Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice: Oscar Delp

I’m a big fan of Delp. He didn’t produce much in college at Georgia, but at his Pro Day, he ran a 4.49 40-yard dash. Delp wasn’t targeted much at Georgia, but when he was, he was more than reliable. He’ll be able to work outside or inside and be a valuable pass-catching option for Tyler Shough. His blocking is a question mark, but if they deploy him exclusively as a pass-catcher, I think, after a year of figuring things out and recovering from his foot injury, he could be fantastic. You can probably get away with getting him in the last round of rookie drafts, and I’d absolutely take the chance.

DBro’s NFL Draft Scouting Report & Player Comp: Oscar Delp

Scouting Report:

Oscar Delp is an athletic freak with a 4.49 40-yard dash, a 96th percentile vertical jump and a 96th percentile broad jump. He’s a fluid athlete whose speed immediately jumps off the film. Delp has the raw speed to house call any screen pass. Delp’s 2025 season was impressive, especially considering that he played the entire year with a hairline fracture in his foot. He didn’t go through combine drills as the fracture was discovered during a routine X-ray leading up to the combine.
Delp is a ball of clay who could develop into a top-shelf tight end in the NFL. He’s at his best when operating against zone coverage and as a dump-and-run tight end right now. Delp has to continue to develop his release package and route-running chops if he’s going to hit his ceiling as a player, but he has the raw talent to do so. He was heavily utilized on seam shots, flats and crossers, which made up 70.3% of his route tree in 2025.
Delp can chew up yards after the catch. He ranked 10th and 23rd in yards after the catch per reception over the last two seasons. He’s not a tackle-breaking behemoth, but that’s not to say he could develop into a better one with his athletic traits. Delp forced only nine missed tackles in college (94 targets). Delp relies upon his immediate and lightning-quick speed to produce YAC at this juncture.
Delp could easily put on another 10 pounds to his frame and likely not compromise his speed and fluidity. He displays good body control in the air with fluid hips to adjust to targets behind him and easily convert into a runner without losing a beat.
Delp also has to clean up his blocking technique. He has a solid first punch but doesn’t sustain his blocks. He has the lateral agility and lower body strength to recover during the play when initially beaten. He has the physical talent to become at least a league-average blocker. I will say, though, he is more consistent as a run blocker. He can displace defenders when needed, but during many reps, he’s simply locking down his patch of grass.
