Dynasty Rookie Draft Sleepers
A poor week at the Senior Bowl sapped some of the enthusiasm for Jalen Milroe in the dynasty community, but Milroe is an electric runner with a powerful arm. That combination will pique the interest of NFL teams. If Milroe is a top-40 NFL Draft pick, expect him to be a top-15 pick in superflex rookie drafts.
D.J. 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.
Damien Martinez is a 230-pounder who plays like a 200-pounder. Martinez was productive in all three of his college seasons, the first two at Oregon State, the last one at Miami. Martinez is remarkably shifty. He has surprising speed and lateral agility, and watching him maneuver through traffic is fun.
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.
Jalen Royals (WR – Utah State)
Jalen Royals is a terrific route runner who’s lethal after the catch. He was wildly productive at Utah State, with 126 catches for 1,914 yards and 21 TDs over 20 games in his final two college seasons.
Tai Felton is a terrific ball-tracker with good hands and route-running ability. He’s coming off a big senior season in which he had 96-1,124-9 receiving. At 6-2, 181 pounds, Felton is thin, but he doesn’t look skinny. He’s a surprisingly good tackle-breaker for a lighter guy, and he’s not afraid of contact.
