Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks
1.12 – Kaleb Johnson (RB – Iowa)
Kaleb Johnson was a committee back his first two years at Iowa, then broke out with 240-1,537-21 rushing last fall. He’s a powerful downhill runner who’s hard to bring down if you hit him high. It’s easy to envision him being an effective goal-line back in the NFL. A good fit for a zone scheme, Johnson is a patient runner who reads his blocks well. Johnson doesn’t have great long speed, doesn’t change speeds often or make sharp cuts. But if Johnson lands in a favorable spot, he could make a big impact right away.

2.12 – Jaylin Noel (WR – Iowa State)
Jaylin Noel isn’t big (5-11, 200) and doesn’t have great pure speed, but he’s an advanced route runner with good hands and the ability to do damage after the catch. Stopwatch speed can be overrated. Noel was a very good return man for the Cyclones, who were eager to get the ball in his hands as often as possible.

3.12 – DJ Giddens (RB – Kansas State)
D.J. Giddens isn’t lightning-fast, but he’s such a smart runner. Giddens has good vision and patience. He’s a smooth mover who changes direction without gearing down. Giddens sets up linebackers with feints and dekes, then cuts sharply in the opposite direction once those LBs commit. Giddens also has good contact balance, which – let’s face it – you need to have if you’re an NFL running back with ordinary speed.
