Devy Analysis
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 […]
There are hundreds of stories being told during the planning and anticipation of the 2017 NFL Draft. Today we will be looking at a scouting report for junior running back Marlon Mack, USF Bulls. RB-Marlon Mack, USF 6’ 210 lbs. The former Bulls runner is an intriguing prospect with breakaway speed, but with an unusually […]
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 […]
There are hundreds of stories being told during the planning and anticipation of the 2017 NFL Draft. Today we will be looking at a scouting report for junior wideout Josh Malone, Tennessee Volunteers. WR-Josh Malone, Tennessee 6’3” 200 lbs.

The 2017 NFL Combine allows dynasty fantasy football fans their first glimpse beyond the heavy equipment to determine whether a certain player can translate their college production into relevant fantasy points. Today we will be discussing the defensive backs, a usually ignored fantasy position. While there weren’t any major spoilers revealed, some players impressed (stock […]
The 2017 NFL Combine allows dynasty fantasy football fans their first glimpse beyond the heavy equipment to determine whether a certain player can translate their college production into relevant fantasy points. Today we will be discussing the linebackers and defensive linemen. While there weren’t any major spoilers revealed, some players impressed (stock up) and most […]
Braylyn Cook – a Junior from College Park, Georgia – led his team in interceptions with three on the year. This just scratches the surface of how good of a player this guy can be. Growing up, Cook was a keen Baseball player, but was forced to take a step back due to injuries; this […]
Many mock drafts prior to the 2016 season had Miami Quarterback Brad Kaaya as a top 15 pick. One preseason debate was centered around whether or not Kaaya was the best quarterback in the class. Things have changed, and now Kaaya has been largely forgotten. The former Hurricane is now being overshadowed by the likes […]
One of the most effective ways to have success in your Devy Dynasty League is to target and acquire college players who are projected to be difference makers from the moment they hit the NFL gridiron. Players like Amari Cooper and Todd Gurley in 2015 and Ezekiel Elliot in 2016 made instant, invaluable impacts for […]
Unless you live under a rock, you have heard of running backs Leonard Fournette and Dalvin Cook. Both are considered elite prospects, and more than likely first-round picks in the upcoming NFL draft. After the 2015 season, a majority thought Fournette would be the absolute best RB in the 2017 draft. Due to a season riddled […]
Kareem Hunt was one of the stars down at the 2017 Reese’s Senior Bowl. He finished with 15 carries for 118 yards and was named “North Most Outstanding Player.” You can watch his tape from the Senior Bowl here at Draft Breakdown. The Senior Bowl was a massive stage for Hunt, who, coming out of […]
In the grand scheme of things, the NFL Combine is the most important job interview of these young men’s lives. The medical evaluations and the 12-minute sit-down interview with each player are possibly the most important aspects of the combine. But, back in the day, Chuck Noll might have something to say about how it […]
Every year the combine can make or break a prospect. Many don’t like to admit it, but a ton of guys are moved up or down on overall draft boards based on their combine performance. Personally, I like to use Combine results as a measuring stick, and it helps put what I was watching on […]
I’m going to go out on a limb and stand on this statement, if this kid were healthy his entire college career, he would be the best linebacker coming out of Florida this year and entering the NFL draft. His practices at Senior Bowl week showed me even […]
There are hundreds of stories being told during the planning and anticipation of the 2017 NFL Draft. Today we will be looking at a scouting report for senior tight end Jake Butt, Michigan Wolverines. TE-Jake Butt, Michigan 6’6” 248 lbs. Please forgive my homerism as I have been watching Jake Butt in Ann Arbor for […]

Keontre Anderson. Not quite a household name yet, but give it time. Coming out of Canton High School in his hometown of Canton, MS, Anderson received several scholarship offers from Memphis, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Tennessee and more. Coming into college football as a 4-star receiver, Anderson chose a different path to take. One that […]

When you think of the Florida Gators of the past five seasons, the last thing that comes to mind is offense. Despite the lackluster performances the last two seasons the Gators do have at least one bright spot, that being Antonio Callaway. Callaway entered Florida as the as the 20th ranked wide receiver prospect in the […]
I came across Roderick Henderson while watching the NFLPA bowl and that was my first glimpse of the player. He is very big in the middle and has a nice explosiveness to him. At Alabama State, he consistently wreaked havoc and always seemed to be in the backfield. His first step and power […]
Corn? Elder? You might be thinking “You’re making that name up”, I wish I was that creative, but yes that is his name, pretty impressive. Not only is Corn Elder just a fun name to toss around he is actually someone to keep an eye on as an IDP […]
Carter Henderson is a redshirt senior inside linebacker for the Duquesne Dukes. He was born and raised in Pennsylvania. He chose to attend Penn State and play for Bill O’Brien after high school. At 5’11” and 215 pounds, he’s an undersized linebacker. He doesn’t win with athleticism but he more than makes up for his lack […]
