The guys break down running back Emmett Johnson from Nebraska, who posted 1,451 yards and 12 touchdowns while showing elite receiving skills with 46 catches. Andrew sees potential as the RB2 in this class, comparing him to Chase Brown and Rico Dowdle. Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss from Ole Miss gets mixed reviews due to arm strength concerns, though his mobility could land him in the right situation.
Wide Receivers and Tight Ends to Watch
Wide receiver Eric McAllister from TCU brings size at six foot three but has limited route running.

The episode wraps with tight end Michael Trigg from Baylor, a 642 pound athlete who could sneak into rookie draft first rounds given the weak class. Check out the full breakdown for Dynasty Rankings and Rookie Big Boards.
