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 closed the book on our latest 10-round devy mock, and this one gave us a real pulse check on the market heading into the summer window. You start to see it clearly when you step back, where the tiers actually break, which positions are getting pushed up, and where managers are still willing to take on risk for ceiling.
This wasn’t just a board full of “safe” picks. There were cornerstone assets flying early, but also plenty of swings on traits, situations, and projected draft capital. That mix is what makes devy drafts so telling—you’re not just drafting production, you’re drafting timelines, development curves, and NFL outcomes.
In this article, I’m going round by round and pulling out one player each time who really stood out. Sometimes it’s a value that shouldn’t have lasted. Sometimes it’s a bet on upside that tells you where the market is shifting. And sometimes it’s just a name you need to be ahead of before the jump happens.
We’ll also zoom out at the end; looking at position runs, roster construction trends, and how this room stacked up against current ADP. If you’re trying to stay ahead in devy, this is where the edge lives. Lets dive in.
Round 1
1.01 – Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio State (2027)
1.02 – Malachi Toney, WR, Miami (FL) (2028)
1.03 – Julian Sayin, QB, Ohio State (2027)
1.04 – Bryant Wesco, WR, Clemson (2027)
1.05 – Cam Coleman, WR, Texas (2027)
1.06 – Arch Manning, QB, Texas (2027)
1.07 – Dante Moore, QB, Oregon (2027)
1.08 – Ryan Wingo, WR, Texas (2027)
1.09 – Savion Hiter, RB, Michigan (2029)
1.10 – Dakorien Moore, WR, Oregon (2028)
1.11 – Dallas Wilson, WR, Florida (2028)
1.12 – Chris Henry Jr., WR, Ohio State (2029)
Round 1 – Bryant Wesco, WR, Clemson (2027)
Wesco might feel a little rich here for some, but this is exactly the kind of swing I’m willing to take in devy. He’s already flashed early in his career, posting 708 yards and five touchdowns as a true freshman before taking a clear step forward in efficiency as a sophomore before the injury cut things short. Even in that limited window, the progression was obvious. Wesco wins where it matters most, downfield. He’s a vertical playmaker with legit long speed, and he consistently stresses defenses by getting behind coverage. The ball tracking stands out immediately on tape, and his ability to adjust late gives his QB room for error. That’s a trait that translates.
What’s encouraging is the development underneath. He’s starting to mix in tempo, creating separation at the top of routes rather than just relying on speed. That’s where you start to see the ceiling expand. There are still things to clean up. The frame can get challenged by more physical corners, and the drop rate ticked up last season. Both are fixable, but they matter for projecting him as a true WR1 at the next level. From a devy standpoint, this is the profile you chase. The injury slowed the momentum, but it also created a potential buying window. If Wesco comes back healthy and strings together a full season, he has the tools to make a real jump in the 2027 class. The ceiling is legit. Now it’s about putting it all together.
Round 2
2.01 – Bryce Underwood, QB, Michigan (2028)
2.02 – CJ Carr, QB, Notre Dame (2027)
2.03 – Ryan Williams, WR, Alabama (2027)
2.04 – Jadan Baugh, RB, Florida (2027)
2.05 – Vernell Brown III, WR, Florida (2028)
2.06 – Lotzeir Brooks, WR, Alabama (2028)
2.07 – Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, QB, California (2028)
2.08 – Ahmad Hardy, RB, Missouri (2027)
2.09 – Keelon Russell, QB, Alabama (2028)
2.10 – Andrew Marsh, WR, Michigan (2028)
2.11 – Ezavier Crowell, RB, Alabama (2029)
2.12 – Kewan Lacy, RB, Ole Miss (2027)
Round 2 – Jadan Baugh, RB, Florida (2027)
Baugh might be too low here. At 6’1”, 230+, he looks like your typical power back, but the game doesn’t play that way. This is a rare size/speed/agility combo, and it shows up immediately on tape. He’s one of the toughest backs in the country to get on the ground, consistently bouncing off contact and turning dead plays into positive gains. The contact balance is elite, but what really separates him is the movement skills. Baugh has real wiggle for his size, forcing missed tackles at a high rate and creating in tight spaces instead of just running through defenders.
What elevates his profile even more is the versatility. He’s a true three-down back with natural hands and the ability to contribute in the passing game, which gives him a path to staying on the field in all situations. Add in strong ball security, and you’re looking at a complete skill set that translates well to the next level. There are still areas to clean up. At times, he can be too patient behind the line, dancing instead of getting downhill, and while the long speed is there, it doesn’t always show up consistently on tape. But those are refinements, not limitations.
From a devy standpoint, this is the type of profile you chase. Baugh checks every box: size, production, versatility, and projected volume. Florida is setting up to lean on the run game, and if he gets that workload, the breakout is coming. He has a real case to push for RB1 in the 2027 class so if you are looking for a potential riser he’s a good bet.
Round 3
3.01 – LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina (2027)
3.02 – Nate Sheppard, RB, Duke (2028)
3.03 – Nick Marsh, WR, Indiana (2027)
3.04 – TJ Moore, WR, Clemson (2027)
3.05 – Jalen Lott, WR, Oregon (2029)
3.06 – Mario Craver, WR, Texas A&M (2027)
3.07 – Keisean Henderson, QB, Houston (2029)
3.08 – KJ Edwards, RB, Texas A&M (2029)
3.09 – Ousmane Kromah, RB, Florida State (2028)
3.10 – Jordon Davison, RB, Oregon (2028)
3.11 – Justice Haynes, RB, Georgia Tech (2027)
3.12 – Nate Frazier, RB, Georgia (2027)
Round 3 – Mario Craver, WR, Texas A&M (2027)
Craver is a tough eval for me. He’s one of the most explosive playmakers in college football right now, and everything in his game is built around speed and space. At 5’9”, 165, the size isn’t ideal, but the burst and acceleration are real. This is a true home-run hitter who can flip a game on a single touch. He consistently creates separation with speed, especially against zone, where his feel for spacing and timing stands out. Once the ball is in his hands, it’s over, he led the SEC in YAC efficiency, and it shows all over his tape. He can make defenders miss, string moves together, and turn short throws into chunk plays in a hurry.
There’s also some real development happening underneath. He’s starting to attack leverage better and show more detail as a route runner, which is key for a player with his build. And with KC Concepcion gone, there’s a clear path for Craver to step into a true WR1 role in an offense that wants to get the ball out quickly and let playmakers operate in space.
The concern is pretty straightforward: the frame. At his size, he’s going to struggle in contested situations and against physical corners who can disrupt him early in routes. That also raises some durability questions and limits what he brings as a blocker. The margin for error is just smaller compared to bigger, more complete receivers. From a devy standpoint, this is a classic traits vs size bet. The explosiveness, projected role, and potential production all point to a player who could put up big numbers and rise quickly with a full breakout season. But the size will always be part of the evaluation when projecting to the next level. He’s a high-variance asset. If the production hits at a true WR1 level, the value jump is coming but the profile comes with a bit more risk than some of the names around him.
