I will say, I was eons further than the league on who was a draft-able player versus who was not. My live draft I did along side the team, I drafted 2 players in rounds 5/7 who went undrafted (Jaxson Kirkland and Jerrod Clark). I am no pro at this, but 32 teams passed up these players in the end and I took them live. Time will tell how this will fair, but I think it's probably safe to err on the side of 'massive reaches' on my part. My live draft:

R1) [DE] Myles Murphy
R2) [3T] Adetomiwa Adebawore
R3) [TE] Darnell Washington
R4) [RB] Israel Abanikanda
R5) [T/G] Jaxson Kirkland
R6) [CB] Cory Trice Jr.
R7) [1T] Jerrod Clark

I'm not mad with my draft, but given the injury red flags for Washington, I likely go with Overshown,and would definitely strongly consider Michael Wilson there.

As far as redraft goes, outside of switching out Washington, I think I keep my draft. I took what I considered BPA on my board.

Much better than ours.

1. Avila starts at LG now moves to C next year when Tylers contract is up
2. Hyatt gives us a deep threat we haven't had in forever to open up things underneath. Way better than a meaningless TE.
3. Ika isn't far off from Mazi and he is 2 rounds later
4. Israel Abanikanda is a 20 year old stud with a massive burst to make plays.
5. Karl Brooks gives us another inside guy who can get to the passer. Also an option to switch to the 3-4.
6. Zach Kuntz better prospect than Shoemaker. Got him 3 rounds later.
7. Hunter Luepke shoulda been drafted just to ensure no one coulda taken him. He will make the team and play a lot.
#6 is laughable. Hyatt is a worse Devonta Smith. Total iffy draft with benefit of hibdsight. A for effort, D+ for results.

Kuntz might have the highest upside of any TE in the class. I wouldn't say he's a better prospect, but he's a better pick in the 5th than any of the TEs on day 1 or 2.

Hyatt is nothing like Devonta Smith.

Kuntz was drafted on his combine workout and size. What he did in college wouldn't get him drafted at all. He's raw as a receiver and his blocking was nonexistent. The Day 1 & 2 TEs play well enough to contribute this year and Schoonmaker is well rounded in all types of blocking and is a good route runner and receiver that has the speed to be a threat in the seam.

He had 73 catches in 2021, that's plenty to be draftable.

But yea, his upside is determined by his overall athleticism, which is pretty much unmatched.

At Old Dominion after it didn't work out at Penn St. Any of these D1 guys could go down to a small school and dominate. Kuntz is raw and needs a ton of work.
