Justin “The Eraser” Evans – Senior / 6’0″ / 199 – Texas A&M Games Watched: 2016 – Alabama, LSU, UCLA. 2015 – Alabama, Arizona State, Ole Miss, South Carolina Skinny: He is a little small to play in-the-box at the NFL level. He often tackles too high (or above the belt). This allows the ball …

The Alabama defense is always stocked with high-end NFL draft prospects, and 2016 was no exception. Jonathan Allen, Reuben Foster and Tim Williams highlighted the best front-seven in college football. While Minkah Fitzpatrick, Marlon Humphrey and Eddie Jackson (@EJackson_4) headlined a scary defensive backfield. Jackson, the former 4-star from Lauderdale Lakes Florida, is headed for …

Being in a devy league means never being able to stop your evaluation process. Every season, players graduate or leave for the NFL, some players fall out of favor with their coaches, and some coaches leave for new programs.

Here at DFF we think about every single position on the football field and look for ways to glean value out of this exploration. One of the few areas we tend to overlook when it comes fantasy football is the offensive line. I’m sure we know that a good line is invaluable to our running …

Tyus Bowser: 6’3 244 pounds Games watched: Vanderbilt, Memphis, San Diego St. My Thoughts: This is another player I enjoyed watching. Not overly flashy, but a guy who just gets it done. Houston asked him to do a lot of things on defense, playing the run, to rushing the passer and playing in coverage. That shows the coaching …

Games watched Syracuse, North Carolina, Virginia Tech My Thoughts Injuries are the first thing that stands out when it comes to Price. He was absolutely hammered in his early college career by a string of injuries. In 2012, starting off as an ILB, he suffered a pectoral injury. The next year, 2013, back injury. In 2014, a …

DeKaylin (also known as D.K.) Metcalf is a wide receiver prospect who just finished an injury-plagued freshman year at Ole Miss (@dkmetcalf14), @OleMissFB). In Metcalf’s collegiate debut, the 6’4”, 210-pounder caught not one but two touchdowns in the season-opening loss to Florida State, showcasing his ability to be an immediate redzone threat. However, he was then …

Every once in a while, a player comes into my vision that I can immediately see is meant to play the game of full contact American football. Connor Harris (@connorharris16) is one of these almost rare occurrences. This young man not only brings his lunch pail every day to football activities, he brings a lunch …

I had the pleasure of interviewing Marquell Beckwith recently. When watching Beckwith, I noticed his effort and willingness to do anything in his power to help his team win. He has very good hands out of the backfield and really thrives in his pass- protection. I’m really looking forward to seeing Beckwith earn a shot …

The Air Force Academy doesn’t usually produce NFL-sized wide receivers that are considered redzone threats. Well, Jalen Robinette made a name for himself at the Academy, and now will be looking to make a name for himself in the NFL. There’s no doubt that his skill set and size will be intriguing …

Games reviewed: Buffalo, Toledo, Kent The player: One thing that I have to see from an edge rusher is quickness. This kid is quick! He won’t get stuck or shoved away from a play. Getting off a block is not an issue. This keeps him in the attack of the ball and not flat on his …

Kickers. Most people could go without them (unless your name is Taco McArthur), but maybe they are more valuable to your fantasy football team than you think. Before I continue, I would ask you to go through your last Fantasy Football season and check all of your close games – win or lose. If you …

The combine has just finished and we witnessed a ton of great test numbers for the 2017 wide receiver (WR) class. KD Cannon had himself a very nice showing both in testing and the route running/gauntlet portion of the combine: Height: 5’11” Weight: 182 Arm: 30 ¾” Hand: 8 ⅞” 40: 4.41 Vert: 37” Broad: …

DeShone Kizer 6’4” 233 lbs QB, Notre Dame 21 years old on draft day Games watched: Ohio State (2015), Texas, Miami, and Syracuse (2016) Since taking over the starting job in 2015, Deshone Kizer has been a mystifying prospect. I believe that this is due to Kizer’s inconsistency along with the feeling of uncertainty around …

Prior to the start of the football season, 2017 was being talked about as the great quarterback (QB) drought. After 2016 boasted 2- or 3- great signal callers (if you like Paxton Lynch as much as I do), 2017 was looking really weak. Then things took an unexpected turn, prospects grew immensely, and things clearly …

I realize Garrett is viewed as the best player in this draft class, but that does NOT mean he is the best IDP player. If you play in a sack-heavy scoring system, Garrett is a very intriguing prospect. Yet, I believe Barnett is the complete package. I know I should not be enamored by one …

In the stacked safety class of 2017, Malik Hooker is right up there with the best of them (Jamal Adams, Jabrill Peppers, Budda Baker). The former Buckeye was one of many standouts for Ohio State in 2016 as a Redshirt Sophomore, and he is now headed for the NFL. Safeties today must be extremely versatile …

The Florida Gator defense has been an “elite cornerback” factory of late. In the 2016 class, there was Vernon Hargreaves who ended up being selected 11th overall by Tampa Bay. In the 2017 class, the Gators upped the ante by producing not one but two 1st round talents at the cornerback position. Quincy Wilson …
