Dynasty Rookie Draft Prospects

Brian Thomas Jr. (WR – LSU)

A legitimate deep threat with a huge frame and impressive flexibility and elusiveness, he could establish himself as a dynamic starting split end at the pro level. Will need to continue adding functional strength and diversify his route tree, but the favorable developmental trajectory he’s shown and the fact that he already possesses translatable skills should earn him a spot in the second round or so.

Ja’Lynn Polk (WR – Washington)

A big, well-built receiver who has shown his versatility in terms of where he aligns and what types of routes he runs. Overall, his bread and butter is his ability to use his size, length, and strength to attack throws and come down with tough catches in traffic. There may be some faster, quicker guys in the class, and some better technicians, but he’s also shown the ability to generate separation. Even though this is a relatively deep wide receiver class, appears likely to come off the board some time on the second day following a breakout 2023 campaign.

Troy Franklin (WR – Oregon)

A tall, lanky receiver with very good flexibility and solid speed, he makes good adjustments to the ball and provides a relatively big target for his quarterback. However, his thin frame, lack of ideal functional strength, and relatively basic route-running may make it difficult for him to make as immediate an impact as some of the other receiver prospects in the class. Early on in his career, will probably be used as a deep threat and goal-line option as he builds strength and refines his game. Production and tools should get him into the second day.

Devontez Walker (WR – North Carolina)

A big, long-striding deep threat with very good speed and the ability to break and elude tackles in space. He’ll probably have to continue polishing his route-running skills and cut down on his drops, but his dynamic athleticism fits well in the modern game, so it wouldn’t come as a surprise if he went somewhere on the second day as a big-play threat for an aggressive team that likes to attack downfield.
