Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks

1.06 – TreVeyon Henderson (RB – Ohio State)

Henderson’s juice jumps out immediately as soon as you turn on the film. He consistently looks shot out of a cannon. Henderson, at times, will take a handoff and slow play the beginning of a rushing play as he casually inches toward the line before dropping the hammer into fourth gear and exploding upfield. The changeup can leave defenses on their heels. Henderson runs angry like a pissed-off Tasmanian devil. Despite his smaller muscular frame, Henderson runs with underrated power. While he’s not a player who will consistently punish defenses with his physicality, he can run through contact and deal out a mean, stiff arm. Henderson’s feet are electric. He’s a big play waiting to happen. He’s shifty, utilizing jump cuts and jab steps near the line and in the open field to find space in defenses to exploit. Henderson also has a wicked spin move that he’ll use when defenders immediately penetrate the backfield, and he has to evade a tackler immediately after receiving a handoff. His tenacity as a pass protector is evident. He has no issue launching himself at incoming rushers to keep his quarterback clean. He plays with fearlessness as a pass protector. Henderson anchors well for a back his size, and he has numerous reps where he puts defenders on their butts when they attempt to get near his quarterback. Henderson is a serviceable receiver. He operated out of the backfield with flat routes and swing passes on many plays. He has the short-area agility to grow as a route runner at the next level. Henderson’s size and lengthy injury history likely slot him in as the thunder component of a running back-by-committee situation, but that doesn’t mean that he can’t handle 12-15 touches weekly and make the most out of his volume.

2.06 – 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.

3.06 – Cam Skattebo (RB – Arizona State)

Cam Skattebo is coming off a monster season for ASU in which he had 293-1,711-21 rushing and 45-605-3 receiving. Casual college football fans learned Skattebo’s name when he had 233 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in Arizona State’s overtime loss to Texas in the College Football Playoffs. Skattebo’s ultra-physical style belies his 5-11, 215-pound frame. He has a zest for contact and isn’t going to be brought down with an arm tackle. Skattebo keeps his feet pumping through contact and always seems to be falling forward at the end of runs. This is one ultra-competitive cat.

4.06 – Elijah Arroyo (TE – Miami)

Elijah Arroyo is among the better TE prospects in a deep and talented TE class. Arroyo’s draft stock soared after a superb showing at the Senior Bowl. His hands and route-running should translate nicely to the NFL level.
– Pat Fitzmaurice

5.06 – Nick Nash (WR – San Jose State)

Nash is a fascinating prospect – a 6-foot-3 converted ex-quarterback who racked up 104 catches for 1,382 yards and an FBS-high 16 touchdown catches in his final college season. Nash has a rare combination of size and speed. He has a huge catch radius. Nash’s QB experience seems to help him diagnose zone coverage. Nash needs route-running refinement – understandable for a player who’s only played the position for a few years. But Nash has big-time upside. He’ll be one of my favorite targets in the latter rounds of rookie drafts.
