Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks
Pat Fitzmaurice breaks down the dynasty rookie mock draft picks.
1.09 – TreVeyon Henderson (RB – Ohio State)
TreVeyon Henderson probably isn’t cut out to be an NFL workhorse. He never had more than 183 carries in any of his three seasons at OSU. He split work with Quinshon Judkins as a senior and didn’t have more than 12 carries in any game last fall. But let’s face it: There aren’t many true workhorses in the NFL, anyway. Henderson is a sensational playmaker capable of making hay on 12-15 touches a game à la James Cook. Henderson has big-time speed, sports car acceleration and quick feet. He changes direction with minimal loss of speed, and his cutbacks are jaw-dropping. He’s useful in the passing game (11.1 yards per catch over his college career) and deadly on screens.
2.09 – RJ Harvey (RB – UCF)
R.J. Harvey is small (5-9, 208) and overaged (24). But holy-moly, what a fun player to watch. Harvey has outstanding quickness and lateral agility. His jump-cuts are something to behold. Harvey also has great vision, quickly discerning where holes are and decisively dashing through them. He’s also a capable pass catcher and a high academic achiever. The production at UCF the last two years was absurd: 42 touchdowns, just under 3,000 rushing yards, and more than 500 receiving yards. The ageists and sizeists aren’t going to like Harvey, but open-minded dynasty managers might fall in love with him.
3.09 – 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.
