Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks

Derek Brown shares his outlook for several of these dynasty rookie draft picks from our latest mock.

1.10 – Denzel Boston (WR – Washington)

Boston is a prototypical tall, long-striding X receiver. His hips are a tad tight, but he compensates with solid footwork, allowing him to gear down and snap off the top of his stem well. His play strength is evident in his routes and at the catch point. Boston can deal with physical corners. It’s tough to push him off his route, and he has the upper body strength necessary to deal with press flashing, strong hand fighting, club, and rip. Boston’s fluidity above the rim is exquisite. His numbers in 2025 could have been even more robust with better quarterback play. Boston has an enormous catch radius with his combination of velcro hands and body control. He made his quarterback right a ton of times when the throw was wrong. Boston is a ball winner at the catch point with at least a 62.8% contested catch rate over the last two seasons. His hands are sound with 4.5% and 3.1% drop rates in that timeframe. Boston should be a red zone threat in the NFL from Day 1. He has numerous high-end reps near the goal line with fade routes on his 2025 film. Boston doesn’t have elite raw speed, but he’s fast enough to get the job done as a field stretcher with his route running, release package, and quick acceleration, giving him the ability to not only win in the short areas of the field but downfield as well. Boston has a varied release package and a good understanding of route adjustment and leverage. He might struggle to stack corners with elite speed, but he can still win at the catch point and with back shoulder targets.

2.10 – Skyler Bell (WR – UConn)

Bell has quick and immediate acceleration (65th percentile 10-yard split). He can quickly decelerate and get back up to top speed with smooth double moves. He can churn out YAC for a passing game, as evidenced by his 8.2 yards after the catch per reception in 2025. He has the upper-body strength and lateral agility to make defenders miss in space (26 missed tackles forced over the last two years). Bell needs to improve the efficiency of his releases and footwork off the line. He can take a second to launch into his route. In the NFL, this hesitation/exaggerated footwork will leave him a tick behind with some plays. The needed refinement in his releases and expansion as a route runner shows up when he’s asked to win vertically. Corners have no issue sticking with him as he doesn’t consistently stack defenders. There’s also limited exposure from the games I watched of him as a vertical element in a passing game. In 2025, he had only 17% of his target volume come via deep targets. I wouldn’t be shocked if Bell is moved to the slot in the NFL (61.1-69.2% on the perimeter over the last two years). Bell faced a ton of off coverage with free releases at the line. UConn also utilized him with plenty of bunch formations and on screens (28.3% of his target volume in 2025). Ball excels versus zone coverage, but I have questions about how he’ll fare against man and press situations.

3.10 – Bryce Lance (WR – North Dakota State)

Lance is a fluid athlete with smooth hips and lightning-fast speed. He can quickly get up to top gear while also having the skill to stop on a dime and sink his hips on comebacks and curls. He’s deadly on out and ups and double moves. Overall, Lance is a strong route runner who plays through contact. He can gain early separation with a solid release package and the in-route bells and whistles. Lance can telegraph his route breaks at times with exaggerated movements at the top of his stem. He’ll need to continue to clean that up, but it’s not a consistent issue. Lance is an electric field stretcher with solid ball tracking and the body control to adjust to back shoulder targets and sideline catches. Lance is a catch point winner with a 61.5% contested target catch rate. He flashes a soft set of hands with only a 3.8% drop rate, which is even more impressive when you consider the degree of difficulty of his targets. Lance has a 14.1 aDOT in college with 15.5 aDOT in his final season. In 2025, 30.4% of his target volume was 20 yards or more downfield.

4.10 – Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR – Missouri)

Coleman Jr. is a zone-destroying specialist from the slot who also adds an element of verticality to a passing attack. His speed and burst are immediate and palpable when turning on the film. Coleman offers toughness and YAC ability with not only his speed but also his underrated tackle-breaking ability. Over the last two seasons, he ranked 17th and fifth among wide receivers in missed tackles forced. Coleman has good vision in traffic and looks like a running back with the ball in his hands, bouncing off defenders. Coleman can destroy corners underneath with slants and outs while also stretching the field with slot fades, etc. He has good snap at the top of his stems and can change direction without losing much speed. He displays solid ball tracking downfield. With his smaller frame, Coleman has a smaller catch radius. His hands aren’t a concern, though, with only a 3.4% drop rate in college. He does display strength at the catch point when presented with muddy situations, with a 53.7% collegiate contested catch rate.

5.10 – Desmond Reid (RB – Pittsburgh)
