Undrafted receivers

Of course, the attrition rate is pretty high...
Brock Bowers

Worse, in fact, than you might think. In the last 20 years, five tight ends have been selected with top-15 picks...
DeAndre Hopkins

, 2024
In the last 10 years, only three wide receivers who were at least 32 years old have finished with top-10 numbers. It hasn’t happened in five years (since Julian Edelman in 2019)...
Nobody RBs

Playing around with some numbers, I see that 42 running backs since 2002 (about 2 per season) have gone undrafted, and then posted at least one season with top-40 numbers in fantasy leagues (using ...

Drake Maye in New England, J.J. McCarthy in Minnesota, and Bo Nix (pictured) in Denver...
Marvin Harrison
27 Jul
, 2024
It’s not unusual to see rookie receivers put up good numbers. Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson were both outstanding in their first seasons...

My leaning, after watching all of the passes thrown to those guys last year, is that Carolina looks like the favorite to emerge as the winner of this group...
Running quarterbacks

With both of those prospects, their mobility is part of the appeal. Both of those guys ran for 21 touchdowns in their final two college seasons...
Joshua Karty
21 Jul
, 2024
The Rams picked Karty in the sixth round, and he played well enough at Stanford that maybe he should have gone earlier...
Ladd McConkey

McConkey is quick, looking like he might develop into a clutch slot receiver...
Roman Wilson

Wilson didn’t post big numbers at Michigan, but I think that speaks more to how he was used rather than a lack of ability...
Steelers ground game

As noted in the magazine, the Steelers last year were the only team that put two running backs over 1,150 total yards...
Keon Coleman

Thirteen receivers were selected in the first two rounds of the draft. Picked with the first pick of the second round, Coleman is the largest of this group, but also the slowest...
