Way Way Too Early 2022 Draft Thread

[Sriracha]

What do you guys think of Zonovan Knight? Running style reminds me a little of Le'Veon Bell in terms of patience.

Explosive player, good build. Not sure he declares next year, but he might because the 2023 class is stronger. It says he's a sophomore, but he played in 2019 and 2020, I am not understanding that one.....

If you play less than 4(?) games you can use that year as a redshirt.

It's the same reason that Trey Lance technically has 3 years of stats despite only being a redshirt Sophomore

I like Pierre Strong, Jaleel McLaughlin, and Isaih Pacheco as sleepers.

No for eligibility sake I think the NCAA is just declaring last year as a throw away. If you were a sophomore last year you are still one this year even if you played a full season. I’ve heard/seen like 6 year college players now from the rule.

My biggest sleeper is Camerun Jones for App State. His burst hitting the hole is the best in the class imo. He hasn’t shown pass catching ability, but he reminds me a lot of the Latavius Murray’s of the world. Oh yeah he also averages like 7 yards per carry lol. Breaks off huge runs with his speed/power at 6’0” +. The eye-test tells me he’s a good athlete, but I’ve been deceived before.

Thanks! So he is eligible to play in the NFL still, because it has to do with a certain amount of years removed from HS, does it not?

What's the story with Breece Hall this year?

I’m getting Chiba Hubbard flashbacks

Owned both as devys

Nah, not at Hubbard level. I’d be surprised if he wasn’t top 3 at end of year at RB (assuming no injury). He’s better than Montgomery, and Monty was a 2nd round pick.

ISU’s offense needs to get on track… and once they do Hall will take off.

Not a huge thing but fwiw Monty was a 3rd rounder, sanders was the rd 2 rb that year

17/86/2 so far. Not a great YPC, but he's got in the end zone twice. 14 minutes left in the 3rd, as I type this.

I'm starting to get lite Zach Wilson vibes from Matt Corral

Want to see how he handles the SEC slate but he might be my guy from the QB slate

Like Willis but he is rather landing spot development

Howell can be a good QB in real life but he's not necessarily the type of guy I'm shooting for in fantasy

Yeah NFL eligibility just has to do with 3 years removed from high school. Zonovan has looked solid, but his measurables when he tested as a high school athlete are pretty bad lol

Yeah no doubt Corral looks amazing but like you say he has to run the SEC gauntlet in the coming weeks. That hurry up offense and lesser competition is allowing him to cook but let’s see if he can do it against the big boys. I was totally off him coming into the year because of those crazy interception games last year but he’s been clean this season.

I personally still like Howell, I get why he gets compared to Baker but Howell has been on point since he hit the field as a freshman. Now he’s running for 70-100 yards a game. IDK I’m buying if people are selling.

Willis is obviously the home run swing but I have my doubts coming out of Librerty. We shall see.

Yeah, curious of his speed, because he did have a 100 yard KR TD at some point.

Breece with 22/100/2, but still not the gawdy numbers I was expecting after last year. 4.0 YPC through 3 games, too. Haven't seen the games, wondering how bad the OL is.

nothing to add, but love this about this site. So many people with knowledge of players in mainstream media and beyond.
