We have knocked out 8 Superflex mocks over a two-month span this year. This gives us a solid starting point to compare the ADP we’ve compiled to the rankings in the Devy Watch Guide. We can see who the Devy Watch team favors compared to public perception. Below are the top 10 players that we have ranked higher than current ADP and our reasoning for valuing the prospect.
If you wish to join a Devy Superflex Mock Draft and help us build ADP, please reach out to Greg Brandt – @DevyWarehouse
Dazz Newsome, WR, North Carolina – 2021
DWG: 68
ADP: 116.63
Diff: 48.63
Dazz Newsome broke out in a big way as a true junior in 2019. His development turned the corner from exciting athlete to promising receiver, as he posted his first a 1,000 yard season along with 10 TDs along the way. As a freshman, Newsome played sparingly and as a sophomore, he was featured primarily in the return game and on WR screens. The longer development curve intuitively makes sense, as he played a lot of running back in high school and was recruited as a DB before making the switch to wideout. – Blurb from the 2020 Devy Watch profile from Clay Stefan

Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas – 2022
DWG: 70
ADP: 118.38
Diff: 48.38
Treylon Burks looks like a mix between former SEC legends, Julio Jones and AJ Brown. Similar to the way we saw Brown utilized for the Titans, Burks has the ability to be a ball-carrier, deep-threat, and menace after-the catch on short routes. The Hogs new OC, Kendall Briles, WR1 averaged 73-1217-12 over the past eight seasons and Burks is my vote to be that man in 2020. – Burks’ 2020 Devy Watch lead evaluator Kyle Francis
Re’Mahn Davis, RB, Temple – 2022
DWG: 71
ADP: 119.25
Diff: 48.25
After an impressive true freshman season that saw Davis rush for over 1,000 yards in 2020. He caught the eye of the Devy Watch team.
Davis shows excellent patience when running the football. He stays behind his blocking and waits for the play to set up until he can find a seam in the defense. He also has very good vision. He does a great job finding the cutback lanes and holes in the defense which helped him average nearly 5 yards per carry. Davis also has fantastic play strength. He won’t be the player to run people over, but he is very hard to knock off balance and can shed tacklers very well. – Blurb from the 2020 Devy Watch profile from Cody Garrett
True Freshman #Temple RB Re’Mahn Davis has been awfully impressive this season.

Jhamon Ausbon, WR, Texas A&M – 2021
DWG: 67
ADP: 105
Diff: 38
Jhamon Ausbon has been held back by the tendencies of his collegiate offensive coordinators. He caught 50 balls as a true freshman in the SEC on the heels of posting a 122 SPARQ Score as a teenager. After an injury-dip as a sophomore, he bounced back with 66-872-5 as a junior. While it’s unlikely that Ausbon is going to be selected in the first or second rounds of the 2021 NFL Draft, he will be drafted as a 21-year-old with solid production and proven athleticism. That is a recipe for success and his cost is minimal. – Ausbon 2020 Devy Watch lead evaluator Kyle Francis
Jayden Reed, WR, Michigan St. – 2021
DWG: 81
ADP: 118.5
Diff: 37.5
Reed had an early breakout at Western Michigan as a true freshman before sitting out the 2019 season due to transferring to Michigan State. Reed had a dominator rating of 33% at his 18.5 breakout age. The Spartans vacate almost 66% of their yards from wide receivers in 2019. Reed should have every opportunity to become the lead receiver in 2020. Now that Reed will be more on the national stage at a Big Ten school, he’ll be able to grab more attention. – Reed 2020 Devy Watch lead evaluator Greg Brandt

JD Spielman, WR, Nebraska – 2021
DW: 82
ADP: 119.25
Diff: 37.25
Watching Spielman, you see his speed and explosiveness right off the bat. He explodes off the line of scrimmage and has the long speed to get over on the defense and make huge plays. Spielman has incredible quickness that he not only uses to win off the line of scrimmage but also to make plays once the ball is in his hands. – Blurb from the 2020 Devy Watch profile from Cody Garrett
Jalen McMillan, WR, Washington – 2023
DWG: 75
ADP: 108.13
Diff: 33.13
McMillan is an advanced wide receiver at the high school level who still has a ton of development left. His frame should allow him to add good weight and improve athleticism. Although he is a good separator, McMillan will try to do too much at the line and spend too much time on his footwork instead of getting into his route. Overall, I think he can be a solid contributor year one because he is immensely talented while also having a great understanding of the position. – Blurb from Jalen McMillan’s Scouting Report by LJ Chaney
2020 WR recruit Jalen McMillan (6’2” 181) is a vry gd route runner. Shows gd hand usage vs Press & executes a vry gd spd release vs Man. Separates with fluid footwork & crisp breaks. Shows gd speed throughout his stem. Has some concentration issues, evident at the Opening #devy pic.twitter.com/yDbbrYpZl7

Brennan Eagles, WR, Texas – 2021
DWG: 34
ADP: 65.25
Diff: 31.25
With another year in the Texas offense and more targets headed his way with Collin Johnson and Duvernay moving on, Eagles is poised for a very productive season. If he ends up in the slot, a 1,000-yard season is not out of the question. As an NFL prospect, Eagles possess WR1 upside, but how he manages next season will provide the lens for his potential NFL future. – Blurb from the 2020 Devy Watch profile from Jason DiRienzo

Mycah Pittman, WR, Oregon – 2022
DWG: 80
ADP: 108.38
Diff: 28.38
Solid acceleration and speed. Good release with quick footwork. Refined at the position and a lot likely has to do with how he was brought up. Solid play-maker who is able to make plays after the catch. Can win deep with speed. Uses his hands well to keep DBs off of him. He has limited tape at this point, but I’ve seen enough from him to go out on a limb and expect a strong year two from Pittman. – Blurb from the 2020 Devy Watch profile from LJ Chaney
Mycah Pittman (@MycahPittman) scores his first career TD on 4th and three. A memorable one and a favorite play of @coacharroyoTheO pic.twitter.com/7zeCH9CNeX

Tyrion Davis-Price, RB, LSU – 2022
DWG: 58
ADP: 85.63
Diff: 27.63
Tyrion Davis-Price was a four-star-recruit from Louisiana. While many anticipated his classmate, John Emery, Jr., would thrive in 2019, it was actually TDP that assumed the RB2 role for the National Champs. He possesses the size to be a feature back in the SEC and in the NFL, and his SPARQ Score of 117 in high school shows that his athletic profile should be an asset for him in the pre-draft-process. While his play-style may mimic a former LSU Tiger in Jeremy Hill or Boston College’s AJ Dillon, players with his size, pedigree, and ability to fend off other top prospects shouldn’t be ignored. TDP isn’t the sexiest player to roster, but he may end up being a great investment at his current ADP. – Davis-Price 2020 Devy Watch lead evaluator Kyle Francis

I feel really good about the prospects listed above, in terms of our ranking compared to ADP. A guy like Treylon Burks is severely overlooked, and those owners who pounce on him this off-season will be laughing in the long haul. Brennan Eagles being a mid sixth-round pick is criminal at this point. I’d personally be willing to spend a mid to late third-round pick on him in a startup draft. For many of the above players, now is the time to get them on your taxi squads before their talent matches ADP.
