To be selected at the very end of the NFL draft is more a disservice to prospects than it is a privilege. These three running backs were lucky enough to go undrafted and smart enough to pick excellent situations for each of their unique skill sets.

No undrafted free agent will be able to replace Alvin Kamara, but Devine Ozigbo has the skill set to earn those touches if Kamara were unavailable. Ozigbo showed he has the skill set to excell in the passing game and make splash plays at Nebraska.

The lesson to be learned here is that you cannot buy-low on Tight Ends. They good ones are cheapest on draft day, and betting on the ones that have a discount is a losing bet more often than not.

This is the time of year when everyone clamours to draft capital and rookie year rankings as a means to defend a prospects rookie year struggles. The fact of the matter is, it is extremely rare for a Tight End or any other position to recover from a poor rookie year.

Is Andy Isabella a body catcher? Does it matter? Marquise Brown will never admit that the Baltimore Ravens reached for him in the first round.

Marlon Mack is ready to take the leap into the upper-echelon of fantasy football running backs in 2019. The Colts have invested in Mack as their lead runner and so should fantasy football owners. 2019 will be a big year for the Colts’ record setting running back.

Ty Johnson’s 107.1 (85th-percentile) Speed Score and 7.0 (93rd-percentile) college yards per carry best-illustrated his speed was utilized on the field. Speed is always appealing to NFL organizations. However, Johnson’s production declined in back-to-back seasons.

His 5.3 yards per carry seems underwhelming, but he significantly outproduced other Kansas State ball carriers.
