Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks
Pat Fitzmaurice breaks down each of his picks from this dynasty rookie mock draft.
1.03 – Omarion Hampton (RB – LAC)
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. The Chargers grabbed Hampton at No. 22 in the draft and figure to start him ahead of Najee Harris, whom they added in free agency. This seems likely to be a 60-40 split in Hampton’s favor.
2.03 – Cam Skattebo (RB – NYG)
After a monster season for Arizona State in which he had 293-1,711-21 rushing and 45-605-3 receiving, Cam Skattebo now heads to the Giants, where he’ll work in tandem with talented second-year RB Tyrone Tracy. 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. The best guess here is that Skattebo and Tracy split work pretty evenly, but it seems a good bet that Skattebo will a majority of the goal-line carries. Skattebo is worth a first-round pick in 1QB rookie drafts and a late first-round or early second-round pick in superflex rookie drafts.
3.03 – Jaydon Blue (RB – DAL)
Jaydon Blue immediately becomes an intriguing fantasy option by virtue of landing with the Cowboys, who took him in the fifth round. Dallas has Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders as the top two veterans on their RB depth chart, so Blue has a chance to earn playing time right away. The 5-9, 205-pound Blue is an explosive runner who clocked a 4.38 at the combine. But Blue’s slight build might make him a role player at the NFL level.
4.03 – Jalen Royals (WR – KC)
A talented rookie receiver headed to the Chiefs? Dynasty managers should probably take interest in fourth-round pick Jaylen Royals. A terrific route runner who’s lethal after the catch, Royals 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. He’s worth your attention in the second or third round of rookie drafts.
5.03 – Kyle Monangai (RB – CHI)
It seemed inevitable that the Bears would spend an early-round pick on a running back this year, but they waited until the seventh round before finally taking one: Kyle Monangai of Rutgers. If only the 5-9, 209-pound Kyle Monangai were a little bigger or a little faster. He’s an absolute warrior who runs like he’s 6-1, 225. Monangai ran for more than 1,200 yards in each of his final two seasons at Rutgers. He has terrific vision and instincts, and he’s a fighter who doesn’t go down easily. Despite his smaller frame, the lion-hearted Monangai will lower his shoulder and try to barrel over a tackler. He’s always falling forward at the end of runs. If Monangai were a prolific pass catcher, it would be easier to overlook his lack of size. Unfortunately, he had only 38 catches in 52 college games. There’s a chance he could carve out a role in Chicago, but it’s also possible the Bears will sign a veteran such as Nick Chubb or J.K. Dobbins, which would make it hard for Monangai to get on the field as a rookie.
