Some thought
day two, others day three. We now see day two
pick Harris should push Mike Williams Quentin Johnson for the
Chargers top outside bar receiver, while ab mccacky continues to
feast and dominate as justin Herbert's first readecurity blanket underneath
with possession routes or even intermediate where he can take
it to the house. Laviccacky is an absolute stud. Trey Harris,
if all goes well, best case scenario or career art
could make an impact similar to that DK metcalf with Seattle.
Speaker 2: Before he was traded to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Harris in Los Angeles is one of the better Day
one or Day two so rounds one to three landing
spots for rookie wide receivers. Second round pick fifty eight,
Jack Besh, Las Vegas Raiders. This is one of my
favorite picks. Jack Besh is a great talent, and the
Raiders needed a potential wide receiver one or two to
compliment Kobe Myers Trey Tucker. That depth is lackluster, so
it's a fantastic destination for Besh, who received plenty of
Pukinakua comparisons in the.
Speaker 2: Pre draft process.
Speaker 1: This allows Besch to give Gino Smith another outlet in
the short, intermediate deep element of the game. Besh is
an after the catch route running specialist, so excited for
not only his rookie outlook but careel on potential.
Speaker 2: He turns twenty three in December six two two fifteen.
Speaker 1: If available, I'll be scooping up as many Jack Best
sharers as possible in the second and third round of
rookie drafts. He is going to be an absolute joy
to watch at the NFL level. Second round pick sixty
the last second round pick offensive wise that I'll talk about.
Speaker 2: R J.
Speaker 1: Harvey to the Denver Broncos. He turned twenty four in February.
He's five nine, two oh eight. He's decisive, explosive four
point four zero forty time with a clear path that
RB one duties for the Broncos over Jalil McLoughlin. I'm
not as big of a Harvey fan out of UCF
as I am some of the other running backs that
were either Day one, like of course Ash you Gent,
Marion Hampton, Day two Quinn, Shawn Jenkins, Treyvon Henderson. Therefore,
was sort of surprised that Harvey went ahead of other
highly tided running backs in this year's class. Sean Payton
found his guy to me, if you're drafting RJ. Harvey
probably going to affect you your second round pick. You
are essentially bought in on Harvey, the product of temp.
Paydon never system you could be bought out of talent.
But I do believe truly based on the other running
backs that went in rounds three, four, five, six, seven,
there's better talent available.
Speaker 2: But that's part of dynasty.
Speaker 1: What do you weigh or factor in more landing spot
draft capital situation And that's a tough call.
Speaker 2: ARJ. Harvey.
Speaker 1: Not say I don't have any shares, just my immediate
thoughts is that if I was in Denver shoes, Harve
would not have been my pick. But Sean Payton obviously
knows best in this case scenario, and I hope the
usage aliance with the sixtieth overall selection quick break. I'll
be back with round three. My reactions and spin from
a Diners perspective, be right back.
Speaker 2: Round three.
Speaker 1: Pick sixty seven Harold Fanning Junior to the Cleveland Browns.
He's twenty one in July, so, like Mason Taylor, still
twenty by the time he was drafted, very young. Asset
sixty four to two thirty, so an in between receiver
tight end and f tight end for the sake of
personnel group beings.
Speaker 2: He can line up all of the formation.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, this is reminiscent of Isaiah Likely to
Mark Andrews, Harold.
Speaker 2: Fanning Junior should play second fiddle.
Speaker 1: Dave n Joku would become an extension of the passing game,
an additional receiver to complement Jerry Judy among others. Hope
Tecred Tilman is healthy. Not the best landing spot with
Cleveland's quarterback conundrum.
Speaker 2: More to come on that soon. All in, although.
Speaker 1: The product and tape that Fannings Junior put on display
at the college level with his reception accolades, caught all
of our attention. Now it's a matter if can he
make that leap as a day two pick in the
third round with Cleveland when there's already a starter, a
pro bow level talent they've been joking on the roster.
Third round pick sixty nine, Kyle Williams, New England twenty
three in November. He's six feet one to eighty six.
I've talked him up quite a bit this offseason. A
ninety three percent Tiles speed score. One of the best
run after catch yard to catch wideouts in this year's crop.
Sefon Diggs is wide receiver one for the Patriots, went healthy.
