Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks

Derek Brown shares his breakdown of each of the selections from the fifth pick in this dynasty rookie mock draft.

1.05 – K.C. Concepcion (WR – Texas A&M)

Concepcion has outside/inside versatility. He played in the slot 82.1-92.7% prior to 2025 before transitioning to the perimeter (65.3%) in his final season. Concepcion has the skill set to play either role in the NFL. His speed is immediate and palpable on film (high 4.3/low 4.4 40 speed). Concepcion explodes off the line and can easily stack corners on nine routes. He has good bend in his routes and can change directions without losing speed. Concepcion is a threat at all three levels of a defense. His first step is devastatingly quick, which allows him to earn easy separation on crossers and drag routes. One area that he can improve in his route running is his hip sink and decelerating at the top of his stem. He can be more efficient and sudden at the top of his stem on whip routes and comebacks. He has a varied release package off the line and the upper body strength to handle press. I don’t have any concerns with his ability to separate in the NFL against man and press coverage. Concepcion adds all the little bells and whistles to his routes like jab steps, variations in pacing, head fakes, etc. He sets up corners well and has a strong sense of leverage and route pacing against zone coverage, with the feel of where to sit down in zone. His play strength serves him well during routes and at the catch point. He isn’t knocked off his routes and can play through contact. During his final collegiate season, Concepcion had a 66.7% contested catch rate. He plays bigger than his listed size as a ball winner at the catch point and as a receiver who can make difficult shoestring catches and play above the rim. Concepcion is a YAC threat that can also be utilized in the manufactured touch department and run game. He finished his collegiate career with 431 rushing yards (6.2 yards per carry) while also ranking inside the top 33 in YAC per reception twice in his three collegiate seasons. Drops will be part of the conversation of his eval with a 10.3% drop rate or higher in his final two seasons. I’m not worried about his hands, though. There are far too many occasions in his film where he comes down with an immensely difficult catch, or he secures a pass and immediately is hit and holds onto the ball, that I’m not worried about his hands.

2.05 – 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.

3.05 – 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.

4.05 – 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.

5.05 – Taylen Green (QB – Arkansas)

Dual threat passer. Green averaged 113 rushing attempts and 600.8 rushing yards over the last four years of college (8.8 rushing touchdowns per season). Green has build-up speed and the size to be a goalline threat in the NFL. He’s a straight-line runner without a ton of wiggle. He’s best viewed as an opportunistic scrambler at the next level with some upside in the designed run game. Green has the arm strength to make every NFL throw necessary. He has easy flick of the wrist velocity. His windup can get long at times, leaving the ball coming out a touch late, though. His accuracy on intermediate throws is decent, with thoughtful ball placement at times, where he’s helping his receivers avoid hospital collisions. Green’s overall accuracy is spotty, though. His deep ball can lack touch, especially on boundary go balls or corner of the end zone shots. His footwork can lapse at times, which doesn’t help his accuracy issues. His second level passes lack touch at times as he resorts to line drive fastballs when he needs to layer the ball. His pocket presence needs refinement. Green is late to feel the rush many times and doesn’t have the quick-twitch abilities to bail him out of danger situations. He wasn’t tasked with full field reads at Arkansas, but he’ll hang on his first read or miss receivers running wide open at times. Green feels a tick late at times getting the ball out. His trigger has to speed up to the pace of the NFL game.
