Davis Mattek on Dylan Sampson

VideoStop Drafting Running Backs Like An IdiotJune 13, 2026

From the video

Dylan Sampson is not a stone zero... Dylan Sampson plays for a very bad team, but again clearly has a standalone role. He's going to be the passing down back for a team that's going to have to pass a lot and we have already seen Dylan Sampson with massive contingent value when Quintez Cephus got injured.

Dylan Sampson ideal late-round back with pass-down role and injury upside

Dylan Sampson represents the platonic ideal of a running back room strategy; he has a clear stand-alone role as the passing-down back for a bad team that will have to pass frequently, and has already demonstrated massive contingent value when Quintez Cephus got injured, making him a strong late-round pick.
