Dynasty Rookie Draft Prospects
Jawhar Jordan (RB – Louisville)
Solid initial burst. Jordan gets up to top speed in a hurry. Get Jordan behind a solid offensive line with a stretch zone scheme, and he could make some noise. Easy speed to consistently gain the edge. No hesitancy in getting downhill. Decisive linear runner. A future 49er or Dolphin. Thin lower half. Not a pile mover. Upright rusher that lives and dies with his quickness and speed. Jordan’s speed is how he wins, but it’s not an elite trump card that will allow him to outrun corners at the next level.
Ray Davis (RB – Kentucky)
Downhill but upright runner. He is at his best when he gets a head of steam. Can get tripped up by shoestring tackles. His running style is more shifty than powerful. Get him in a gap/power run game. He has the necessary agility to operate with inside zone as well. Davis will follow his blocks patiently, but he lacks the necessary burst to gain the edge in the stretch zone. Davis did flash an improved burst in 2023 compared to his 2019 film. This difference is even palatable as his breakaway percentage by 10.7% from 2022 to 2023. Davis is a proven volume rusher with at least 22 carries in 25% of his collegiate games. He likely slots in as an early down committee option in the NFL. He’s nothing more than a check-down option in the passing game. Davis will leak out of the backfield and secure the occasional dump-off. His pass pro is suspect. Davis usually just attempts to chip at oncoming rushers. Unless his technique improves, he won’t be a trusted passing-down option.
Braelon Allen (RB – Wisconsin)
Allen likely slots in as the early down thunder component to a committee. Allen is a volume-compiling grinding thumper back. Allen has a strong leg drive and can lower his shoulder and maul a defender. Once he gets a head of steam, defenders have to wrap him well, or they slide off him like water. He’ll be at his best in the NFL in a gap/power run game scheme. The aim should be to get Allen moving downhill immediately. Once Allen is into the second level of a defense, his combination of power and nimble feet really plays up. He has impressive footwork and lateral agility for his size to compensate for an average burst. Allen can churn out chunk plays with his lateral agility and power, but you won’t see many home runs in the NFL as his long speed isn’t there. Allen has decent bend, but don’t expect him to change directions once he’s moving downhill wildly. Once this train gets rolling, he can bend onto a side track, but you won’t see acrobatic start/stop theatrics. Allen is a functional pass catcher. He was utilized on check-downs and pop passes in college, so I don’t expect him to develop into a priority pass game weapon in the NFL.
