Kamara would see 100 targets as a rookie, was an immediate RB1, and never looked back. Kamara would land in the perfect NFL spot for his talents – on a Saints team desperate for an electric pass catching back. Both eventually would star in the SEC primarily as pass-catchers, with strikingly similar numbers their last two college seasons. Both were highly-recruited prospects who started college ball at Alabama. Round 1 Draft Pick 4 | Jahmyr Gibbs – Running Back, AlabamaĪnalysis: Gibbs is often compared to Alvin Kamara for good reasons. Rationale: If you don’t need QB help and can’t or don’t want to trade back, Smith-Njigba is the clear-cut best non-Bijan pick. He stood out at the NFL Combine and is the class’s clear WR1. Smith-Njigba was Ohio State’s top WR in 2021 alongside Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave. But playing college slot doesn’t carry the stigma it used to. Yes, he played almost exclusively in the slot at Ohio State. However, Smith-Njigba offers a combination of elite route running, agility and short-area quickness. Round 1 Draft Pick 3 | Jaxon Smith-Njigba – Wide Receiver, Ohio StateĪnalysis: This pick is a bit surprising in a SuperFlex with both Stroud and Young still on the board. So, here we take the youngest QB in this year’s draft, the freakishly-athletic Richardson and will watch him raise the bar for the modern fantasy quarterback. Rationale: In 2022, five NFL QBs ran for more than 500 yards. Richardson may not have put up the passing numbers of those two, but if he can throw just well enough to stay on the field, he’s a high-end fantasy QB1. Stroud and Bryce Young! Remember, folks, this is fantasy football, not the NFL. Round 1 Draft Pick 2 | Anthony Richardson – Quarterback, FloridaĪnalysis: Wow! A bold, “in it to win it” pick right off the jump, taking PlayerProfiler top dog Richardson over other favorites C.J. Team: Jack Cavanaugh Nothing to see here.
