Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks

1.03 – Emeka Egbuka (WR – Ohio State)

Emeka Egbuka probably has a higher floor than Luther Burden, though he doesn’t offer quite the same level of pizzazz. An NFL-ready slot receiver, Egbuka is an advanced route runner who gets into his routes quickly and makes sharp cuts. He sets up defenders for his moves, and then – bang! – makes his break and separates. Egbuka isn’t really a burner, but he’s a shifty fellow who consistently makes yardage after the catch. Bonus: Egbuka was able to assert himself at OSU even though the Buckeyes had an abundance of WR talent throughout his time in Columbus, suggesting we needn’t worry if Egbuka lands on an NFL team that has other good pass catchers.

2.03 – Elic Ayomanor (WR – Stanford)

Hailing from noted football hotbed Medicine Hat, Alberta, Elic Ayomanor (pronounced “AY-o-manner”) is a lusty competitor who physically dominates cornerbacks and blocks his rear end off. Good luck trying to tackle him once Ayomanor gets the ball in his hands. He’s had some minor issues with drops, but there are a lot of instances on film where Ayomanor runs a slant and plucks a slightly off-target throw with ease. Ask star Colorado CB/WR Travis Hunter what he thinks of Ayomanor. In 2023, Ayomanor lit up Hunter for 13 catches, 294 yards and three touchdowns in a 46-43 Stanford win.

3.03 – Jayden Higgins (WR – Iowa State)

Jayden Higgins was the peanut butter to Jaylin Noel‘s jelly at Iowa State. The two flavors worked well together, and it’s hard to say which was the more valuable component of the sandwich. The 6-4, 217-pound Higgins moves well for a bigger receiver and has sure hands. He had 87-1,183-9 receiving for the Cyclones last fall.
