Mostert faces massive challenge as Miami's RB1b
FollowThe fourth round selection of RB Jaylen Wright makes a fast Dolphins offense even faster.
Dynasty Analysis
An offense built for speed adds another burner at RB, which could spell doom for 32 year-old Mostert. Despite leading the team in rushes, rushing yards, and rushing TDs, Mostert figures to take a back seat to second year paragon De'Von Achane, but the addition of Wright could push Mostert even further down the depth chart. The younger, fresher set of legs would cut into Mostert's workload at the absolute minimum, driving him down even further from his RB44 DLF ranking.
Dylan Laube drafted by the Raiders
FollowThe Raiders drafted New Hampshire running back Dylan Laube in the sixth round of the NFL Draft.
Dynasty Analysis
A pre-draft favorite for a lot of dynasty managers, Laube fell all the way down to round six before being taken by the Raiders. In the end, it wasn't all bad as Laube has a decent path to playing time should he find his way on the roster. He'll be a late round dart throw in rookie drafts but he's also a serious sleeper as a solid pass-catching back who could form a bit of a committee with Zamir White.
Jase McClellan drafted by Atlanta
FollowThe Atlanta Falcons drafted Alabama running back Jase McClellan in the sixth round of the NFL Draft.
Dynasty Analysis
In the end, most scouts likely looked at McClellan and felt he was more of a product of dominance around him than a truly elite-level talent. He'll look to carve out a role behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier but McClellan looks like a final round pick at best in most rookie drafts.
Baltimore clears the path for Flowers
FollowAdding speed on the perimeter with the addition of WR Tez Walker should soften coverage for Flowers.
Dynasty Analysis
On paper, Rashod Bateman is the winner of the Baltimore Ravens' draft as they still haven't searched for his replacement. But the bigger development is the field-stretching abilities of fourth round pick Tez Walker, which would give everyone in the offense some additional breathing room. Top wide receiver Zay Flowers gets the largest increase in high quality targets, which could elevate him from his WR21 DLF ranking into the high end WR2 range... if all goes to plan.
Jawhar Jordan drafted by Houston
FollowThe Houston Texans drafted Louisville running back Jawhar Jordan in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Dynasty Analysis
Jordan was one of the bigger fallers in the NFL Draft as he ended up being the 18th running back being taken off the board, all the way down into the sixth round. He'll work for a spot on the Houston roster behind Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce but this was tough weekend for Jordan, who is now not much more than a late round flier in rookie drafts.
Malik Washington drafted by Miami
FollowThe Miami Dolphins drafted Virginia wide receiver Malik Washington in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Dynasty Analysis
Washington fell all the way down into round six before being scooped up by the Miami Dolphins. It was a disappointing development for a player who looked like he could be on the rise. Washington is going to need to make some quick waves in order to make the final roster and looks like a late round dart throw in rookie drafts this off-season.
Jordan Travis drafted by the Jets
FollowThe New York Jets drafted Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis in the fifth round of the NFL Draft.
Dynasty Analysis
Travis could be the quarterback of the future if the cards fall right. A flat-out dominant performer at Florida State, his year was cut short by a devastating leg injury. There's a lot of developing for him to do but he could sit behind Aaron Rodgers for a couple of seasons and truly learn the position while getting himself fully healthy. Travis is a sleeper in superflex leagues for sure as Travis does have some real talent.
Jamari Thrash drafted by Cleveland
FollowThe Cleveland Browns drafted wide receiver Jamari Thrash in the fifth round of the NFL Draft.
Dynasty Analysis
The former small school prospect made good on his move to Louisville last season and may have slid under the radar a bit in the NFL Draft. The Browns still have an unsettled depth chart at receiver behind Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore and Thrash could be a late bloomer. While managers would need to be patient with him, he could make for a solid dynasty sleeper.
Spencer Rattler drafted by New Orleans
FollowThe New Orleans Saints drafted South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft,
Dynasty Analysis
The Saints decided to take the plunge on Rattler, who tumbled mightily in the NFL Draft. There are few questions about his ability but many about his maturity and leadership. Still, the Saints aren't gambling much here with Rattler and could have themselves a steal if he can mature and learn behind Derek Carr. While he's guaranteed nothing moving forward, Rattler is an interesting dart throw late in rookie drafts.
Audric Estime drafted by Denver
FollowThe Denver Broncos drafted Notre Dame running back Audric Estime in round five of the NFL Draft.
Dynasty Analysis
Well, this is a fun landing spot. Estime's draft stock plummeted after he posted Dad-like athleticism numbers at the NFL Draft Combine. The Broncos aren't buying it as Estime has been a road-grader of a runner throughout his very productive career. With Javonte Williams failing to really impress throughout his young career, Estime is going to be a popular sleeper in rookie drafts. While far from a three-down option, he could provide some value and landed in a solid spot in Denver.
