Christian and I are putting the entire first round on the board in this episode of The Devy Royale. We alternate picks through all 32 selections, working through team needs, prospect value, and where this 2027 class could land. We kick things off with Jeremiah Smith to Houston and Colin Simmons to Tennessee, but the quarterback landing spots should get people talking. Dante Moore heads to Miami, Trinidad Chambliss becomes a Jet, and Arch Manning lands in Arizona. Which team gets its guy, and who passes on a quarterback to address another need? We also work through a loaded defensive group, the offensive tackles who could climb the board, and where players like Cam Coleman, Luke Reynolds, and Jadan Baugh fit. For dynasty and devy managers, these landing spots give us plenty to discuss about opportunity and future fantasy value. Watch the full episode below and let us know: Which pick do you love, and which one would you change?

In this episode, we continue our 2027 Summer Scouting series by moving to the secondary and breaking down some of the top cornerbacks and safeties in the 2027 NFL Draft class. This group already features a strong mix of size, coverage ability, ball production, versatility, and athletic traits that could make the secondary one of the more interesting position groups to follow during the 2026 season. For this episode, we focus on Christian’s rankings at both cornerback and safety, looking at the prospects he currently has at the top of each position. At corner, Leonard Moore leads the way after an outstanding 2025 season, with players like Zabien Brown, Kelley Jones, Ashton Hampton, and Ellis Robinson IV rounding out the group. At safety, KJ Bolden sits at the top, followed by Brauntae Johnson, Adon Shuler, Ty Benefield, and Bray Hubbard. There are a lot of different profiles within these rankings. Some players bring high-end coverage ability and true shutdown potential, while others stand out because of their size, physicality, versatility, instincts, or ability to create turnovers. The safety group also features several players who can impact the game in multiple ways, whether that is playing deep, working in the slot, supporting the run, or making plays on the football. This episode is about more than just the rankings. We look at the 2025 PFF grades, coverage production, tackles, interceptions, pass breakups, physical profiles, and overall projection for each prospect. We also discuss what each player needs to show in 2026 to continue climbing the board. If you are already looking ahead to the 2027 NFL Draft or just want to get familiar with the next wave of defensive backs, this episode is your starting point for the 2027 secondary class.

In this episode, we continue our 2027 Summer Scouting series with a full breakdown of the defensive linemen who could shape the next wave of college football and NFL Draft conversations. The 2027 defensive line class has a strong mix of high-end edge rushers, disruptive interior defenders, proven producers, and ascending traits-based prospects who could make a major jump with another strong season in 2026. Christian and I walk through our personal rankings from 10 to 1, comparing where we agree, where we differ, and which defenders have the clearest paths to improving their draft stock. At the top, Dylan Stewart and Colin Simmons headline the class as two of the most talented pass rushers in college football. Behind them, names like Yhonzae Pierre, John Henry Daley, Clev Lubin, David Stone, A’Mauri Washington, Anthony Smith, Will Echoles, Justin Scott, and Kenyatta Jackson all bring different strengths and developmental paths to the table. Some of these players win with explosiveness and pure pass-rush ability. Others bring size, power, run-defense value, versatility, or the ability to collapse the pocket from the interior. That is what makes this group interesting. It is not just a collection of edge rushers. There are true three-down defenders, interior disruptors, power players, and developmental prospects with the physical tools to climb quickly. This episode is not just about ranking defensive linemen. It is about understanding the profiles. We discuss each player’s strengths, concerns, PFF grades, career production, positional projection, and what they need to prove this season to move up the board. Whether you are preparing for the 2027 NFL Draft, following college football prospects, or trying to get ahead of the next wave of defensive stars, this is the starting point for the 2027 defensive line conversation.

In this episode, we continue our 2027 Summer Scouting series with a full breakdown of the offensive linemen who could shape the next NFL Draft cycle. This group features a strong mix of tackles, guards, and centers, including proven pass protectors, dominant run blockers, experienced interior linemen, and developmental tackles with the physical tools to rise throughout the 2026 season. Christian and I walk through our personal top-10 rankings, comparing where we agree, where we differ, and which players have the clearest paths to improving their draft stock. At the top of the class, Cayden Green, Trevor Lauck, Kade Pieper, and Jordan Seaton appear in both of our top fours. Green enters the season with one of the strongest pass-blocking profiles in the class, while Lauck combines high-level grades in both phases. Pieper brings a physical interior presence, and Seaton remains an intriguing tackle prospect because of his pass-protection ability and overall ceiling. The middle of our rankings includes Greg Johnson, Evan Tengesdahl, Anthonie Knapp, and Trevor Goosby. Tengesdahl stands out as one of the best run blockers in the group, while Johnson offers impressive size and balance at guard. Knapp remains a developmental tackle worth monitoring, and Goosby brings a massive frame with strong grades in both the running and passing games. The back end of the rankings features Blake Frazier, Austin Siereveld, Iapani Laloulu, Jacarrius Peak, and Greg Johnson, depending on the individual board. Each player offers a different evaluation. Peak’s pass-blocking production gives him a chance to rise quickly, Siereveld has already displayed excellent run-blocking ability, and Laloulu’s pass-protection numbers make him one of the more interesting centers in the class. Christian also highlights PJ Williams among his first three players outside the top 10. This episode is not simply about ranking offensive linemen. It is about understanding the traits and projections behind each placement. We discuss pass protection, run blocking, positional value, physical development, consistency, and what each prospect must prove during the 2026 season. Whether you are preparing for the 2027 NFL Draft, following college football scouting, or looking to understand the players protecting the next generation of fantasy stars, this is the starting point for the 2027 offensive line conversation.

