Dynasty Rookie Draft Pick Review

1.06 – Xavier Worthy (WR – KC)

Texas’ Xavier Worthy has quickly made a name for himself with his standout speed and playmaking prowess. At 6 feet 1 inch and 172 pounds, Worthy distinguished himself early, notching 62 receptions for 981 yards and 12 touchdowns in his freshman year. He capped off his college career with over 1,000 yards and 5 touchdowns in his junior year, securing a 30% career dominator rating-the second highest in his class-and the youngest breakout age at 18. His abilities have drawn comparisons to DeSean Jackson, both from Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid and draft analyst Thor, underscoring his potential impact. Set to join the Chiefs as a 1st-rounder, Worthy is expected to compete for a significant role, particularly with the possibility of an expanded opportunity if teammate Rashee Rice faces a suspension.

2.06 – Blake Corum (RB – LAR)

I have my worries about Corum, but the Rams investing third-round draft capital in him was interesting. Corum’s yards after contact per attempt, breakaway percentage, and elusive ratings fell in each of his final three collegiate seasons (per PFF). That’s not exactly the trend line that you want to have entering the NFL, but the Rams’ third-round investment in the Michigan product is a decent vote of confidence that Corum can possibly get back to his 2021 form (24th in yards after contact per attempt per PFF). I doubt Corum is taking passing down snaps away from Kyren Williams, but he could help spell him on early downs and salt away the clock late in games. Corum is a high-end handcuff only right now.

3.06 – Javon Baker (WR – NE)

Javon Baker’s journey saw a significant shift after transferring from Alabama to UCF, where he stood out during his final two seasons with dominator ratings of 23% and 31%. At 6-foot-1 and 202 pounds, Baker distinguished himself as a big-play threat, leading to the second-highest average of yards per reception nationally (21.9) in 2023 and ranking fifth in yards per route run among his draft class. Often compared to DeVonta Smith for his route-running and body control, Baker adds more size and yards-after-catch ability. Drafted by the Patriots in the fourth round, he enters a team with a relatively weak receiver depth chart, positioning him as a potential standout. Despite being selected after Ja’Lynn Polk, Baker’s ability to consistently make plays downfield, evidenced by his top performance in deep-target metrics, suggests a higher ceiling and the potential to become a leading figure in New England’s passing attack.

4.06 – Malik Washington (WR – MIA)

Unfortunately, the NFL didn’t seem as high on Washington’s skill set as I have been. He fell all the way to the sixth round before the Dolphins called his name. Washington is buried on the Miami receiving depth chart, and he’ll be fighting just to make the roster for Week 1 behind Tyreek Hill, Odell Bekcham Jr., Jaylen Waddle, Braxton Berrios, River Cracraft, Braylon Sanders, and more. Washington’s talent is real, and he’s still worth stashing on your taxi squad this year. You can snag him in the final round of your rookie draft, but he may fall to waivers in plenty of leagues.

5.06 – Jamari Thrash (WR – CLE)

Thrash is buried on the Browns depth chart as the likely backup slot option and WR5/6. Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore are free agents after this season, so Thrash may walk into 2025 as the team’s starting slot receiver or WR3. While I don’t foresee a high ceiling for Thrash, if he gets into the Browns’ starting lineup, he should, at the very least, offer some flex apparel. Draft him in the late fourth round of your rookie drafts and stash him in on the taxi squad.