Assuming the ACL recovery goes according to plan wide receiver two,
it's up for grabs now between Kyle Williams, Kay Shaun Boody,
Mac Collins, Kalen Polk. Williams is going to be a
fine selection in the second to third round of rookie drafts.
Speaker 2: It's a wait and see.
Speaker 1: Drake May though, could be a good recipe for success
opposite Stephon Diggs. Patriots needing more playmakers that got them
with Treyemon Henderson and Kyle Williams at the top of
that list. Perhaps one of the best sleeper picks in
rookie drafts this summer. Third round, seventh overall Isaac Tesla
to Detroit not someone that I really knew all that
much about in my predraft process. I walked away intrigued,
but he was really not that high my pre draft rankings.
Then Detroit seventh overall makes a huge statement. He turned
twenty three in February six four two seventeen, one of
the most athletic wide receivers this year's class, with a
four point four to three to forty among other insane
measurables and metrics from the combine. In my opinion, going
back now, I'm actually more film to see what I
missed in my evaluation process. I'm seeing a discount version
of Jack Besh. So if you missed out on Jack
Besh and probably the second round, we'll see how ADP
formulates Isaac Tesla in the third for Donzie purposes, seems
like spot on value and a great investment for the
long term picture. Amen Ra, Jamie Williams, sand laport Ejmier
gabs a Montgomery. That's the bread and butter Detroit. That
being said, depth is needed and Tesla is in a
prime spot to step up if needed.
Speaker 2: If injuries will ever occur.
Speaker 1: And the Arkansas product didn't have the best production, yet
the tape stood out, and that's sometimes we have to
weigh it all and you can't follow just draft capital,
production or testing. It's a whole combined effort. And Tesla's
someone that I am post draft really excited about based
on the lang spot and draft capital.
Speaker 2: Third round picked seventy four.
Speaker 1: Pat Bryant Devon Broncos twenty three December sixth three, two hundred.
A good fit understandable with Sean Payden, who likes to
build his receiver room around height and size, Corn Sudden,
Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin, Devon Valay.
Speaker 2: They're all packed on this wide receiver total poll. So
where does Pat Bryant out of Illinois fit in.
Speaker 1: It's hard to get too excited to forecast much production,
yet you can do a lot worse in the fourth
fifth round rookie drafts if you want to stash Pat
Bryant and see what happens.
Speaker 2: Third brown, picked seventy nine.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite predraft prospects, Jalen Nole to the
Houston Texans. Disappointing land spot based on opportunity, but don't
write him off. Twenty three to September five, eleven two hundred.
He joins his former college teammates Jayden Higgins on the Texans.
Noel has a similar skill set, oddly enough, Christian Kirk,
who was brought in during the offseason from Jacksonville. It's
simply not an ideal short term situation compared.
Speaker 2: To Nole's pre draft excitement.
Speaker 1: If he would have gone elsewhere to a I receiving
eighty team, we'd be talking about this in a different light. Unfortunately,
it's reality. He's still got Day two draft capital the
third round. It's just not the destination we all hope for.
Unless this means that Tank Dell is out for the
entire twenty twenty five campaign, which is certainly possible. Christian
Kirk could also be expendable as a Houston mix means
sort of like a mecha Guka. We know Evans, Godry
McMillan our fixtures. Noel might be more of a long
term player for Houston. We have to remain patient. In Dynasty,
third round pick eighty three, I think one of the
best running back fits. I'll be honest about the biggest
Caleb Johnson fan, but to Pittsburgh essentially a direct placement
from Harris all that vacated early down work in Arthur
Smith's run focus with a scheme, It's about as good
as it gets in terms of john running back to
a need or a backfield that intends to utilize a
workhorse on early downs. Remember that Caleb Johnson had twenty
one rushes of twenty more yards and twenty twenty fourth
Iowa Trail only asking genty among other running backs. Sure
this does put a dent in Jalen Warren's upside or
potential to feature back. Nobody was going to expect that
to be the case. The Warren is undersized to be
a three down weapon. But in a sense, the same
situation Najie Harris Jalen Warren. Now it's Caleb Johnson Jalen Warren.
If anything, you might be able to acquire Warren even cheaper.
