Dynasty startup drafts are where leagues are won or lost. Not because of flashy picks. Not because you landed a superstar quarterback. They’re won through positional leverage — understanding where real weekly edges exist and where managers are paying for name recognition instead of production. After reviewing five Dynasty startup drafts and comparing positional scoring, one conclusion became impossible to ignore: Quarterbacks are being massively overdrafted in early rounds.
First, let us look at how many wide receivers got drafted since 2010 in Rounds 4 and 5. There have been 120 guys drafted in Rounds 4 and 5 since 2010. Next, I looked at guys who scored fantasy points in college because we want guys who are going to score fantasy points. I looked at guys who scored 15 or more points because there seemed to be a big drop-off after that. After that, I looked at guys who broke out early in college. I picked 20 years old as my cut-off age, again, that seemed like a big drop off for the guys who broke out later than that. Lastly, I looked at their height, and the guys who were 71 inches tall or shorter were not doing well in the NFL, so I went with greater than 71 inches tall and narrowed down my list to something I am happy with.

My goals for this Quarterback model are to help us win more championships and have fewer busts in our rookie drafts for Dynasty football. Some players get hyped up with the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine each year, but they are landmines, and I want to help you avoid them if possible. Quarterbacks should always be one of the first pieces of your team, but you should always take the best player available in your rookie drafts and trade for needs.

Jonah Coleman is not hard to figure out. He’s not here to race anyone. He’s not here to bounce everything outside. He’s here to hit you, keep his feet, and move the chains. Every carry looks the same in the best way possible. Square shoulders, low pads, and forward momentum. At 5’9” and around 228 pounds, Coleman is built like a brick. Thick lower half. Low center of gravity. When defenders meet him in the hole, he usually wins. That’s why the “human bowling ball” label fits. He doesn’t avoid contact. He uses it. How He Runs Coleman’s game starts with vision and patience. He presses the line, lets blocks develop, and waits for defenders to declare themselves. He doesn’t dance in the backfield or rush decisions. Once he sees the crease, he commits and explodes through it. He’s decisive. That matters. Four yards on first down is a win, and Coleman understands that. His north-south approach keeps offenses on schedule and keeps him on the field. Footwork and Balance For a back of his size, his feet are better than you’d expect. Coleman has enough lateral quickness to slide between blocks and make decisive cuts in tight spaces. He doesn’t need wide lanes. He can get skinny and squeeze through traffic. The contact balance is the calling card. Arm tackles don’t slow him down. He pinballs off defenders and keeps his legs moving. During stretches of his college career, he averaged over 6 yards after contact. That’s not luck. That’s strength and balance working together. Ball security is another […]

Ted Hurst is the kind of wide receiver you notice pretty quickly once you stop chasing names and start watching traits. He’s big. He’s strong. And he plays the position like someone who understands how to use every inch of his frame. At over 6’3” and right around 207 pounds, Hurst looks like an NFL boundary receiver the moment he steps on the field. That Senior Bowl weigh-in mattered because it confirmed what the tape already hinted at. This isn’t a thin, finesse receiver trying to survive outside. This is a real X-type body that can hold up against press and physical coverage. How He Wins Hurst doesn’t win with pure speed, and that’s fine. His game is built on timing, leverage, and understanding how to put defenders in bad spots. At the line, he’s calm. He doesn’t rush releases or panic against press. He uses his feet, changes pace, and forces corners to open up. Once he gets into his route, he does a good job staying balanced and sinking his hips, which isn’t always easy for receivers his size. That ability to get in and out of breaks is what creates separation for him, not foot races. On slants, digs, and in-breaking routes, Hurst is especially effective. He uses his body to shield defenders and gives his quarterback a clean target. That’s the kind of receiver coaches trust on third down. Catch Point and Reliability This is where Hurst really separates himself. He’s strong through contact and comfortable catching the ball in traffic. His hands are big, his […]