In this episode, we continue our 2027 Summer Scouting series with a full breakdown of the tight ends who could shape the next wave of devy, C2C, dynasty, and NFL Draft conversations. The 2027 tight end class may not have the same volume as some other positions, but the top of the group already has several intriguing profiles with real fantasy and NFL upside. Christian and I walk through our personal top-five rankings, comparing where we agree, where we differ, and which tight ends have the clearest paths to gaining value. Names like Jamari Johnson, Peter Clarke, Trey’Dez Green, DJ Vonnahme, Brody Foley, and Luke Reynolds all bring something different to the table. Some offer receiving upside and mismatch potential. Others bring size, blocking value, red-zone ability, or the kind of two-way skill set that can keep them on the field early. This group is interesting because the evaluations are not all the same. Jamari Johnson brings receiver-level value and move tight end upside. Peter Clarke has the physicality, run-blocking profile, and enough receiving production to matter. Trey’Dez Green has rare size and touchdown upside. DJ Vonnahme, Brody Foley, and Luke Reynolds each have paths to rising if their roles continue to expand in 2026. This episode is not just about ranking tight ends. It is about understanding the profiles. We discuss each player’s strengths, concerns, statistical context, devy value, and what they need to prove this season to move up the board. Whether you are trying to get ahead in devy drafts, C2C leagues, dynasty rookie prep, or just want to know which tight ends could be next, this is the starting point for the 2027 tight end conversation.

In this episode, we continue our 2027 Summer Scouting series with a full breakdown of the wide receivers who could shape the next wave of devy, C2C, dynasty, and NFL Draft conversations. The 2027 wide receiver class already has a fascinating mix of superstar profiles, proven producers, transfer risers, and high-upside traits bets who could climb quickly with another strong season in 2026. Christian and I walk through our personal rankings from 10 to 1, comparing where we agree, where we differ, and which receivers have the clearest paths to gaining value. At the top, Jeremiah Smith sits as the clear headliner and one of the best overall prospects in the entire 2027 class. Behind him, names like Cam Coleman, Bryant Wesco, Wyatt Young, Duce Robinson, Nick Marsh, Ryan Wingo, Mario Craver, Omarion Miller, KJ Duff, Charlie Becker, and Ryan Coleman-Williams all bring different profiles to the table. Some of these receivers offer elite size, athleticism, and true WR1 upside. Others bring production, contested-catch ability, vertical juice, route-running development, or breakout potential that makes them worth tracking closely before the market fully adjusts. That is what makes this group fun. It is not just one type of receiver. There are alpha X profiles, power slot options, explosive vertical threats, and productive players who still have room to rise. This episode is not just about ranking wide receivers. It is about understanding the profiles. We discuss each player’s strengths, concerns, statistical context, devy value, and what they need to prove this season to move up the board. Whether you are trying to get ahead in devy drafts, C2C leagues, dynasty rookie prep, or just want to know which pass catchers could be next, this is the starting point for the 2027 wide receiver conversation.

The draft may be over, but the conversations are just getting started. Episode 2 of The TDR Draft Show is here, and Christian and I are diving into the topics that actually matter as we head deeper into the offseason. This week, we’re hitting NFL schedule takeaways, fantasy risers and fallers, depth chart questions, and the coaches already starting to feel the pressure heading into 2026. This isn’t surface-level analysis or headline chasing. We’re breaking down situations through a dynasty, devy, and C2C lens, focusing on actionable takes, player movement, roster construction, and the shifts that can give you an edge before the market fully catches up. From the Rams’ crowded TE room to Eli Stowers’ role in Philadelphia, to fantasy winners and losers after the schedule release, we’re covering the angles that matter most for long-term value. Christian continues to bring elite film and scouting insight to the table while we build out what we believe will become one of the go-to shows for serious dynasty and devy players.
