Starkiller Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 13 hours ago, NashvilleNinja said: Write up I read on Bryce Lance in the PFSN mock simulator: Bryce Lance, the younger brother of former first-round pick Trey Lance, is one of the most compelling FCS prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft. A redshirt senior, Lance didn't emerge until 2024, but he did so dramatically, amassing 75 catches for 1,053 yards and 17 touchdowns. In 2025, he was similarly productive, accruing 1,079 yards and eight TDs while averaging over 21 yards per catch. Lance's advanced numbers are jaw-dropping; per TruMedia, he achieved 3.8 yards per route run, a 21.05% catch rate over expectation, and 6.7 yards of RAC per reception -- over two yards more than his expected RAC. At 6'3", 209 pounds, Lance's primary mode is as an explosive vertical threat who can attack seams and take the top off the defense, and in the FCS, he feasted within that role. He still needs to improve at proactively attacking the football and controlling catch-point positioning, and inconsistent hand technique can be the source of drops, but he nonetheless has the size, speed, stemming ability, body control, and underlying quickness to earn mid-round interest as a deep threat and RAC weapon with additional upside to unearth. +++++ The bit about "inconsistent technique" being the "source of drops" is odd considering he only dropped 3 passes all year (5.6%) and had CTC% of 66.7 (8 of 12) in 2025. In 2024 he had only 2 drops and a CTC% of 61.5 (16 of 26). He’s big and athletic, so someone will fall in love with his potential. The question is his skill level and his level of competition in FCS. But he would be a good developmental guy if you don’t need an immediate contributor. NashvilleNinja 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it wouldn't be another Corey Davis/Western Mich situation where he's getting picked 5th overall. And there's a lot of depth at the position to push him into the back end of day 2, maybe even early day 3. Taking a receiver at the start of the 4th round two years in a row would be funny.
