Cam Akers-FSU-Worth The Wait?

5-star recruit just committed to FSU out of Mississippi...

5'11" 211 lbs.
8,140 yds rushing, 78 TDs
5,000 yds passing, 71 TDs

So in my one devy league we can draft from any year. Would you consider using a late devy pick (we only do one round so as not to dilute the rookie draft too much) on this guy knowing you will have to wait 3 years? Say a devy pick around 1.10-1.14?

I have four top 5 picks (1.01, 1.03, 1.04, 1.05), but I am thinking of trying to trade one of 1.04/1.05 for either a player and a later devy or a late 1st rookie pick and a later devy to target this guy.

Thoughts? Could this guy be the real deal and is this a shrewd move to potentially get a stud dirt cheap?

Yeah, he's worth targeting and drafting late in whatever depth devy draft you have going on. Just understand that risk is a function of time and that makes him naturally more high risk.

I think he's the real deal Holyfield, but I wouldn't draft him. Too many things can happen in a 3 year period. Injuries, trouble with the law, They recruit another 5 star next year, etc.
