2024 NFL Draft Profile - WR Rome Odunze
The Football Guru replied to Mike FF Today's topic in FFToday Board
Correct. Penix trusted him (and all of his WRs, for that matter) and Odunze made contested catch after contested catch. Odunze caught a FBS-best 21 of his 28 contested catch targets. I don't have a yardage total to give you, but a lot of his deep catches were contested catches. Nine of his 23 deep catches were contested, per PFF. It sure seemed like it was more watching every one of his targets, so I wonder how PFF determines what makes for a contested catch. -
2024 NFL Draft Profile - RB Braelon Allen
The Football Guru replied to Mike FF Today's topic in FFToday Board
I thought for sure he was going to be my RB1 when I started these profiles, but the bulk of what I had seen of him before this month was from 2021. Needless to say, he doesn't look the same player. -
2024 NFL Draft Profile - RB Trey Benson
The Football Guru replied to Mike FF Today's topic in FFToday Board
I won't get around to Wright for another week or so, but Brooks and Benson are my top two backs so far. -
2024 NFL Draft Profile - QB Bo Nix
The Football Guru replied to Mike FF Today's topic in FFToday Board
Kind of a mixture between the teams that need a QB and the style of offense I think the prospect fits best in ... with more of a lean toward the latter. I am listing the teams in the order I think would be his best fit. -
2024 NFL Draft Profile - QB Bo Nix
The Football Guru replied to Mike FF Today's topic in FFToday Board
No first-round chance. No QB profile. I have to make the cut off somewhere. I will get to Rattler when I do my "Best of the Rest" over the final two or so weeks before the draft. -
2024 NFL Draft Profile - QB Drake Maye
The Football Guru replied to Mike FF Today's topic in FFToday Board
It definitely crossed my mind to add his hand size to the negatives, but I won't sweat it with Maye any more than I did with Burrow (which was not at all). It could hurt him in cold/rainy games, but I think there is enough of a gap between Williams/Daniels and everyone else in this class that I won't judge him too harshly based just on that. -
2024 NFL Draft Profile - QB Jayden Daniels
The Football Guru replied to Mike FF Today's topic in FFToday Board
Honestly, that is probably my top concern. He's also about 30 pounds lighter than AR too. I think he will learn (as AR will) to get what he can and get down/out, but it might be frustrating to own him in fantasy for the first year or two if he doesn't protect himself better. -
2024 NFL Draft Profile - QB Jayden Daniels
The Football Guru replied to Mike FF Today's topic in FFToday Board
Another great point, although you're going to find every quarterback sail a throw or three when you review 200-300 of them. Lamar was more of a pocket passer than he was given credit for out of college (I remember saying almost exactly that in my profile of him), but Daniels is truly a precision passer IMO inside of 20 yards. Caleb Williams is the more gifted passer per se, but he does improvise a lot (2022 was not much different than 2023 in that regard). -
2024 NFL Draft Profile - QB Jayden Daniels
The Football Guru replied to Mike FF Today's topic in FFToday Board
First point: you are absolutely correct about it being coachable. Second point: you made a great point, so I went through just his 2023 season to look at his four interceptions. Here they are: https://youtu.be/8GPmGrpW6rY?t=518 (WR fell down) https://youtu.be/cTPN8OurkAY?t=61 (trap) https://youtu.be/mmKtr4B9u0M?t=375 (tip) https://youtu.be/Tk-gQlHRdG0?t=733 (tip) The "trap" is the only one I would consider a semi-bad decision, although college QBs don't see a lot of Cover 2 trap coverage, which is what this was. I didn't review this game when I was putting the profile together, but I don't think I would have added it to the piece even if I did see it. -
2024 NFL Draft Profile - QB Caleb Williams
The Football Guru replied to Mike FF Today's topic in FFToday Board
Without giving it too much thought, I think low-end QB1 is where I would start with him. He's not as gifted of a runner as Jayden Daniels (and he's not the passer Daniels is yet either), but the talent is undeniable and the supporting cast may be top-five all-time for a No. 1 overall pick. -
2024 NFL Draft Profile - QB Caleb Williams
The Football Guru replied to Mike FF Today's topic in FFToday Board
I have the 1.03 in a one-quarterback dynasty league and will strongly consider him there, especially if he lands in Chicago. (I am in great shape at every other position besides QB.) Harrison/Nabers/Odunze would likely begin 2024 as my WR5 at best. With DJ Moore and Keenan Allen as his top WRs, I don't see how he fails. But I like him a lot less if he goes just about anywhere else. -

Week 17 All-Out Blitz (2023) ...

I would have gone with Monty. If you didn't, White would be my pick.
