Davis Mattek on De'Von Achane

VideoStop Drafting Running Backs Like An IdiotJune 13, 2026

From the video

at the 1-2 turn, Taylor, McCaffrey, Achane, Cook, Walker, Hampton, Achane, Chase Brown, Barkley, the running back points get hoovered up... I think my guy De'Von Achane is dribbling here is an absolute layup cuz we don't have Mike Evans.

Elite 1-2 turn RB, layup pick with strong value

De'Von Achane is listed among the elite running backs (alongside Taylor McCaffrey, Cook, Walker, Hampton, Chase Brown, Barkley) whose draft capital gets 'hoovered up' at the 1-2 turn, indicating he is a consensus early-round target in 2026. Davis Mattek describes Achane as an absolute layup pick in draft scenarios because the team doesn't have Mike Evans and needs more numbers to throw at the position, making him a strong value selection.
