STRENGTHS
Dylan has that Christian McCaffery/Julian Edelman look and mentality about him. He is quick and fast and has those “Talon” like, bird of prey hands, that do not allow him to drop a ball. Dylan can play multiple positions in your offense because of his high football IQ, “talon” like hands, lacrosse-like quickness, and speed. He can play running back, slot receiver, line up out wide, return punts and I just bet he could be a hell of a defensive back too. Along with that high football IQ, Dylan has the instincts and strong “will to compete” needed to make a play when there is no play to make just like McCaffery and Edelman have. He will move the chains, at any point on the field and be a weapon in the red zone running or catching the ball. Dylan doesn’t take the big hit unless it is for a reason and yet he gains the needed yards and the needed touchdown, when that is needed. He does it because he is smart, fast, quick, strong, has Bird of prey hands, and is instinctive with the need to compete. He has the “it” factor everyone needs to have to be an impact player at the position they play.
CONCERNS
There will be teams that will not put Dylan on their boards because he went to New Hampshire. This will be, despite him embarrassing some of the top players at the Senior Bowl, and despite the numbers he put up at the combine… Some teams will never learn.
BOTTOM LINE: 1.83
Wes Welker, Steve Tasker, Steve Smith Sr., Julian Edelman, Darren Sproles, DeSean Jackson, Maurice Jones-Drew, I could go on but hopefully you get my point. Dylan has 1st round talent to impact at the next level. Whatever round you want to select him in is up to the teams in this draft. I would not hesitate to select him in the 1st Round but I know I don’t have to. I can look at Rob’s board and then target him at a point in the draft that makes good business since, maybe a round earlier to make sure I get him. His receiving talent alone makes me drool at the thought of him playing the slot. As we all know slot receiver has become a more valued position than ever before. Dylan, against Central Michigan, had 12 catches, gained 295 yards, and scored 2 TDs. As of this writing, Dylan is listed as the 167th-best player in this draft. That’s about a 5th round pick. Depending on where I would be selecting in this draft I would target this 1st round talented player late in the third or early in the 4th round. A multi-talented, multi-position, potential impact playmaker for your offense and because he played for New Hampshire, you’re going to pass on him? Trust me, if he played in the SEC he would be a top 15 pick on everyone’s board. Of course, I’ve been wrong before, I thought Andy Isabella a 2nd round pick of the Cardinals who played for the University of Massachusetts, was going to be an impact player also…
