Liam Murphy jumped on Tyrone Tracy in Round 10, calling the rookie a pure value compared to Cam Skadaboo, who goes nearly 80 picks earlier. Murphy expects Tracy—last season’s starter who flashed explosive plays before some late-year fumble issues—to open 2024 atop the Giants’ depth chart. That outcome would give him immediate early-down and goal-line work in Brian Daboll’s offense. The pick also fits Murphy’s divisional-stack strategy, pairing a Giants back with Jalen Hurts for twice-a-year correlated shootouts in the NFC East. Even if Tracy flames out, Murphy said a "zero in Round 10 won’t kill you," but the hit rate on a cheap bell-cow profile could swing a total-points leaderboard.

Overzet grabbed rookie Tyrone Tracy at pick 110 and laid out why he prefers him over sixth-round teammate Cam Skattebo. Tracy converted from wide receiver, giving him the pass-catching chops coaches want, and should see the bulk of early-down work in what Overzet believes will be an improved offense with Russell Wilson under center. Skattebo’s short-yardage profile does not scare him because the team did not invest heavy draft capital there. Bottom line: Tracy is the cheapest path to lead-back volume in this backfield and worth any draft-room slide past ADP 110.

Liam Murphy grabbed rookie Tyrone Tracy in the double-digit rounds and explained why he’s a sharp pick despite the warts. Tracy flashed 4.46 speed and logged a 29-percent missed-tackle rate at Purdue, traits Murphy thinks translate to immediate big-play potential in a Giants backfield that currently lacks a locked-in starter. Even if the front office eventually works in Day-2 pick Dante Miller, Murphy expects Tracy to open the season as New York’s RB1 and hold the job for “the first seven weeks or so,” which is all you need in Underdog’s Eliminator format. The two main risks—ball-security issues (five collegiate fumbles) and a low-scoring offense—are already baked into a price that routinely falls past pick 160. Murphy is overweight on Tracy because the explosive profile can deliver early spike weeks while most drafters chase safer but lower-ceiling veterans.

Jon Warner warned drafters to steer clear of Tyrone Tracy Jr. at his mid-round Sprint ADP. Tracy’s 2023 Purdue production was volume-driven—4.9 yards per carry and only five runs of 20+ yards—and Warner expects that volume to dry up once a more traditional early-down hammer like Cam Skattebo shows better in camp. Warner noted Tracy is a converted wideout who still struggles in pass protection, a flaw that costs rookies snaps in real NFL games no matter how explosive they look in space. Because high-value touches (goal-line and third-down reps) are likely to funnel elsewhere, Tracy would need multiple breakaway plays each week to pay off, something Warner called ‘a low-probability bet you’re being asked to draft at ceiling.’ He has Tracy two full rounds lower in his personal ranks.