Now Warren could have the veteran edge and be the
one A to Johnson's one B. Eventually we can assume
it will be Caleb Johnson leaning this backfield. Going back
to the RJ. Harvey pick, just apples to apples. I
prefer Caleb Johnson and Pittsburgh then RJ. Harvey in Denver,
just based on the prospects, let alone the situations. That's
what makes running back so hard post drafted aside on
what do you bank or put your eggs in the basket?
Speaker 2: Is it r J.
Speaker 1: Harvey's probable, if not guaranteed role or Caleb Johnson taking
over for Najie Harris third round picked eighty seven, save
On Williams a Green Bay twenty four. In November, he
sixty five to twenty five out of TCU did it all.
He's a freak of nature when it comes to athletic ability.
He seems more of a gadget player than true receiver
based on the versatility contribute as a receiver rusher around
special teams. Where is Savan Williams going to line up
with Jayden Reed, Christian Watson went healthy, Romeo Dobbs on,
Tavian Wick's first rounder Matthew Goldvin. It's hard to find
a role or ample volume for Savion unless he's going
to be used in a hybrid role where he contributes
in certain packages offensively and is on special teams sort
of like Cordel Patterson, where you can rely on him
for kickoff or punt returns depending on how quickly he
picks up the NFL game. Third round pick ninety two
Jalen mill Road to Seattle. He turns twenty three in
December six, two to twenty five. A terrific rushing quarterback Alabama.
Who yes, is it work in progress as a passer,
but this makes sense. Seattle has Sam Darnold with an
out in the contract and Drew Locker is a backup.
It should not shock anyone if things go south for
Donald that Jayala Moreau is the developmental quarterback that eventually
takes over here or that's the long term plan. But
Donald had a terrific season with Minnesota, or Kevin O'Connell
Quint Kubiak should be able to keep that streak going.
So in super flex Milroe is probably going to land
in the second round of ADP, especially for those who
want that Jillen Hurts level upside if it all pans out,
it's a waiting game and it's a roll of the dice.
If you believe in Sam Donald, then you probably don't
believe in drafting Jail Moreau. If you are a Donald doubterer,
then more is going to be a fine selection for you,
with a lot of upside in super flex drafts.
Speaker 2: Third Brown pick ninety four.
Speaker 1: Another quarterback, Dylan Gabriel at Cleveland twenty five in December,
so in advanced age prospect not quite as old as
Tyler Schuck, but not too far behind. Gabriel's much smaller
six feet two hundred and he's a lefty. Not many
left comparisons outside of Tua and Michael Pennix Junior. As
of late to base success off of Gabriel was fantastic
Oregon last year, a seventy two point nine complete percentage rates,
and now joins a confusing and crowded quarterback room that
Kevin Sefanski has assembled in Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco and
we'll talk about it next week. Shoulder Sanders. I don't
know what to make of this situation. There's essentially four
starters or potentially the starters on this team. Would not
be surprised if Picket or Flaco are off the roster,
or if Gabriel Sanders end up on a practice squad.
I don't think anybody knows what's going to happen here.
What I will say is that from what I've read,
Cleveland really fell into the ideal concept of taking Gabriel
based on his leadership and mental components of the game
and it comes with football, so they could view him
as a potential long term starter.
Speaker 2: Picket and Flacco are expendable.
Speaker 1: This is, in my opinion, Gabriel ver Sanders as long term, developmental,
possible franchise quarterbacks. Or if Clevelan continues to struggle and
none of these quarterbacks ultimately deliver, then hit the reset button.
Time will tell I'm not overly ambitious to select Gabriel
or should do Sanders and superflexiagunless they fall to the
third round or later. At that point there's more room
for profit than loss. And finally, last pick of the
third round for a fantasy spin pick one OZ two
Ty Felton, Minnesota Vikings. He turned twenty two of March
intriguing SI speed combination here six two one blazing forty
times a four point three seven seconds at the combine,
but enters a receiver room of Justin Jefferson Jordan Addison,
not to mention Teja Hockinson with little room for volume
see as example, Jayaen Naylor in twenty twenty four. So sure,
third round draft capital sneaks into Day two, but to
what extent are we going to be reaching for Ti
Felton in drafts not very high. This is more of
a real life impact than early pick in donasy Rogeye drafts.
Speaker 2: That will do it up.
