2023 Running Back Draft Grades
Senior Bowl has wrapped up and honestly did not adjust much. As always, thoughts are in the thread:
🔹Grades are a mix of Analytics and Film
🔹DC is assumed
🔹The class is deep, with a solid group of high end talent
Pre-Draft top 20 WRs for the 2023 Draft class
Expect Pre-Draft movement based on:
🔹Players not declaring
🔹Senior Bowl Performance
🔹Combine / Weigh-ins
Will adjust based on draft capital/landing spot and tweet a list post-NFL draft. (Some thoughts on current class in thread)
Here we go again with disinformation, here is Zays’ P5 offer sheet:
Boston College
Kentucky
Kansas State
Maryland
NC State
Nebraska
North Carolina
South Carolina
Pitt
Purdue
Syracuse
Took me 5 seconds to check if this was false, do better.
Zay Flowers was a 3-star recruit and received just ONE Power 5 offer from Boston College.
Before last season, he was offered multiple six-figure NIL deals to transfer out of Boston.
Flowers chose the route of loyalty and stuck with the school that believed in him first.

My honest thoughts on National Team Senior Bowl Day 2 (Skill position focused):
QB Bo Nix - Really struggles deep and doesn't step into his throws. Excellent passer in the short area
QB Michael Penix - No Change, he was good
QB Sam Hartman - No change
RB Isaiah Davis -
My honest thoughts on National Team Senior Bowl Day 1 (Skill position focused):

National Team:
QB Michael Penix - kept throwing the ball where he wanted the WR to go, instead of where they headed. He doesn't have that type of chemistry with players out there. He
People love to pump up PFF Grading.
But PFF Grading would’ve had you OUT on Amon-Ra St. Brown – who posted a 71.7 PFF Receiving Grade in his final college season.
Going back this week and rewatching some Senior Bowl players who caught my eye:
OG Christian Haynes
CB DJ James
RB Jaylen Wright
Really excited to dive back in on Wright after checking the practice tape from Mobile. He'll be moving up for me.
Senior Bowl All-Practice Offense:
QB: Michael Pratt

Idk I’d you’re being serious but this guy is trolling a doctor from a a week ago that listed 5 backups to pick up and CMC happened to get injuried.
Keidron Smith vs. Grant Dubose
UK Alumni locking down Grant. He was a late addition after playing well in the NFLPA bowl the week prior. This young corner should be watched closely, he is a clear riser, the question is how far

RB Zach Evans, Ole Miss
🔹6’/215lbs
🔹5⭐️/RB2
🔹Efficient in two separate systems
🔹Violent, almost to a fault
🔹Patient for the cut back lanes
🔹Bursty, Great in short area
2023 RB3, don’t be afraid of durability when if comes to a prospect of this talent. No major injuries.
Now that the College season is over, with the exception of 4 teams, I wanted to highlight NFL Mock Draft Trends from Week 1 of the NCAA season to mocks done the last 2 weeks

13 Concerns/Notes/General thoughts in the thread below⬇️⬇️
Y'all need to stop sleeping on Jalen McMillan because he was injured for half of the 2023 season. McMillan and Odunze were 1A/1B, McMillan was not the WR3 in Washington's offense
🚨2022 RB Draft Prospect Watchlist🚨
Over the last month I’ve watched tape and wrote profiles on 15 players, I watched tape on a few other guys, too.
Similar to how I did WRs, I will break them up in tiers followed by actual rankings (attached will be their profiles)
I have a growing concern of the 2024 RB class, some thoughts:
1. Raheim Sanders is looking too thick, like he lost some mobility
2. Still waiting on Henderson to look like his freshmen form
3. I'm just not confident we see Jase McClellan put it together
4. Ja'Quinden Jackson

Projecting 2024 NFL Draft Capital, Running Back
I nailed this last year going 14/18, doubt I could do this 2 years in a row.
TreVeyon Henderson - 2nd
Braelon Allon - Late 2nd-3rd
Devin Neal - Late 2nd - 3rd
Trey Benson - 3rd - 4th
Marshawn Lloyd - 4th-5th
DJ Giddens* - 4th-5th
I know dynasty Twitter starts getting familiar with the draft prospects around this time, WRs with Early Declare status:
1. MHJ
2. Malik Nabers
3. Xavier Worthy
4. Troy Franklin
5. Adonai Mitchell
6. Brian Thomas Jr.
7. Keon Coleman
Thats it.
🚨👨💼📽️ WR Rookie Grades pt. I📽️👨💼🚨
I have been putting out rankings based on film and thought that I should just go ahead and review my grading process from last year.
🔹Grades are a combination of Film and Analytics
🔹Draft Cap is assumed
Concerns on the *interesting* 2024 WR class:
1. This class has a lack of route runners, It's MHJ, Emeka, and maybe Nabers?
2. Xavier Worthy still dropping balls, so I guess his hand is still broken or whatever late narrative they threw out LATE last season. Still think he's a

Before you ask why I'm low on Blake Corum I believe most of his success comes from his dominant offensive line play. I believe he's a VERY good college running back but lacks a high-end trait to be a day 2 NFL trait.
Excited to see how wrong I am. I love the off-season
Ball security is job security
Top fumble rates over a collegiate career for the 2024 NFL Draft:
Jawhar Jordan: 1.32%
Jaylen Wright: 1.36%
Braelon Allen: 1.51%
Will Shipley: 1.52%
Rasheen Ali: 2.14%
Marshawn Lloyd: 2.77%
Lloyd is fumbling the ball every 36 attempts

Y’all need to stop using the excuse that JJ McCarthy didn’t have WRs. Roman Wilson is a better WR than anything Drake Maye or Caleb Williams was throwing to.
RB Devin Neal, Kansas
Here’s my hot take, He’s RB3 in the class with a shot at being RB1 when we look back 3 years from now
🔹Elusive
🔹Power
🔹Patience
🔹Can work downfield as a receiver
This year’s underrated WR prospect?
Jalen McMillan
A injury marred season that looks unimpressive from a box score perspective but the footwork and explosiveness out of his breaks paints the picture of a possession specialist at the next level.
Every RB drafted between rounds 1-3 while weighing sub 200 at the combine since 2012, DC included:
2022:
James Cook - 2nd
2015-2021:
None
2014:
Dri Archer - 3rd
2013:
None
2012:
LaMichael James - 2nd
Isaiah Pead - 2nd
This is a Devon Achane tweet.
Why I don't care about the combine, a thread, more like a rant.
1. There's no football or pads involved. I care far more about in-game functional mobility and speed, or how a player performs while in pads compared to wearing a tracksuit. Pads + helmet weigh an average of 9lbs,
🔹Marvin, Nabers, Rome are locked day 1, they are over talked about at this point
🔹Worthy has speed that no one else has in this class. He wasn’t asked to work the middle of the field because of other pieces that Texas had but he has underrated short area manipulation ability
