Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice

Tre Harris (WR – Ole Miss)

Harris is a nasty route runner. He has a deep release package with pacing variations and a bevy of in-route nuance. Harris plays 4D chess while corners are still playing checkers. He invites indecision into corners’ heads every snap. He gears down well at the top of his stem and can drop his hips easily. Harris has numerous moments in his film where he will set up corners for a later move. He will threaten deep or burn them on a double move when the play isn’t designed to come his way. That rep made the defender guard against getting burned deep as Harris snapped off a hitch route with razor-sharp precision. Harris isn’t a burner. He likely has 4.5 speed. I worry if he has enough raw speed to stack corners on go routes consistently, but that doesn’t mean he is slow, nor that he can’t get free downfield with his requisite juice and route running. Harris is the “PostMaster General.” He excels at using his big frame, route running, and speed to burn corners on posts deep. Harris offers YAC upside with his blend of speed and play strength. He has the necessary lower and upper body strength to run through tacklers, stiff-arm them, or shed them easily when they aim high. The highlight reel catches from Harris where he skies above a defender or adjusts to a back shoulder ball are glorious. Harris is a ball-winner at the catch point with contested catch rates north of 60% in two of his last four collegiate seasons.

Colston Loveland (TE – Michigan)

Loveland is a high-cut runner. His movement skills more closely resemble those of a big wide receiver than those of a tight end. His quick feet and loose hips allow him to succeed as a route winner more than his raw speed or physicality. He can juke defenders at the top of his stem or uncover quickly by flipping his hips. Loveland has more build-up speed than explosion off the line, but he does have enough raw speed and juice to stretch the seam. Loveland is a strong route runner. He flashes a varied release package and can win on the perimeter. His play strength shows up best mid-route or off the line, as he can hold his own with physical linebackers or corners. Loveland isn’t a physical mauler or tackle-breaker. He managed only 5.4 yards after the catch per reception and eight total missed tackles in his collegiate career at Michigan. He can avoid some defenders with his footwork and quick acceleration at the catch, but he won’t bully defenders or stiff-arm them into another area code with the ball in his hands. He’s an adequate blocker in all phases. He has enough power and anchor to stand up a linebacker when blocking for a screen or setting the edge for a rushing play. Blocking won’t be his calling card in the NFL, but it also won’t deter a team from feeding him a 70% plus snap rate immediately.

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.

RJ Harvey (RB – UCF)

R.J. Harvey is small (5-9, 208) and overaged (24). But holy-moly, what a fun player to watch. Harvey has outstanding quickness and lateral agility. His jump-cuts are something to behold. Harvey also has great vision, quickly discerning where holes are and decisively dashing through them. He’s also a capable pass catcher and a high academic achiever. The production at UCF the last two years was absurd: 42 touchdowns, just under 3,000 rushing yards, and more than 500 receiving yards. The ageists and sizeists aren’t going to like Harvey, but open-minded dynasty managers might fall in love with him.
