Dynasty Rookie Draft Prospects

Caleb Williams (QB – USC)

A veritable football magician, he’s mesmerized fans since his time at Oklahoma, showing the type of creative playmaking skills that are impossible to teach. With an excellent combination of pocket movement, elusiveness, patience, decision-making, touch, and accuracy, should be the favorite to end up as the first overall pick in this year’s class. Natural feel for the game is so good that it’d be shocking if he didn’t end up being a high-end franchise quarterback.

Drake Maye (QB – North Carolina)

Checks pretty much all of the boxes teams look for in a quarterback prospect, with the size, composure, aggressiveness, arm strength, and athleticism to develop into a solid starting quarterback. There are times when he’ll leave yards on the field because of ball placement issues (even on throws which are ultimately caught), so it’d be nice to see him be more consistent with his mechanics to improve his accuracy. Some elements of his game (dealing with pressure, scrambling) are also a bit more aggressive than you’d like. Nonetheless, he looks advanced for a redshirt sophomore, and appears likely to come off the board high in the first round.

Jayden Daniels (QB – LSU)

A prospect who really put it all together this year, showing significant improvement and boosting his draft stock considerably; at this point, it would be a surprise if he wasn’t the third quarterback off the board. Now looks like a lock to come off the board in the first round because of his impressive combination of composure, decision-making, throwing mechanics, timing and touch on the deep ball, and elite athleticism. Biggest adjustments at the pro level will be going through more progressions and using his eyes to manipulate defensive backs.
