Devy Analysis
Every year at this time, we tie a bow on another college football recruiting cycle the best way we know how – a Devy mock draft with only true freshmen. This year, we expanded the field to two rounds of 14 players. We approached this draft as if it were PPR and 1 QB. Round […]
Introduction: The 2018-19 NFL Awards were just handed out Saturday night. We saw a glitch in the matrix win MVP, some war general garner Comeback Player of the Year, and a life-sized version of the Hulk nab Defensive Player of the Year. Last week I also attended the Senior Bowl for the first time. Now, […]

Introduction: Though the weather may have been somewhat bleak, Senior Bowl week was far from it. In attendance live for the first time, the whole atmosphere was certainly overwhelming, but I tried to make the most of my surroundings. Focusing in on specific drills and particular positions rather than watch every player (which is near […]

As I am starting to wrap up the finishing touches on quite a few of these draft prospects, I’ve started to run each player through my own personal grading scale and rank my top 10 prospects. I will try to get two position groups out per week (one offensive, one defensive) leading up to the […]
After a bustling week in Mobile, here are some thoughts on a talented class of defensive players that were on display at the Senior Bowl. It was a superb week for many front-seven defenders, a group that was definitely the star of the week. As mentioned below, grading defensive backs in a practice setting […]

This is a five-part series in which I will take a glance at who to watch for this offseason as the draft process begins. There is still a lot left to be determined, but this will give you an early glance at who some of the top candidates are at each position. In this fourth […]
Introduction: Duke QB Daniel Jones has a high probability of being a 1st Round selection come draft day. He’s got the size and the so-called intangibles. He’s certainly made it known he thinks he has the leadership ability. Tom Coughlin is likely going to take one look at the Blue Devil, see Jones’ resume with […]
Attempting to predict the wildly unpredictable NFL Draft is not an easy task, but let’s give it a whirl anyway. I threw in a few realistic trades to shake things up because what’s the point in trying to simulate the draft without the aspect of involving trades. Take a look and let me know if […]
Introduction: My first ever Senior Bowl week was an enjoyable one. From scrimmages to 1-on-1’s to even special teams, it was great getting a feel of this years draft class up close and live. Seeing the zip out of Drew Lock’s hands, the burning speed of Terry McLaurin and the quick twitch style of Penny Hart […]
The 2019 WR class is absolutely loaded. There are legitimately around 25 receivers that could be starters someday, but the top of the class certainly is not limited either. In that top crop, Kelvin Harmon and N’Keal Harry are both right up there. Both have first round grades on my board, and they can legitimately […]
Each year, I look forward to heading to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, so I can finally get a live look at some of the prospects I’ve been watching on film over the last few months. The 94th East-West Shrine Game showcased a solid list of prospects that know this was their opportunity to […]
Introduction: The 2019 Reese’s Senior Bowl is right around the corner, and with it, the unofficial start of the “pre-draft” process. For anything and everything Senior Bowl related, I hope to have you covered below. What is It? Now, the simplest way to describe the Senior Bowl is as a “glorified” College Football All-Star game. […]
With the Senior Bowl coming up and many declarations being made, I will be constructing my pre-Senior Bowl Big Board. Rodney Anderson will be omitted for injuries. IDL Quinnen Williams, Alabama Quinnen Williams was the most dominant player in the NCAA this year and it wasn’t close. His pad level, hand usage, first step, and […]
After diving into Senior Bowl’s most talented position group yesterday here on DFF Devy, today I look at a more underwhelming bunch, the linebackers. Last year in Mobile, Darius Leonard, a small-school linebacker from South Carolina State, shined brightly on the big stage on his way to being drafted 36th overall by the Indianapolis Colts. 163 […]
Among all positions in this year’s NFL Draft, the one that is packed with the most talent and depth is undoubtedly the edge rusher group. While there are standout talents such as Nick Bosa, Brian Burns, and Jachai Polite who declared early for the draft and are not eligible for the Senior Bowl, there are […]
With the college football season wrapped up for the year, draft season is now officially upon us. First up on the docket is senior showcase games, starting with the College Gridiron Showcase and Tropical Bowl this week, then moving onto the NFLPA Bowl and East-West Shrine Game next weekend, with the grand finale being the […]

It seems every year during this evaluation process there is always that one prospect that blows up your previously methodically, mapped-out positional rankings. I thought I had my RB rankings almost certainly locked down to a tee. Maybe that wasn’t so true after all, however. On Thursday, I saw on Twitter that a small 5’8” […]
Tyree Jackson is a polarizing quarterback prospect. Listed at 6’7” and 245 pounds, he has a skill set that is reminiscent of Buffalo Bills QB, Josh Allen. Graced with incredible arm strength and very good athleticism, Jackson lacks very little in terms of natural ability. He is an excellent deep ball thrower, but his accuracy […]
