Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks
Derek Brown provides his analysis of a few of these superflex dynasty rookie mock draft picks.
1.02 – Fernando Mendoza (QB – Indiana)
2.02 – Kenyon Sadiq (TE – Oregon)
Kenyon Sadiq should be a full-time starter for an NFL team from the jump. Not only does he deliver upside as a receiver, but Sadiq is a difference maker as a blocker. Sadiq can hold his area of grass with a strong anchor and high motor. Sadiq was also utilized as an edge-setting blocker and lead option with the running game for the backs and quarterback-designed runs. Sadiq has fluid hips that allow him to uncover at the top of his stems quickly. He has to improve his route running with the footwork at the top of his stems and his salesmanship during his routes. That isn’t to say that Sadiq is a bad route runner. That’s definitely not the case. He has the raw speed to pull away from corners during routes and up the seam. He flashes good ball tracking with downfield seam routes and impressive body control in the air. He has the play strength and above-the-rim skills that play well at the catch point and in the red zone. Sadiq’s catch radius is massive, with the skills to adjust to targets thrown low and behind him. He can operate as a dump-and-run option for an NFL passing attack with the ability to create yards after the catch. Sadiq can break tackles in the open field with strong contact balance and a thick lower half, which is great because he isn’t the twitchiest player with the ball in his hands. His athletic upside will determine his ceiling in the NFL. Sadiq should, at the very least, present a high floor as a strong starter in the NFL with the upside to be among the league’s best at the position. Sadiq can snap off a decent whip route, but it won’t blow you out of your shoes. The lack of suddenness in some of his change of direction and route running could be a result of an athletic ceiling, but it could also be related to some needed growth as a technician.
3.02 – Demond Claiborn (RB – Wake Forest)
4.02 – Ted Hurst (WR – Georgia State)
Hurst has a thin but muscular frame. His play strength is surprising for his frame. He doesn’t get pushed off routes and fits through contact well. Hurst has immediate and fluid speed with easy change of direction. He loses little speed when subtly changing directions mid-route. Hurst has a nice homerun gear in the open field. He’s a refined route runner with a varied release package. Hurst can invite indecision in cornerbacks’ heads as he sets them up and dances in their blind spot. He sells the vertical push well and has solid hip sink and deceleration skills for a player his size. Hurst can play above the rim with good adjustment to back shoulder throws and nice body control in the air. He displays a large catch radius. Hurst displays late hands. His drop rate decreased in every year of college, with a 9% rate in his final season. He’s a ball winner at the catch point with a 61.1% contested catch rate for his collegiate career. 50/50 balls become 60/40 balls for Hurst.
5.02 – Brenen Thompson (WR – Mississippi State)
Elite speed. Thompson can hit the gas and run by corners. He has electric acceleration and regains top speed effortlessly as a double move demon. Thompson has crisp footwork and route running, but if physical corners can run with him and get their hands on him, it’s not tough to press him into oblivion. Thompson has a quick gear down on comebacks with the added advantage of an extra cushion. Corners will play off him more as they protect against his speed and getting burned downfield. Thompson can track deep balls with the best of them. I don’t foresee him being a high-volume receiver in the NFL because of his size, but he can easily be a situational deep threat with some manufactured touch usage. Last year, 29.9% of his target volume came via deep targets, and 45.3% of his receiving yardage was from deep passing (five of his six touchdowns). Thompson can break a defense with his speed and vision in the open field, but he won’t offer much YAC if a defender can get their hands on him. He is brought down easily once contacted. With his size, he absorbs some massive hits.
