Who are the studs coming in 2019

[jenkins.math]

2020 Right now:

RB:
Travis Etienne
D'Andre Swift
Jonathan Taylor
A.J. Dillon
Najee Harris
Cam Akers
J.K. Dobbins

WR:
Jerry Jeudy
Tee Higgins
Laviska Shenault

Still a lot can change, but it's loading up fast.

You could argue that everyone on that list would be in the conversation for 1.01 in 2019 too.

Even with a good game yesterday, Cam Akers has been kind of disappointing. I don't think he would be 1.01 this year, nor would AJ Dillon. Jonathon Taylor does not look like the same type of talent that Melvin was as Wisky either. Harris is another Alabama back that will probably just disappoint. I think there are some good players (depth) to this class, but it doesn't look as great as everyone else seems to think at the RB position to me.

I hear what you're saying, but in comparison to the 2019 class, 2020 seems to have a much better group of players. A lot can can change obviously, and who knows, 2019 may surprise everyone. But it still looks to me that 2019 is going to be rough for fantasy. Mel Kiper just released his big board for 2019 and only had 3 offensive skill players in his top 25.

Yeah, the WR's should be better this year, there are a ton of guys projected on day 2, I believe. RB next year is much deeper. Of course if DK Metcalf stays in school it will make next year even deeper.

Yeah people have really focused on how the 2019 prospects have disappointed this year while hyping the 2020 class, but are ignoring that the 2020 prospects have been underperforming as well.

Eh, so much has to do with landing spot and that next tier of players. I don't really see why non superflex players focus on QB rankings in these drafts. Those are late 2nd or 3rd round fantasy picks anyway. It's really all about the the RB/WR/TE's in 1QB leagues and even in last year's "great" draft class there were only 2 players from those positions that cracked the top 25 of Kiper's big board.

[Dynos]

instead of focusing on 2020 i will focus on this year. the year of goff and wentz was supposed to be really bad at qb compared to winston/mariota.

so far 2019 prospects

on this website they put bryan edwards really high compare to other website.

Not sure about nkeal. I've never been a big fan of this kind of WR.

AJ brown seems interesting.

Definitely. Just on paper though, I like the base we may have to work with next year. Just seems like much more talent.

Harry should still go in the Top-5 though. I don't see a whole lot of competition for him.

I have seen Dan Jones from Duke get into a lot of 1st rd mocks for next year. I watched the Duke Clemson game closely last night, and he definitely has some tools. Clemson just dominated up front, especially in the second half, and Duke has very little as far as play makers. I dont think he should go in the 1st but could see him as an interesting prospect. Minshew looks like the real deal, even an Air Raid offense with Leach. Also, Pooka William's, 1.01 2021 since we are projecting so far out...

Kelvin Harmon will potentially be one of those guys who elevate themselves into the wr1 discussion as someone does every year (e.g., D.J. Moore in 2018). Hes quietly putting up solid numbers and has good size and body control.

He's been on my radar for a few years now, and looks really good. Collin Johnson out of Texas is also putting up numbers and no one is really talking about him.

I'm not gonna lie, the fact that he's 6-6 makes me want to write him off for the most part. It's an arbitrary cutoff, but just like with QBs - how many can you think of in history who were 6'6" and truly relevant players?

I don't know about QBs or WRs but Gronk & Witten are both 6'6. I guess different positions are better suited to different size requirements?

There was one apparently successful WR at 6'8 Harold Carmichael (4x pro bowl)

Also I don't mean to pigeonhole or stereotype but dont really tall athletes tend to gravitate towards basketball?

Just dropped the game winning TD though.

I know no official has any idea of what a "catch" is anymore. But AJ Brown and Ole Miss got screwed, 100% a catch.

Actually the quote you're quoting from me there was the other game winning TD that he dropped. The one I posted about there was the one at the end of regulation that would have won the game. You're referencing the one in OT which I agree was a dubious call, but still poor on his part to not just hold onto it in the first place.

[Portsmouth Spartans]

I have the 1.01 next year... seems like consensus is either Harry or Brown from this thread. Who is behind those guys? Would it be worth dropping down a few spots to pickup a mid 2020 1st or is the talent gap that wide between 1 and 3/4 this year?

[Friction]

I would absolutely drop down a few spots to pick up a 2020 first. You will see a small gap between 1.01 and 3/4 next year, in comparison to other years. I would love to get a trade opp like thay this offseason, but my leagues never do those.

Damien Harris looks like an NFL back. Been watching some of his tape, the guy is built for the NFL IMO.
