TPE and Marketability ($) taken from S36 DSFL Draft eligible players list on 4/14
0-10 = low 11-100 = medium, 100+ = high
All stats pulled from Week 14 games
Runningbacks
Leandre Diarra - FB – 84 TPE – High Marketability
Last game stats: No carries, 1 rec 2 yards 1 td, 1 pancake
Powerful runner, best blocking RB in the class. Faster top end speed than one would think for a back his size, but might have literal bricks for feet in terms of agility. Usable for short yardage between the tackles situations, what Diarra really offers to a team is that he will not only not be a liability with blocking assignments, but that he excels in pass protection.
Jarvis Harbinger-Marjin – Power – 73 TPE – Medium Marketability
Last game stats: 1 carry for 12 yards
Punishing runner with average speed and agility. Although he is unreliable on third down as a blocker or catching out of the backfield, Harbinger-Marjin does display the ability to improve these techniques. Profiles as a two down and short yardage back. Some off the field concerns may affect his draft stock, however his imposing character may prove to be motivating in the locker room.
Nick Smith – Power – 50 – Low Marketability
Last game stats: 4 carries for 11 yards
Despite his size, Smith is a bruising runner with above average speed and average agility. His long speed compares to that of a back weighing 30 pounds less and at top speed proves a challenge to bring down to even the strongest defenders. His intelligence and patience keeps him calm and allows for him to see a hole opening before it does. A prototypical two down back that if given the chance could evolve into a true workhorse.
Wide Receivers
Mandrews McHollywood – Possession – 85 TPE – Medium Marketability
Last game stats: None
Boasting some of, if not the best hands in the class, McHollywood is the prototypical possession WR. Big bodied but with poor agility and average speed, Mandrews presents a limited route tree and low after the catch ability. He could prove to be a nice red zone target at the next level, but leaves a little to be desired from a technique standpoint.
Octavio Perez – Possession – 84 TPE – Medium Marketability
Last game stats: 6 receptions, 86 yards, 1 touchdown
Although Perez clocks in as the fastest WR in the class, the receiver’s agility is avereage at best. Perez lacks the typical strength you expect to see out of a possession receiver, but is still capable of going up and making the big play. Look to see Perez bulk up over this offseason. Perez may present the most overall potential at the position on the class.
Austin Morley – Slot – 80 TPE – Medium Marketability
Last game stats: 6 receptions, 93 yards
With the quickest feet in this WR class, Morley comes in as one of the most well rounded receivers coming into the draft. His short area quickness allows him to excel in the slot but his low end top speed leaves him liable to be chased down by some linebackers. Morley looks to be a solid security blanket for 3rd and medium conversions at the next level.
Tight Ends
Mister Hogmally – Vertical – 84 TPE – High Marketability
Last game stats: None
A true “vertical threat” TE not only because of his blazing speed but because his severely limited route tree due to his poor agility. Regardless, Hogmally will prove to be a mismatch for linebackers and safeties at the next level, and with improved footwork and route running could become an elite player.
L.F.T. – Blocking – 68 TPE – Medium Marketability
Last game stats: None
L.F.T. Enters the draft as the highest graded blocking tight end in the class. Above average in both run and pass blocking, however his receiving ability leaves much to be desired. An optimal player on a run heavy team as he is essentially another down lineman.
Reece Wells II – Possession – 57 TPE – Low Marketability
Last game stats: None
Wells II brings the best of both worlds at the tight end position. A viable option as a receiving target with average speed and agility and the ability to block weaker opponents in the pass and run game. Look for Wells II to bring balance to team’s TE room at the next level.
Offensive Line
J.T. Kurbis – Balanced – 86 TPE – Low Marketability
A strong prospect with average blocking skills, Kurbis leads the group an impressive offensive linemen with the most potential to succeed at the next level. Well rounded and able to fit in to any blocking scheme, I expect Kurbis to be a 1st round selection.
Dennis Rodman – Balanced – 80 TPE – Low Marketability
Although Rodman is the weakest out of the top OL prospects, he is the most gifted in terms of blocking technique. Endurance may prove to be an issue, however look for Rodman to be an easy 1st round selection for any team with a need at the position.
Pete Zuh – Balanced – 77 TPE – Low Marketability
Pete offers standard skills all across the board. A Jack of all trades but master of none, Zah rounds out the top linemen prospects. Pete projects to be a great value in the late 1st or early 2nd of the DFSL draft.
Defensive Ends
JR Frankenstero – Speed – 84 TPE – Low Marketability
Last game stats: 1 tackle, 1 sack, 1 FF, 1 FR
With above average speed agility, Frankenstero offers a high upside for being able to get after the quarterback. His dedication and work ethic have been questioned, however, as his poor conditioning requires him to take plays off. Look for Frankenstero to be an obvious pass down rusher.
