Fantasy Points

It is 2025 NFL Combine week! The Underwear Olympics are here, and I wanted to make sure I got another mock draft in before everyone starts dramatically overreacting to the workouts. On a serious note, the Combine will shake up the consensus a bit as we add some information to the prospect profiles. It will be fun to compare this pre-Combine mock with the one I do after. I have now watched over 200 prospects and scored 160+, so I have a pretty good feel for the class as a whole. Let me take a brief minute to explain how I use the Combine in my evaluation process and why things may change afterward. Like most, the Combine is a big part of my evaluation process. I use a numeric scoring system that produces a score for each prospect on a 0-100 scale. That score calculates four weighted buckets – film/traits, production/data, athleticism, and intangibles. Obviously, the Combine mostly has to do with the athletic profiles of each player. As I evaluate a player, I start to sort them into positional archetypes based on their physical traits (size and athleticism). Those archetypes have “athletic benchmarks.” The benchmarks were created using the work of data scientists on what correlates with NFL success, blended with my own track record evaluation of each position.
