Navigating the Campus Side: Expert Picks and Draft Strategy (Part 2)

Welcome back for Part 2 of my C2C startup series, where I give you a behind-the-scenes look at my Campus selections and draft strategy in a league full of expert analysts. If you missed Part 1, where I covered my first ten picks, you can check that out here. I’ll run through picks 11-20 and my reasoning in this article and then wrap it up with a handful of my favorite late-round picks in Round 3. 

As a reminder, this is the Campus draft in a C2C startup, and the league format is start 12, 2QB, and Superflex. No more wasting time; let’s jump right in!

11.04 – Faizon Brandon (QB – TEN) 

I went with an incoming freshman for my QB3 with Faizon Brandon. He’s reportedly winning the QB competition this offseason and is tracking to be the Week 1 starter for the Vols. Brandon boasts above-average arm strength and made some impressive anticipatory throws on his high school film, displaying good footwork and mechanics. He’s not a dual-threat guy by nature but is highly athletic and mobile, amassing 24 rushing touchdowns and nearly hitting 1,500 rushing yards in his high school career. This pick could end up being a smash in the double-digit rounds. 

12.09 – Jai’Den Thomas (RB – UNLV) 

I wrote up Thomas a few weeks ago in another article as my Devy “sleeper” at the RB position. He’s coming off a 1,000-yard, 12-touchdown season where he averaged over 18 FPPG and should be in line for an even larger workload in Year 4. Not only should “Jet” Thomas be an every-week starter for my team, but I think he has some sneaky dynasty value as a potential scat back at the NFL level. He’s a smaller back but highly explosive and unbelievably efficient.
