Travis Etienne 2021 (Jacksonville RB)

Senior out of Clemson, just turned 22; in 2020 got to 1500 yards and 16 TD on 12 games, more than a third of the yards from 48 caught passes (third receiver on his team). Clearly we have a serious RB here who is a prime candidate for the NFL.

Trevor Lawrence 2021 (Jacksonville QB)

  I took a closer look at the Clemson - Ohio State game, which some would say was disappointing for Lawrence. 

Cornell Powell 2021 (Chiefs WR)

Powell, 5th round WR for the Chiefs, 23, 6'0/210, played at Clemson under #17.

Amari Rodgers 2021 (Green Bay WR)

 WR from Clemson, 5'10, good blocker for his size.

Jalen Camp 2021 (Jaguars WR)

Jalen Camp, redshirt Senior, 6th round pick by the Jags out of Georgia Tech.

Gerrid Doaks 2021 (Dolphins RB)

Doaks is a redshirt Senior, 5'11/228 RB out of Cincinnati , drafted in the 7th round by the Dolphins (who already have a few RBs).

Jacob Harris 2021 (Rams TE)

 Jacob Harris, redshirt Senior from Central Florida (UCF), 6'5/219, drafted as a WR but appears on the Rams depth chart currently as a TE.

Rookie top-5 per position

Positional Rankings. This page contains some provisional ranking and some notes, and is very much a work in progress towards my dynasty drafts.

Tre' McKitty 2021 (Chargers TE)

Tre' McKitty, Senior from Georgia, drafted in the 3rd round by the Chargers, 6'4/246 TE. Transfered from Florida State, only 6 rec in 4 games in 2020, for 108 yd/1 TD. He started 2020 slow as he was recovering from a knee injury, then after the South Carolina game opted out to focus on the draft.

Tylan Wallace 2021 (Ravens WR)

Tylan Wallace , 5'11/194, 22yo Senior, drafted in the 4th round by the Ravens from Oklahoma State, after they also drafted Rashod Bateman.

Chuba Hubbard 2021 (Panthers RB)

Chuba Hubbard , 22yo redshirt Junior, drafted in the 4th round by the Panthers (behind CMC), 6'0/210. Had a much better 2019 than 2020, which is interesting. Not a log of passing work in Oklahoma State.

Rhamondre Stevenson 2021 (Patriots RB)

Rhamondre Stevenson , 23yo Senior out of Oklahoma, drafted in the 4th round by the Patriots (who already have a couple young RBs), 6'0/231.

Khalil Herbert 2021 (Bears RB)

Khalil Herbert, redshirt Senior (transfer from Kansas). 5'9/210, just turned 23 in April, drafted in the 6th round by Chicago.

Hunter Long 2021 (Dolphins TE)

Hunter Long was drafted by the Dolphins in the 3rd round, which is interesting because they also have Gesicki. Long is a 23yo redshirt Junior, 6'5/254.

Jermar Jefferson 2021 (Lions RB)

Jefferson, 21yo Junior out of Oregon State, only 1 of 2 picks from that school in 2021, picked in the 7th round (almost mr irrelevant) as a 5'10/206 Lb (that's a lot of pounds for that frame).

Simi Fehoko 2021 (Cowboys WR)

Simi Fehoko, round 5 pick by the Cowboys to a very busy WR room. Age 22 or 23 (?), big bodied receiver at 6'4/227, junior from Stanford.

Davis Mills 2021 (Texans QB)

Davis Mills, redshirt Junior from Stanford, drafted in the 3rd round by the Texans (with their first pick). 6'4/217, 22 years old. 

Demetric Felton 2021 (Browns RB)

Demetric Felton, 23yo Senior picked in the 6th round by the Browns. He is 5'9/189, and can do damage both on the ground and through the air (especially in 2019 he was used on 86 rushing pays and had 55 receptions; in terms of targets that must have been almost 1:1). In 2020 he was the #1 back and had 827 yds from scrimmage and 8 TD in 6 games against PAC12 opponents.

Amon-Ra St Brown 2021 (Lions WR)

 Amon-Ra St Brown, brother of Equanimeous, 21yo Junior, 5'11/197.

Kellen Mond 2021 (Vikings QB)

Kellen Mond is an interesting QB, 22yo Senior drafted by the Vikings in the 3rd round. He has interesting skills but also some risks. I am excited though for the idea that he can learn behind Kirk Cousins, one of the safer QBs in the league.

Terrace Marshall 2021 (Panthers WR)

Terrace Marshall Jr is a 21yo Junior from LSU who played part of the 2020 season and opted out after November to join the 2021 draft. He is a respectable 6'2/205, great size and can win balls on size but also on routes.