Harley Andrews – Speed – 72 TPE – Medium Marketability
Last game stats: 2 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 Sack
Andrews enters the draft as one of the top speed rushing defensive ends. Only having average agility makes them less effective at finesse pass rush moves, but should be serviceable on passing downs. With similar conditioning concerns as Frankenstero, look for Andrews to be the 2nd defense end off the board this draft.
Zaire King – Power – 50 TPE – Low Marketability
Last game stats: 1 tackle
With above average strength, King proves to be able to move linemen off their blocks utilizing bull rush and other power moves. A solid tackler, he looks to be more able to play every down. His below average speed, however, will cause him some limitations at the next level.
Defensive Tackles
Tyrod Iverson – Interior – 88 TPE – Low Marketability
Last game stats: 3 tackles
About as well rounded as they come, Tyrod enters the draft as one of the most balanced defensive tackles. With only average strength and speed, nothing really sets Iverson apart from the crowd in this draft.
Xavier Valorian – Interior – 87 TPE – Medium Marketability
Last game stats: 4 tackles
Though weaker than most at his position, Valorian makes up for that with his great agility. Utilizing efficient footwork and technical hand placement, Xavier should become a good to great interior defensive lineman.
Joseph Reed – Nose Tackle – 57 TPE – Low Marketability
Last game stats: 2 TFL
With average strength but poor speed and agility, Reed is your prototypical nose tackle. A great tackler, he will prove to be a force to be reckoned with in the run game. Look for Joseph Reed to clog up blockers and allow linebackers to reap the benefits.
Linebackers
Fred Edison – Versatile – 87 TPE – Low Marketability
Last game stats: 3 tackles, 1 sack, 1 FR
Edison comes in to the draft as a high end do it all linebacker. Above average speed and strength (66), Edison will be able to make plays around the field. Though Fred doesn’t excel in coverage, look for him to be a leading tackler on whichever team he lands with.
Akaki Akayre – Versatile – 85 TPE – Low Marketability
Last game stats: 6 tackles
With average speed and strength, Akayre comes in to the draft as a tier down version of Fred Edison. With the right organization, Akaki could turn in to a great player in the DSFL, which is why I have them graded as the 2nd linebacker of the class.
Walter McKinley – Versatile – 50 TPE – Low Marketability
Last game stats: None
Another jack of all trades, master of none, McKinley will need to improve almost every aspect of his game to become a household name in the DFSL. He definitely has the chops, but we will need to see a real change in attitude and determination to make the leap to this level.
Cornerbacks
Mabel Pines – Cover Corner – 97 TPE – Low Marketability
Last game stats: 2 tackles, 2 PD
Pines comes in as one of the fastest players in the DSFL draft. Paired with above average strength, Pines is primed to be one of the premier cover corners in the league. Look for them to be a top draft selection for any team with a glaring need in the secondary.
Graham Harper – Cover – 85 TPE – Medium Marketability
Last game stats: 2 tackles
Another great prospect in the secondary, Harper projects to be another 1st round draft selection. With comparable speed to Pines, what he lacks in strength he makes up for with his agility. Though he may not be able to bully bigger wide receivers, look for him to be able to truly lock down a quarterbacks throwing window.
Suggs Upshar II – Physical – 50 TPE – Medium Marketability
Last game stats: 8 tackles, 6 Passes Defended
Though the top end of the cornerbacks in this draft class may be elite, Suggs Upshar II brings up the bottom of the bunch. His above average strength and speed but poor agility make him an interesting prospect. Able to bully smaller receivers on the line of scrimmage, Upshar often finds himself beat by quicker and more technical receivers. He is a willing tackler and may help defend the outside on sweeps and tosses.
Safeties
Teemo Swift – Center fielder – 88 TPE – Medium Marketability
Last game stats: None
One of the faster safeties in this draft class, Swift does lack in agility and is only an average tackler. Look for Teemo to often go for the big play instead of playing it safe. A boom or bust type prospect, Swift projects to be one of the top safeties taken in the draft.
Ju’uan Holland – Ballhawk – 87 TPE – Low Marketability
Last game stats: 3 tackles
Hollands physical attributes leave some to be desired as he is not the biggest or fastest safety in the draft. What does set him apart, however, is his competitive nature. Look for that along with some other intangibles to propel Ju’uan to great heights in the DSFL.
Quendyn Quarterstorm – Ballhawk – 78 TPE – Low Marketability
Last game stats: 6 tackles, 1 PD
Pretty average across the board as far as his physical skills go, but Quendyn Quarterstorm has arguably the coolest sounding name in the draft. At least he has that going for him.
