His receiving ability is very impressive. He isn't just a body catcher like you see with many RBs, he can catch outside of his frame consistently and even extend to high point throws. I can easily see him racking up 50 catches a season in the right offense.

I need to watch more tape, Williams tape legitimately pops to me in a huge way. If a team gives him day 2 capital (more importantly round 2) I feel good with him if I need a rb.
Hubbard may well look great at the combine but I don't think teams are going to watch his tape and fall for it. He's a one dimensional back in the mould of Tevin Coleman and he'll get picked day 3. The only way I will have interest in him is late in the 2nd round of rookie drafts or later and if he goes to the right kind of team to utilise him like the 49ers.
Mike11 wrote: Wed Dec 23, 2020 11:40 amI’m in an interesting spot. I have 1.04, I know Lawrence is going 1.01 but Fields will not go 2 or 3. I have Dak and Burrow so I’m not interested in Fields there, it’s a 10 team 2 QB league but I also have 13 and 17.

I’d much rather get a rb at 4 than take chase but it’s likely Harris and Etienne leave. That means I might need to determine if Williams is worth taking over chase. I could then go to a tier 2/3 wr at 13 or a tier 2 QB if one falls. I think like most leagues you just can’t get an rb if you don’t have a top 5 pick.
I think being at 1.04 with Fields on the board gives you some options. You can try to move the pick for a running back to a QB needy team and/or an Buckeyes homer, try to slide down a few slots if you think 1.05 take Chase or take Fields and move Burrow if you think he lands you a better RB than Fields will. Grabbing Williams at 1.04 is giving a gift to the guy drafting at 1.05, leaving value on the table. I have to think you could get a higher profile running back for the pick.

I said it before but if Javonte goes in the 2nd (same round as Najee and Etienne likely) to a decent enough landing spot I don't think I can keep him out of T1

Better athlete, better profile in my opinion he’s going to be good. We never know for sure but he’s in a different stratosphere as a prospect.

Can't argue with you here. I like Javonte a fair amount. I'm just wary of players we need some sort of argument/narrative (whether that be draft capital/landing spot) for moving up into Tier 1 vs. players we've had as studs without any of that narrative worked in.

He somehow keeps growing on me (and I already loved him). The ball placement and arm talent is ridiculous

I really don't care that much about him playing at a small school either--people ignore that small schools not only play worse competition but have worse talent. It evens out for me

If he lands in a place like Carolina I'm gonna scoop him up everywhere

I take more stock into draft capital than pre-draft ranking. A player who falls in the actual draft should see their FF ranking drop as well. Players who go higher than expected should rise.

Maybe, maybe not. Of course a dramatic fall in the draft for a highly touted prospect is worrisome, but we've seen fantasy studs either fall in the NFL draft or land in undesirable landing spots that led them to (wrongly) fall in rookie drafts. DK and AJB are recent prime examples. We've also seen the opposite, where players like N'Keal Harry and Soni Michel (plenty of 1st/2nd round WRs to add here as well) were drafted highly in the NFL draft and didn't pan out. These aren't the necessarily the best examples (in terms of the tier discussion) to compare with Javonte and how his draft stock pre/post combine and NFL draft will change, but demonstrate how the NFL scouts and GMs aren't necessarily getting these things right either.

I'm not arguing that draft capital doesn't matter, because for the most part it clearly does, but that I'd rather buy into a player we have to make arguments against being in the top tier than a player we have to make arguments for being in the top tier.

Since we are talking about it, when is DLF changing it's rookie rankings to 2021? After the Super Bowl?

I get having Chase love but I am a little confused. I get it when Burrows broke records Chase absolutely feasted then again that is 1 season with statistically the greatest QB season in the history of college. Let me remind everyone about those guys last year by the names Henry Ruggs and Jerry Jeudy. Incredible WR talent, most NFL ready tons of hype and Expert accolades? We all remember that right? We also should remember that those 2 weren't even the best WRs on their college team? Devonta Smith was and is.

Some said his success was because of Ruggs and Jeudy, well this year he did it again without them. People gush over Waddle, Smiths better and he has proven it repeatedly now. I am not hating on Chase but that is 1 season with a record breaking QB. I honestly cannot imagine Smith not being the clear cut WR1 in the draft. Smith has proven he produces with any QB and anyone else on the field.

I could be wrong but the perceived gap between Smith and Chase is more myth than reality. The least we can do is put him in the same tier. He earned it through multiple seasons and situations. That is something Chase didn't.

A lot of the community didn’t have Ruggs lumped in with Jeudy. I think Smith is going to ball and he is in that tier for me, post people like when analytics and film meet in the middle, for Chase it does but for Smith his BMI will (unfairly imo) push people off him. I think the bigger issue is that there are so many receivers people like in this class they’re more ok waiting to get one then taking one at 3,4,5 if one of the RBs is on the board.

One thing I have noticed about Chase is he’s a somewhat lazy route runner. If you watch him running his routes next to JJeff he isn’t nearly as intentional about it, luckily this can be taught and he’s a cold stone killer at the catch point but Chase isn’t a flawless prospect. I wouldn’t be shocked if Smith is the first receiver drafted in real life and possibly fantasy if that happens and he wins the heisman.
