Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks

1.03 – Carnell Tate (WR – Ohio State)

Tate is a fluid mover who looks like he’s gliding down the field at all times. He has easy, effortless acceleration and speed. Tate pulls away from corners on crossing and vertical routes. He has no issues stacking corners. Tate can threaten a defense at all three levels. Tate is a savvy route runner with an in-depth understanding of how to manipulate corners with a variety of pacing variations in his routes, head fakes, and jab steps. He loses little speed when linking these separation tools together. The snap at the top of his stems is crisp and sudden. Tate’s play strength shows up during routes and at the catch point. He has incredible body control to make difficult catches outside of his frame look easy and routine with arrogant hands. He snags the ball away from his body with a litany of sideline catches. Tate finishes college with a 68.8% contested catch rate and a 4% drop rate (including zero drops in his final season). One area that Tate will have to improve upon in the NFL is consistently beating press coverage. He can get hung up at times with physical corners that can get into his body and stall him. It’s not a consistent issue as he has plenty of high-level reps against press where corners flail as they attempt to slow him down, but it’s worth noting.

2.03 – Mike Washington Jr. (RB – Arkansas)

Washington has a stout, muscular frame. He’s an upright runner with solid contact balance and above-average burst with the long speed to hit a crease and take it to the house. In 2025, he was 12th in runs of 15 yards or more and 17th in breakaway rate. Washington has a starter/three-down skill set. Washington has solid but not outstanding lateral agility. He can make people miss and take advantage of cut-back opportunities with his nimble feet, but his hips are tight, which can limit him at times. Washington runs with power and can lower his shoulder when needed. Washington is a better pass catcher than his yards per route run would suggest. He has a soft set of hands that led to only one drop in his final collegiate season. While he might never be a player that is “featured” in the passing game, he has the necessary skills to operate as a three-down back. Washington is already a solid pass protector. He has the play strength to hold his ground and the foot quickness to adjust to incoming rushers. Over the last two seasons (140 pass blocking snaps), he allowed only one sack and six hurries.

3.03 – Skyler Bell (WR – UConn)

4.03 – Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR – Missouri)

5.03 – Taylen Green (QB – Arkansas)
