Devy Draft Deep Dive: Insights and Standouts from Our Latest 10-Round Mock
Kevin evaluates top prospects, surprise picks, and value steals in a stacked devy landscape.
We just wrapped up our latest 10-round devy mock draft, and there’s a lot to unpack. From locked-in studs to upside swings, this board gave us a clear snapshot of where value sits heading into the summer. In this breakdown, I’ll take you round by round, highlighting one player per round that stood out. Whether it’s based on value, draft capital risk, or projected NFL upside.
Each profile will dig into the player’s current outlook in devy formats and how they fit into the bigger picture. I’ll also give some overall draft thoughts at the end: position runs, strategy takeaways, and how this board compared to current ADP trends. If you’re building for the long-term or just want to stay sharp on rising talent, this mock should help give you some clarity.
Let’s dive in.
Round 1
1.01 – Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio State (2027)
1.02 – Arch Manning, QB, Texas (2026)
1.03 – Ryan Williams, WR, Alabama (2027)
1.04 – Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame (2026)
1.05 – TJ Moore, WR, Clemson (2027)
1.06 – Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State (2026)
1.07 – DJ Lagway, QB, Florida (2027)
1.08 – Cam Coleman, WR, Auburn (2027)
1.09 – LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina (2026)
1.10 – Bryant Wesco, WR, Clemson (2027)
1.11 – Ryan Wingo, WR, Texas
1.12 – Darius Taylor, RB, Minnesota
Round 1 – Cam Coleman, WR, Auburn
Let’s talk about value. Cam Coleman is still flying under the radar despite his current ADP landing him firmly in the first round of devy drafts. That’s wild, considering what he did to close out the 2024 season. Over the final three games, Coleman turned 25 targets into 22 receptions, 306 yards, and six touchdowns. That wasn’t a fluke—it was a signal.
Coleman didn’t have much help at quarterback last year, which makes his breakout even more impressive. Now, with Jackson Arnold transferring in from Oklahoma, the offense should take a leap forward, and Coleman is set to benefit the most. He’s already flashed WR1 traits: elite body control, sudden burst, and an enormous catch radius at 6’3”, 197 pounds. His ability to separate and win contested catches makes him a nightmare in man coverage.
What’s even more intriguing is how he stacks up against his peers. Jeremiah Smith and Ryan Williams have dominated the devy headlines, but Coleman has the tools and production trajectory to challenge Williams as the WR2 in this class. He’s a former five-star prospect for a reason. If you’re landing him in the back half of the first round, you’re getting a steal.
Round 2
2.01 – Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State
2.02 – Justice Haynes, RB, Michigan
2.03 – Dakorien Moore, WR, Oregon
2.04 – Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn State
2.05 – Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson
2.06 – Makai Lemon, WR, USC
2.07 – Nate Frazier, RB, Georgia
2.08 – Bryce Underwood, QB, Michigan
2.09 – Keelon Russell, QB, Alabama
2.10 – Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU
2.11 – Caden Durham, RB, LSU
2.12 – Drew Allar, QB, Penn State
Round 2 – Nate Frazier, RB, Georgia
If there’s one player in this round who could level up into a top-tier devy asset, it’s Nate Frazier. Georgia isn’t known for producing massive running back stat lines in recent years, but Frazier has a chance to break that mold. Despite splitting the backfield with Trevor Etienne in 2024, he led the team in rushing with 671 yards and eight touchdowns. Impressive numbers for a true freshman navigating a messy offensive situation.
With Etienne gone and Roderick Robinson still working back from injuries, and uncertainty across the offensive line and quarterback room, Georgia needs Frazier to step up. The Bulldogs have added Josh McCray in the eportal, but make no mistake, this is Frazier’s backfield. And based on what we saw last year, he’s ready. He’s built for volume at 5’10”, 210 pounds and pairs that frame with legit track speed (10.58 100m). He’s not a finesse guy either. He runs with intent, doesn’t dance, and hits top speed quickly. There’s juice in his game that this Georgia offense sorely needs.
The concerns? Ball security and vision still need refinement. He was not the most polished back in the class last season, but he has the raw traits and three-down ability to command touches every down. Frazier is already on the shortlist for RB1 in the 2027 class, and if he gets the expected workload this fall, that race could be his to lose. In devy, you want to be early on ascending talents, Frazier fits that bill.
Round 3
3.01 – Nick Marsh, WR, Michigan State
3.02 – Ousmane Kromah, RB, Florida State
3.03 – Bo Jackson, RB, Ohio State
3.04 – Eugene Wilson III, WR, Florida
3.05 – Eric Singleton Jr., WR, Auburn
3.06 – Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington
3.07 – CJ Baxter Jr., RB, Texas
3.08 – James Peoples, RB, Ohio State
3.09 – Harlem Berry, RB, LSU
3.10 – Evan Stewart, WR, Oregon
3.11 – Julian Sayin, QB, Ohio State
3.12 – Cade Klubnik, QB, Clemson
Round 3 – Harlem Berry, RB, LSU
It’s hard to find a more electric upside swing in Round 3 than Harlem Berry. LSU landed the No. 1 running back in the 2025 class, and he’s already making his presence felt as an early enrollee. Berry popped during the spring game, flashing the kind of vision, burst, and natural feel that you just can’t coach. He’s still filling out his frame. He is listed around 5'11", 185, but the movement skills are elite, and the contact balance is better than you'd expect at that weight.
While LSU returns Kaleb Jackson and breakout star Caden Durham, Berry is carving out a clear path to meaningful touches. Durham is the projected lead back, but he dealt with injury issues last season. If that happens again, Berry has the talent to be the next man up. Even in a complementary role, he could see 8–10 touches a game, especially with how efficient he is in space.
There are still a few questions, pass protection and frame being big puzzles, but Berry isn’t just a future piece. He’s someone who could have weekly value if things break his way. He’s one of the best backs in the 2028 class; Berry is a smart upside bet this late in your devy drafts. He’s got the juice and résumé to be much more than a change-of-pace option.
