Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks

1.04 – Omarion Hampton (RB – UNC)

Maybe dynasty folk would be more excited about Omarion Hampton if Ashton Jeanty didn’t exist. Hampton piled up 3,100 rushing yards and 30 TD runs over his last two seasons at North Carolina. He also had 67 receptions over that span. The 220-pound Hampton is a powerful downhill runner who’s a nightmare to bring down when he has a full head of steam. He’s terrific between the tackles, squeezing through tight spaces and powering through contact. Although he doesn’t string moves together very often, Hampton is decisive with his cuts and has surprising lateral agility. He’s good at reading linebackers and cutting back after they commit. Hampton isn’t everyone’s RB2 in this class, but a lot of dynasty enthusiasts have him ranked as the runner-up to Jeanty.

2.04 – 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.

3.04 – Isaiah Bond (WR – Texas)

As a small, blazing-fast receiver coming out of the University of Texas, Isaiah Bond is sure to draw comparisons to Xavier Worthy. But Worthy had 12 touchdowns and nearly 1,000 receiving yards as a freshman. Bond never had a 700-yard campaign across three college seasons (two at Alabama, one at Texas) and never had a season where he averaged even 50 receiving yards a game. But Bond will become a coveted dynasty asset if some NFL team falls in love with his speed and drafts him in the second round.

4.04 – DJ Giddens (RB – Kansas State)

D.J. Giddens isn’t lightning-fast, but he’s such a smart runner. Giddens has good vision and patience. He’s a smooth mover who changes direction without gearing down. Giddens sets up linebackers with feints and dekes, then cuts sharply in the opposite direction once those LBs commit. Giddens also has good contact balance, which – let’s face it – you need to have if you’re an NFL running back with ordinary speed.
– Pat Fitzmaurice

5.04 – Trevor Etienne (RB – Georgia)

Etienne maximizes every opportunity. He is a patient, saavy runner who allows his blocks to set up in front of him. He has a fantastic vision paired with smooth lateral agility and tenacious legs. He keeps his legs churning through contact and breaks plenty of tackles because of it. He has 4.4/4.5 40 yard dash speed that plays up because of his vision and decisiveness. Etienne has the second gear to erase plenty of pursuit angles. His well rounded skillset allows him to be a scheme agnostic back. Georgia’s offensive line didn’t do him many favors in 2024, ranking 43rd in run blocking grade. Etienne is a sound receiving option out of the backfield. He can operate from the slot and split out wide with the ability to get open on out routes and slants. Etienne’s hands are as dependable as they come with only one drop in college. He secured 62 of 63 collegiate targets.
