Dynasty Rookie Draft Pick Review
1.04 – Malik Nabers (WR – NYG)
Malik Nabers, emerging from a robust 3-year stint at LSU, led all college wide receivers with 86 receptions, 1,546 yards, and 14 touchdowns during his junior year, boasting a 34% dominator rating. Over his collegiate career, he totaled 186 receptions for 2,983 yards and 21 touchdowns, marked by a standout 28% career college dominator rating-third among 2024 draft class WRs. Notably, Nabers broke out as a freshman at 18, indicating significant potential for early professional success. Now with the New York Giants, he is poised to become the team’s top receiver from the outset. His ability to generate yards after the catch (YAC) reassures concerns about the team’s quarterback situation, enhancing his fantasy value.

2.04 – Michael Penix Jr. (QB – ATL)
Michael Penix got the draft capital that we crave for quarterbacks, but this could not be any more of a muddled situation. If you are reading this while wondering, “What in the actual hell is Atlanta doing?” don’t worry. You’re not alone. The ink has barely dried on Kirk Cousins’ four-year deal with the Falcons. The earliest we could see Atlanta move on from Cousins would be in 2027. Yes, if you’re doing the math correctly, that is three years from now. Penix looks like he is on the Jordan Love track, which is frightening. Waiting possibly three years with a quarterback on your dynasty roster to find out “if” he’s any good is frightening. Penix will likely get drafted in many Superflex rookie drafts in the late second or early third round, but I’m currently avoiding him at that ADP. Suppose Penix really doesn’t see the field for possibly three seasons. In that case, there will be plenty of opportunities for Dynasty GMs to acquire his services for their rosters for possibly cheaper (especially if his ADP settles into the second round).

3.04 – Javon Baker (WR – NE)
Baker is one of “MY GUYS” in this draft class. I’ll be drafting him as much as possible, as he could easily be the WR1 for the New England Patriots by the end of the season. While I would have loved for him to get drafted on Day 2 of the NFL Draft, it was always a distinct possibility that he fell to early Day 3. The small school production and the good but not amazing athletic testing helped to push his draft stock lower than it should have been. With Kendrick Bourne starting on the outside this year and Ja’Lynn Polk likely taking over slot duties, Baker should be able to push for starting reps against Juju Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton. Baker should be gone by the end of the second round of every rookie draft. If he’s not, and we are in a league together, expect a knock at your door.

4.04 – Brenden Rice (WR – LAC)
Brenden Rice brings a compelling combination of size, athleticism, and football pedigree to the wide receiver position, standing out with his 6’3″ frame and impressive physical presence. While his collegiate journey included a breakout season at Colorado and a productive senior year at USC, his final season dominator rating fell slightly below expectations. Nevertheless, Rice’s ability to make an impact in the red zone and his proficiency in catching touchdowns highlight his potential as a scoring threat at the next level. His comparison to Josh Palmer underscores the importance of his quarterback and offensive situation in maximizing his impact on the field. Joining the Chargers in the seventh round presents Rice with an opportunity to continue his development and carve out a role in their offense.