D'Wayne Eskridge 2021 (Seahawks WR)

 D'Wayne Eskridge,, 24, medical redshirt senior (after am injury in his senior year), 5'9/190 speedster, drafted in the 2nd round by Seattle, which sounds wayyy early - but then again, Seattles has had some good 2nd rounders the past years.

Jake Funk 2021 (Rams RB)

Jake Funk, redshirt senior from Maryland, their only drafted player in 2020. 5'10/205, 23.

Pat Freiermuth 2021 (Steelers TE)

 Pat Freiermuth, 2nd round Junior from Penn State, 22 yo, 6'5 258. Got injured halfway through the season and had a season ending shoulder surgery. Still, this is the clear TE2 in the draft and a very interesting prospect after Pitts, at a probably much lower price.

Rondale Moore 2021 (Cardinals WR)

Rondale Moore (one of the many Moore's we will have in the NFL in 2021), 21yo junior from Purdue, 5'7/165 (that's fairly small for the NFL).

Rashod Bateman 2021 (Ravens WR)

Rashod Bateman, 21yo junior for the Minnesota Golden Gophers, 6'0/190. played under #13 and his final year under #0, will have #12 at Baltimore.

Seth Williams 2021 (Broncos WR)

Seth Williams was drafted in the 6th round by the Broncos, but he was actually the highest scoring receiver at Auburn in 2020, ahead of Anthony Schwartz who went 3 rounds earlier. Just turned 21, good size/weight at 6'3/211.

Elijah Moore 2021 (Jets WR)

Elijah Moore, tiny slot receiver at 5'9/185, just turned 21, drafted in the 2nd round by the Jets from Ole Miss.

Anthony Schwartz 2021 (Browns WR)

 Anthony Schwartz, 6'0/179, only 20 years old. Auburn WR drafted by the Browns in the 3rd round.

Dax Milne 2021 (Washington WR)

 Dax Milne, 6'0 or 6'1/190 junior.

Tre Nixon 2021 (Patriots WR)

 Tre Nixon, 6'2 180 Redshirt Senior, 23, transfered from Ole Miss after his rookie season.

Zach Wilson 2021 (Jets QB)

 Zach Wilson, 6'2, 214, 21 out of BYU, drafted 2nd overall by the Jets.

Luke Farrell 2021 (Jaguars TE)

 Luke Farrell, 6'5.5 and any weight between 240-260 (I've seen many weights reported), age unknown, but definitely a senior.

Dazz Newsome 2021 (WR Bears)

Dazz Newsome (no relation to Ozzzie Newsome, apparently) from North Carolina, 5'11/190, will be 22 in May. He was originally a DB, but converted to WR.

Michael Carter 2021 (Jets RB)

 Michael Carter, a year older than Javvonte Adams, but a freak and a great runner between the tackles.

Dyami Brown 2021 (WR Washington)

Dyami Brown, only 21 yo WR from North Carolina, made a great impression. At 6'0/195 he's a good size.

Kyle Trask 2021 (QB Tampa)

 Kyle Trask, 23 yo, drafted by the Bucs in the 2nd round, played QB in Florida. 

Kadarius Toney 2021 (WR Giants)

Kadarius Toney, Florida WR, 22 yo, 5'11 and 194 lbs, drafted in the 1st round by the Giants.. 

Ben Skowronek 2021 (WR Rams)

Ben Skowronek, only the #3 receiver in Notre Dame (after Javon McKinley and Michael Mayer), but still drafted by the Rams. 6'3 224, will be 24 before the season starts. 

Dez Fitzpatrick 2021 (WR Titans)

Dez Fitzpatrick, 6'1/210 WR in Louisville with more yards than Tutu Atwell on the season, but already 23 as a redshirt Senior. 

Tommy Tremble 2021 (TE Panthers)

Tommy Tremble, 6'4/248 junior from Notre Dame, possibly a dark horse as a TE, now on the Panthers.

Chatarius "Tutu" Atwell 2021 (WR Rams)

Chatarius Tutu Atwell, Louisville WR drafted in the 3rd round by the Rams, 5'9/165, so very much a lightweight speedy receiver. 

Ian Book 2021 (QB New Orleans)

Dual threat QB from Notre Dame, similar profile to Taysom Hill.

Trey Sermon 2021 (San Francisco)

Trey Sermon, RB of Ohio State (and before Oklahoma). He had a good 2018 (with some games of 20 rushes per game), then in 2019 played only 9 games (Kennedy Brooks had taken over) and transfered to Ohio State. In 2020 his first games he had only 10-12 rushes per game, then for 2 games finally got a good workload against Northwestern and Clemson.
