Someone will, and Gibbs is right behind Bijan in this class. Georgia Tech never used him to his capability. He can run inside with power, his lateral agility is elite, and he is a monster in the open field. Gibbs is a complete back and possibly the best pass-catching back. Gibbs entered the transfer portal and ended up at Alabama. 1.07 – Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama, (5’11, 200 lbs) Dwight Peebles ( (AJC.com) Still growing as a route runner, Smith-Njigba has an unlimited ceiling. Elusive and challenging to tackle, with the ability to play all three WR positions, it is nearly impossible for defenses to account for JSN’s skillset. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the most talented athlete of the OSU grouping and shows shades of what has made CeeDee Lamb successful in the NFL. However, the best Buckeye WR will have to spend one more year in Columbus. Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave are sure-fire 2022 first-round draft picks, and former OSU transfer Jameson Williams won’t follow far behind. The Buckeyes have one of the most talented WR cores in recent memories. 1.06 – Jaxon Smith-Njiba, WR, Ohio State (6’0, 198 lbs) Josh Adkins ( redit: SI.comC One of the more exciting running backs in the country, Evans just needs opportunity and a full season of games to put him in the Day 1 mix. Evans will not generate the type of well-deserved hype we see with Bijan Robinson but is the lone running back in this class with the talent and skillset to push him to be the top running back off the board and be the most productive from this class once in the NFL. The former five-star recruit is expected to have no shortage of suitors this offseason and is taking a visit with Ole Miss. 1.05 – Zach Evans, RB, Transfer Portal (5’11, 212 lbs) Raju Byfield ( Credit: Īfter a strong redshirt freshman season at TCU, Zach Evans has entered the transfer portal. Given the draft capital Fields just received, I think it’s highly likely Stroud is a top 10 pick in the 2023 draft if he continues playing at the level he did this season. There was still some question if he would be allowed to continue as the starter, but given the transfers of Quinn Ewers and Jack Miller, I think it’s almost a certainty that he will be the starting quarterback next season. His yards per attempt and air yards per attempt were both higher than Justin Fields 2020 season, and he threw 16 more touchdowns in only three more games. Stroud emerged from a crowded QB room this season to lead the Buckeyes to a 10-2 record and post very respectable numbers for a freshman signal-caller. I am curious to see how he looks under Kelly, but the talent is unquestionable.ġ.04 – CJ Stroud, QB, Ohio State (6’3, 218 lbs) DynastyPJ ( Credit: USA Today He looked absolutely dominant before his season-ending injury. I would have loved it if either of the first two guys fell to me, but I am happy to get Boutte. I was tempted to go with Bigsby, who is my RB, but decided to go with the guy I have ranked higher overall. 1.03 – Kayshon Boutte, WR, LSU (6’0, 190 lbs) Tristan Cook ( īoutte is my top WR in a strong class. If I had the 1.01, I still would’ve likely taken Bijan in this Superflex draft. Bijan has the size, at 6-foot, 200 lbs., that I look for when looking at running backs that can be volume players on our fantasy teams. He now has Quinn Ewers as his quarterback, which should only help if Ewers lives up to his billing. He makes people miss, breaks tackles, has fantastic speed, and catches the ball extremely well. I won’t call him generational, but he’s very close. It’s not very often you get to take a talented running back like Bijan Robinson in your rookie draft. 1.02 – Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas (6’0, 214 lbs) Jared Wackerly ( Credit: Tim Warner | Getty Images One key variable is landing place, but I believe Young will be successful no matter where he lands. Bryce Young has the accuracy and arm strength to be a very talented NFL quarterback. Unfortunately, he has to wait one more year of college before he is a lucky NFL franchise’s QB of the future. If it were legal for the 2021 Heisman winner to declare early, he would easily be the QB1 in this class. 1.01 – Bryce Young, QB, Alabama (6’0, 194 lbs) Bobby Bishop ( Credit: Getty Images With that in mind, here is our first 2023 mock draft of 2022. With many providers allowing fantasy managers to trade picks two or three years into the future, getting to know future prospects can help give you a competitive advantage in trade talks. 2023 rookie mock draft? Already? It is never too early for the avid dynasty manager to start looking ahead to future draft classes to familiarize oneself with what may or may not be available with future rookie picks.
