Throughout last season I did a Projected Futures piece to help owners better understand the outlook for future classes. For dynasty owners, it is a tool to gauge who they would be trading away or who they would be trading for when dealing future rookie picks. For Devy owners, it is a tool to place […]
Week 1 of college football hit, but it’s still #DraftSzn here. There were some fantastic performances, and then some not so fantastic performances. Ultimately, evaluating a player’s draft stock after one week is not a good idea, but these performances definitely impacted their draft stock. Winners: Will Grier, QB, West Virginia Will Grier started his […]
Experts are shooting off predictions left and right so I thought I would have some fun with it myself. Even though they are labeled “bold” as a headline, many times these predictions are par for the course. So here are my “bold-ish” predictions, some may be off the wall while some not so much. Enjoy!

If you’re curious about last season’s series, here are examples from Week 3 and Week 6 from 2017 […]

In the excitement and uproar of a new college football season, certain players can get caught in an upwind of hype or a downpour of criticism that pushes their perspective outlooks into an unearned realm of skewed expectations. This week I’d like to address a player and team that has received a lot of criticism […]

After watching nearly 200 prospects (I know, I need a life, don’t have to tell me twice) in preparation for this upcoming season, I’m finally comfortable enough to set up preliminary rankings of players per position for this upcoming draft. This series will be split up into two parts: Offense and Defense. This is just an initial […]

The NFL is one of the most popular sports in the country and undoubtedly has one of the most dedicated fan bases. Team fanatics kick their fandom into high gear during the offseason when teams are changing their rosters up to make a run at the Super Bowl. This culminates with the NFL Draft in […]
Values shift throughout the offseason as new information becomes available, players transfer, some have terrific springs, coaches speak on their stars, and depth charts change. We ran Devy mocks throughout the offseason, and we finished it off with the 2018 kickoff Devy mock. Thank you to those who participated in our final mock of the […]
With the 2018 college football season fast approaching, we wanted to take a minute to publish a few predictions. Last week, we released our 2018 Devy Watch Preseason All-Americans, and today, we’ll take a stab at predicting who will hoist the 2018 Heisman Trophy in December. Brad – Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin In 2017, Taylor ran […]
I’ve put quite a bit of time into studying the 2019’s QB class, which is quite deep. It’s a bit of a stretch to assume all of these QBs will declare for this draft, but all of them are draft-eligible. Each player will have a little blurb about them, but no videos and pro comps […]
I’ve put together a list of possible dynasty tight end additions that will help teams that are building for the 2019 season and beyond. This list isn’t meant to be exhaustive nor in order of preference, instead, highlight a mix of players with various price tags and range of outcomes. This is part four of […]
Understanding the impact of coaching changes in college football is one of the most integral pieces of the puzzle to becoming a winning player. It is relevant in the NFL as well, but nowhere near the degree that it is in the college game. For example, in the 2017 season, the New England Patriots threw […]
