Interesting that Bryce young is still top 5

I have to ask Packer Fans. Where is this guy? You see every other first rounder getting graded for their performance. He was drafted 13th overall.

LaPorta says otherwise (Kincaid not too shabby either)

The most amazing thing about this class was how many players that were not projected 1st round or even high 2nd round picks have exploded onto the scene.
LaPorta was going mid 2nd in some of my TE premium drafts no less I loved LaPorta I had him ranked 2nd TE but I let others influence me and I by passed him for Mayer. Clearly that sucks now I could had LaPorta in 3 rookie drafts (2 TE prem) and only got him in 1 (non PPR no less)
I whiffed on Puka and Jayden Reed. Only got 1 share of Tank Dell and R Rice (and I no longer have that R Rice team).
0 CJ Stroud when I should have him at least once but biffed that pick as well.
So while the class wasn't as strong up top it sure had its depth if you could find the right players. Lots of now top 60 dynasty startup picks from this class.
Instead of getting those guys I loaded up on all the high pick 1st year misses guys like Miller, Spears, Bigsby, Mayer, Mingo.............I would been better off trading all my 1st and early 2nd round picks to acquire the entire 3rd round and 4th rounds it seems where the Puka, Tank Dell, Jaydeen Reeds were going.

I took it as a rookie draft take not a redraft take. Obviously in redraft it was hard to believe in those guys but LaPorta and others broke the mold.

I bought too much into a few off-season narratives that cost me:
- LaPorta: rookie TEs take a while to develop and most of the current studs, like Andrews, were not drafted in the 1st round of rookie drafts but in 2nd/3rd, so I passed on LaPorta in my 2 TE-P leagues. (At least in one of them, I took Rice at my 1.12 pick where I could’ve had LaPorta)
- Stroud: I bought into the 1st overall NFL draft pick upside of Young, when I could’ve had Stroud in 2 leagues. In my 3rd dynasty league, I lucked into Stroud because Young went a couple of picks before, so I took the last remaining of the top 3 rookie QBs.
- Charbs handcuff to Walker at 1.8 wasnt bad value per se, but I wish I grabbed Flowers instead. Time will tell on this one, I guess.
my hits were grabbing Rice in 2 of 3 leagues, Reed in 1 league. bijan at 1.1 was a slam dunk.
I don’t have a single share of Dell or Puka though :(
