The Rookie 100 ranks players based on their possible values in deep dynasty leagues that have PPR (point per reception) and full IDP lineups. Be sure to adjust for your league's scoring and lineups and the makeup of your particular roster before using the 100 as a rookie draft cheatsheet.
Bloom 100 91-100 Discussion Thread
6'1" 211
Name | Position | College | Ht/Wt | Prev. Rank | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
91 | Rory Johnson | LB | Ole Miss | 6'0" 232 | UR |
Johnson is a JC transfer with a grand total of seven starts under his belt. He's extremely raw, but Johnson's speed, power, and need to take someone's head off made him a force of nature in those starts. He averaged 11.42 tackles in those seven games, which should get IDP leaguers attention. |
|||||
Did you know? - Johnson also forced three fumbles during his only season at Ole Miss. |
|||||
92 | Joe Newton | TE | Oregon State | 6'7" 257 | 51 |
Newton's 4.89 40 at the combine showed that he was unlikely to do much damage downfield in the NFL. He's still a sure-handed, clutch giant who has backup fantasy TE upside, but Newton lacks the upside of small school guys like Boss and Allan. |
|||||
Did you know? - Newton was an all-state basketball player in high school. |
|||||
93 | Rhema McKnight | WR | Notre Dame | 38 | |
McKnight's stock is plummeting. He did not run the 40 at the combine, and then only mustered a 4.53 at his pro day. He did run the gauntlet at the combine, and although he had one good trip, he also had one trip full of the drops and lapses that plagued him during his Senior year. He looked like a poor man's version of Steve Smith or Anthony Gonzalez earlier in this process, but now he just looks poor. |
|||||
Did you know? - McKnight did not play football until his sophomore year of high school. |
|||||
94 | David Clowney | WR | Virginia Tech | 6'0" 188 | UR |
Clowney reminds me too much of Todd Pinkston, but Pinkston did have some value in dynasty leagues during his better years. He did confirm his grade A jets with a 4.36 40 at the combine. |
|||||
Did you know? - Clowney was a track star at Virginia Tech who just missed besting many school records set by Andre Davis |
|||||
95 | Chansi Stuckey | WR | Clemson | 5'11" 197 | UR |
Stuckey had a very middling combine with a 4.56 40 and 35" vert. I'm still very bearish on his future, but it was probably overreaching to leave him out of the first 100 altogether. |
|||||
Did you know? - Stuckey was a high school QB and rated the #15 athlete in the nation by rivals.com. |
|||||
96 | Ronnie McGill | RB | North Carolina | 5'11" 213 | 77 |
McGill is working hard to come back from an ACL tear suffered in the last game of the 2006 season, but with RBs like Jackie Battle turning heads, the chances of him going undrafted have gone up. |
|||||
Did you know? - McGill started 7 games at fullback at UNC. |
|||||
97 | Justise Hairston | RB | Central Connecticut State | 6'1" 210 | 86 |
Hairston had nice all-around numbers at his pro day (4.15 short shuttle, 39" vert, 10' broad jump) and reportedly had an extremely impressive private workout for the Eagles. I'm pulling for Hairston to get drafted, but the odds are against him. |
|||||
Did you know? - Hairston had 197 yards rushing in the first quarter vs. St Francis (Pa.) in 2006. |
|||||
98 | Mike Mason | WR | Tennessee St | 6'0" 190 | UR |
Mason had an outstanding combine (4.40 40, 4.08 short shuttle, 39.5" vert, 10'9" broad), getting himself in the late WR mix of a deep class. He's also a threat as a kick returner. |
|||||
Did you know? - Mason was originally at UNC, but he was dismissed after being arrested for driving with a fake license. |
|||||
99 | D.D. Terry | RB | Sam Houston State | 6'1" 196 | UR |
Terry is an outstanding athlete with 4.4 speed who only played RB in his Senior year at Sam Houston State. His previous experience as an LB gives him rare toughness for a ballcarrier. |
|||||
Did you know? - Terry also ran on the Southland conference champion 4X100 and 4X400 relay teams at SHS. |
|||||
100 | Samuel Smith | TE | Florida International | 6'2" 245 | UR |
Smith might not get drafted, but he'll get to a camp. He's strictly a receiving TE, with 133 career receptions. He's got the good hands and routes to make a roster if his team is looking for another weapon in the passing game. |
|||||
Did you know? - Smith had an 89 yard TD reception vs. Maryland. |
