Late Round 2021 Rookie Flyers
Hello Heat Seekers, welcome to episode 136 of Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast. I am you host; I am Rob Sullivan. The Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast is a proud member of the RotoHeat family of podcasts.
episode 136- Late Round 2021 Rookie Flyers. I am sure most have completed their top-12 or top-24 rookie rankings at this point as we prepare for the NFL draft on April 29th. These rankings are sure to change once draft capital and landing spots are determined. By now, I am sure you all know, landing spot doesn’t really matter much to me, its relevant but draft capital means much more than landing spot to me.
The players I am going to discuss today, likely won’t have very good draft capital, in fact I am sure there are some rookies that I discuss today that don’t get drafted at all.
These are players that I have studied for rookiedraftguide.com and players that I see with upside and I see them as value adds in the later rounds of your rookie drafts. When you start throwing darts at guys in round 4 and 5, throw them at these guys. I have selected six players for your dart throwing enjoyment.
QB – Kellen Mond – Texas A&M6’3” 211 Lbs.21-Years-OldCurrent Rank: 56th overall QB7
Late Round 2021 Rookie Flyers
There are the Big 5 at the quarterback position in this upcoming draft and outside of NBC’s Chris Sims I don’t know of anyone that has Texas A&M QB Kellen Mond among them. I do see some upside in Mond’s game in terms of fantasy football. In 4 years in college Mond threw for 9661 yards and 71 touchdowns with 27 interceptions. In addition to his passing, Mond ran 468 times for 1609 yards and 22 touchdowns.
Coming out of high school, Mond was rated as the No. 2 quarterback recruit in the nation, behind Tua Tagovailoa. While Mond was only a four-star prospect, he was the highest-rated dual-threat quarterback.
It’s the rushing upside that I like when I watch Mond. He is a true dual threat QB, and at 6’3” 211 lbs, he can move. In addition to his legs, he has a good arm. Where there are opportunities in his passing game, are his mechanics, his throwing motion is not exactly what you want in your starting QB. He is a hot and cold QB, when he is hot, he has done well, and as expected when he’s cold he’s ice cold.
What is extremely interesting to me is Mond is 21 years old, and he has 46 games of college experience. There are some teams that I would prefer more than others in terms of a spot for Mond. Washington, Houston, and Minnesota come to mind. He’s not a QB that I feel will start anytime soon, but on the three teams I mentioned he doesn’t need to. I want him to land in a spot that he has the potential to start, and I see that potential in those three cities.
In Washington, fan favorite Ryan Fitzpatrick is not a long-term answer and as good a story as Taylor Heinicke was a season ago he isn’t the answer either. Mond would work well in the Scott Turner offense and the offense has plenty of weapons.
Houston is a mess and with the Deshaun Watson saga continuing and looking worse with each passing day, there is likely some opportunity here. Houston did add Tyrod Taylor and Ryan Finley this offseason but neither one of those fine gentlemen moves the needle. Houston also doesn’t have the draft picks to grab a QB. They won’t be on the clock until pick 67 in the third round and pick 109 in the 4th seems about right for Mond.
