Dynasty Rookie Draft Pick Review

1.09 – Jayden Daniels (QB – WAS)

The Washington Commanders selected this dynamic run-pass threat with the No. 2 pick in the draft and are hoping they’ve found a long-term answer at quarterback. Daniels won the Heisman Trophy last year, throwing for 3,812 yards and 40 touchdowns at LSU, with only four interceptions. He also ran for 1,134 yards and 10 touchdowns. Daniels completed 72.2% of his throws in his final college season and averaged an outrageous 11.7 yards per pass attempt. Daniels probably won’t be able to replicate that sort of passing success in his first exposure to NFL defenses, but Daniels’ rushing ability should make him immediately playable in fantasy leagues.

2.09 – 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.

3.09 – Jalen McMillan (WR – TB)

Jalen McMillan’s trajectory from his breakout season at Washington to his selection by the Buccaneers in the third round underscores his potential as a promising NFL receiver. Despite facing challenges like injuries and reduced opportunities in his final collegiate year, McMillan’s strong route-running skills and experience in the slot position position him well for success at the professional level. He led the Washington Huskies in targets and catches in 2022 despite playing with future 1st and 2nd round picks.

With a clear path to the WR3 role in Tampa Bay’s offense and the possibility of further advancement to WR2 in the coming seasons, McMillan’s combination of talent and opportunity could make him a valuable asset.
