Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks

1.06 – Shedeur Sanders (QB – Colorado)

Shedeur Sanders isn’t just an accurate passer, he’s downright conscientious with his ball placement. He puts his throws in spots where they can’t be intercepted and won’t lead his receivers into big hits. He doesn’t have a rocket arm, but Sanders has NFL-caliber velocity, and he has a nice, snappy release. Sanders has some attributes NFL teams are going to appreciate. He’s good at making presnap reads. He throws with anticipation. He has excellent mobility within the pocket. Unfortunately, Sanders probably won’t deliver much fantasy value as a runner. He keeps his eyes downfield while scrambling, looking to make a play. It’s a quality that fantasy managers appreciate less than NFL teams do. I think Sanders will most likely become an average to above-average NFL starter. I doubt he will become a star, and I doubt he will flop. As valuable as quarterbacks are in superflex leagues, that makes him worthy of a top-three pick in rookie drafts. Sanders is a polarizing prospect. His dad, Pro Football Hall of Famer and current Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, has plenty of haters. Shedeur, too, has his haters. There’s going to be a lot of noise in the coming weeks about Shedeur being an immature nepo baby. In many instances, these barbs will be coming from the worst people in sports media. Hatred of the Sanders family is good for business in some cases. Ignore the slander and turn on the tape. I think you’ll like what you see.

2.06 – Kaleb Johnson (RB – Iowa)

Johnson is a fluid mover. He glides across the field with good bend around the edge. Some have questioned Johnson’s speed, but I have no worries about his raw speed. Johnson hits the gas as soon as he sees a sliver of daylight and can hit dingers. Johnson has a great feel for pressing and flowing through a run in sync with his offensive line. He can stop on a dime in the second level, pivoting and then hitting the gas again as he blows past a defender. He can make people miss in a phone booth. Johnson can stiff-arm a defender into the ground, but he isn’t a dominating physical runner. He excels with vision, footwork, bend, and speed. He isn’t a pile-pushing physical presence as a rusher, but he does keep his legs moving through contact. Johnson is still a work in progress in pass pro, but he has all the tools to become a serviceable option in this realm. His hands are strong like magnets. Once he gets his mitts on a rusher, he isn’t letting go of them. He needs to improve his pass-blocking technique by utilizing his lower half and setting up lower, but the raw intangibles are there. Johnson was utilized as a receiving option in a limited capacity. He was a trustworthy option, though, with only two drops in his collegiate career. He was mostly used as a check-down option running flat or swing routes from the backfield. He did get the occasional angle route or outside alignment with a slant route. His loose hips and short-area agility give hope that he offers more in the NFL as a receiver than he showed in college.

3.06 – Bhayshul Tuten (RB – Virginia Tech)

Tuten has solid burst and nice long speed, but Tuten doesn’t consistently win the edge on stretch plays. He’s best suited for a run scheme that will allow him to get north/south with one cut and hit the gas. He has good bend in traffic and can utilize decent footwork to solve problems in space, but you won’t see Tuten with jump cut highlights where a defender is launched into the shadow realm. He loses speed substantially when attempting to string together multiple moves to spring himself. Tuten has a short, squatty build and can run through weak wraps with decent power, but don’t expect him to be a short-yardage back or pile mover in the NFL. He needs momentum built up to access this, with these flashes occurring in the second level of defenses. Tuten’s ball security issues will be brought up in the beginning of any conversation regarding his game. That’s an unfortunate fact when you have nine fumbles over the last two years. This could be related to small hands, as his faulty hands have also plagued him in the passing game, with nine drops over the last three seasons. He’s a decent check-down option in the passing game, operating with flat routes, leaks out of the backfield, and with swing passes primarily. His short-area lateral agility limitations and questionable hands cap his upside in the passing game.

4.06 – Damien Martinez (RB – Miami)

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.

5.06 – Brashard Smith (RB – SMU)

Smith is a converted slot wide receiver who transferred from Miami to SMU and switched to running back. He was also a wide receiver in high school. His feel for the running back position is impressive, considering the short timeframe that he has been a full-time player at the position. Smith is lightning in a travel-sized bottle. He is a quick and decisive runner with silky smooth feet. He runs with conviction but also has the patience to allow his blocks to set up in front of him. He wins with lateral agility, speed, and vision. Smith’s frame and wide receiver background show up in his rushing style. He isn’t a powerful or physical runner, but he can churn out yards quickly. Smith isn’t a decorated pass protector. He is adept at picking up rushers and understanding his assignment, but he will sometimes drop his head and eyes and lunge at defenders. Smith’s wide receiver background is evident when you watch him run routes. He was deployed from the slot or out wide on 14.7% of his snaps in 2024. He can exploit the soft spots in zone coverage and also has the raw speed (4.39 40 speed) to burn corners with a double move. Smith plucks balls out away from his frame. He could be a nice chess piece for a creative offensive coordinator in the NFL.
