2018 Rookie Drafts with IDP (1 Viewer)

http://dev.nflprophet.com/zf_board.htm

If you play with deep rosters, this is the ADP for you.

Up to date Zealots league ADP.  Posted in the Shark Pool, very relevant here.  All rookie drafts, no mocks, from 53 man dynasty leagues.  
Looking at that ADP, I think that:

  • I'm probably out on Darius Leonard at his ADP.  His opportunity is baked into his ADP, you have to take him assuming he is a multi year starter there.  I like Fred Warner just as much long term a round later.  I would like this pick more if I trusted Colts front office.  LB there seems like a jumble, no long term clarity, he's not a top athlete or anything.....I dunno.
  • Fred Warner was drafted by a team I think is headed in right direction, and his biggest competition for tackles is clearly a piece of ####. Latest is that Foster threw her dog across the room.   :no:
  • The ADP of the mid/late rounders will come more into focus as more drafts wind up.

32 teams, full IDP, 53-man rosters (plus 7 taxi spots); a little over 2 rounds complete as of this posting.

Note: There are 2 copies of every player in this league (making the 32-team structure more viable for such a deep league).  An interesting quirk of this is that you can see, w/in the same rookie draft, 2 data points for each player, indicating a range for where a guy was actually drafted.  (There are some interesting spreads for certain players, both offensive & defensive, & I expect these will only widen for later guys as the draft goes further.)

Ummm, anybody see Uchenna Nwosu drafted anywhere yet?  

2nd round pick, 6'2", 240.  Listed as DE on MFL, that will probably change.  If it doesn't, that could be a sneaky DE.  

His athletic testing was excellent. One of the few Force players in this draft, athleticism scores right there with top edge guys, and has played off ball LB.  Chargers have room for an edge guy rushing the passer, and for true off ball LBs. 

Thinking about him with last pick, because I cannot find him being drafted anywhere.

Nope, still not taken in mine either.  I presume the current DE designation is depressing his value.  I like what you're thinking though, especially given his track record--thanks for the summary--& the remarkable, uh...fluidity of the LAC LB corps the past couple of years. I agree that he could be a rewarding later pick.

Yes, he went at 7.07 (45 man roster)

http://www69.myfantasyleague.com/2018/options?L=28439&O=17&DISPLAY=LEAGUE&POSITION=*&FRANCHISE=0000

Not sure if this is a good barometer.  This draft was very different than any of my Zealots drafts.  Matt Adams LB IND went at 2.03.  I had to look up who he even was.  Not sure what the deal is but after that he started going late in some Zealots drafts.  Must have been a news article on him being a monster or something.  Anyone got the skinny on Adams?

I think you might be in a league with Matt Adams' mom.

MFL has a sort option by NFL team and their ADP order is alphabetical at the IDP positions so if he was thinking of "that Indy LB" meaning without being overly familiar with Leonard it could be pretty easy to just click Adams.

I picked him up in free agency. Not sure he stays at DE, might go back to OLB. The league that I picked him up is sack heavy if it helps. 

 
Vernon as the last pick is awesome. Zero risk and no real loss if he stays LB but huge upside if he gets back that DE tag. Nice draft.... tough not to like it when you get 3 of the 8 RBs, top WR, top TE, top S, top DE (in the 5th!) and get a high upside QB. 

 
Yeah, well, I also traded a #1 last year for Amari, knowing it would be Saquon, so hold the applause..........

 
I would think that's expected in a SF, no?  4 QB's taken means he's pick 1.05, that doesn't seem all that surprising to me.

 
I was expecting to see 2-3 QBs in the first, with the top 5 RBs still going first in the early portion of round 1. Instead it was 4 QBs in the first 6 picks which I found very surprising. The 14 team SF linked in the third post is more in line with what I've come to expect. Then again, this is my first ever Superflex and it's only year 3 now so maybe I just didn't have a big enough sample in drafting. I'd guess it was surprising to quite a few in my league, though. My inbox was full of trade offers when I went OTC and Penny / Jones were both still there. 

EDIT: found an SF ADP, which is more in line with what I expected the draft to look like. (kind of forgot about this site, actually)

I'm actually expecting something like 4 QBs in the 1st 6 or 7 picks in my couple of upcoming superflex drafts, & I expect Allen might go higher than one might think too.  Once Barkley's gone, I expect the QBs to go quickly, except for the teams already set enough at QB who can afford the luxury of dipping into that post-Barkley tier of RBs.

Re: the Uchenna Nwosu Q. above., in the draft I linked to above, I wound up taking (the 2nd copy of) Nwosu w/ the very last pick of the draft, 7.32 (the 1st copy of him in this 32-team league went at 7.21).  Speculative dart throw in the hopes that MFL changes his position to LB, since I've seen nothing but the Chargers referring to him as a LB.  (If so, a 2nd.-rd. LB w/ the last pick in a draft? Not too shabby.)

So how early's too early for Tremaine Edmunds?  In the SUPER-handy Zealots ADP massraider posted, he's ranked 19, w/ a range of being taken 1st at 8 (& last at 30).  I'm thinking of reaching for him in the late 1st round (!) 'cuz I think his upside & situation are so great, despite the potential folly of passing on an offensive player at that point, & 'cuz I doubt he'll make it back around to me in the late 2nd.

 
^ Thanks for the SF info. 

On the LB question: I've never been afraid to "overdraft" a little bit to get the player(s) I want. Unless you've got a big gap in value between Edmunds and the player you DON'T pick, you should take the guy you want. Selecting a player a half-round early b/c you know he's not making it back to you is fine. Edmunds went 2.05 in mine and that seems to be his ADP. 

Personally, I just don't see the value of Edmunds vs. the other LBs going later as a big enough gap to pass on a top RB in the late first. The top WRs are a different story, though, since most of them are being touted as future WR2, which isn't exactly enticing.

Regarding Nwosu, I am hoping he stays at DE on MFL.  More valuable.  It seems like it's possible he might get looks as an off the ball LB, and pass rusher on 3rd down.  

The Chargers defense is interesting to me.  They are going to a Gus Bradley 4-3.  I feel like there's a chance for some value plays there, depending on how players get categorized, and how the depth chart snakes out.  Ourlads has the depth chart as Perryman, Kyle Emanuel, and Hayes Pullard as top 3 LBs.  I mean, that's :X .  Jatavis Brown as top backup, but he went into the crapper last year, that seems like some behind the scene stuff that we aren't privy to that turned the Chargers off him.  Here's a good read on him.  I still have the top LBs for them being Brown and Perryman, but both have reasons for doubt.  Perryman has disappointed, and has been injured, it's pretty much pre-draft hype keeping him IDP relevant.  If Jatavis was a flash in the pan, or doesn't bounce back, there's some snaps for young, interesting super-cheap-to-acquire guys like Nwosu and Kyzir White.  If Nwosu stays at DE on MFL, and gets real playing time at LB, might be sexy.  Either way, he's a 2nd rounder barely being drafted, why not if you have the roster spot?  Their bad LBs combined with their scary good pass rush is why I m so big on Derwin James.  Opportunity for tackles behind bad LBs, and big plays brought upon by hurried QBs sounds pretty good for Derwin. Jahleel Addae was productive as their SS, but I think he just lost his job.  

In terms of drafting Edmunds, the 2nd round of the rookie drafts seems pretty not great all around, I can see taking Roquon or Edmunds there.  LBs after the top guys is not looking great this year.  It's mostly speculative adds.  If I was dying for Edmunds at end of the first round, I would trade back.  Someone is in love with Christian Kirk or Gallup, identify that team (who owns Dez?  :D ) and grab another pick.  Or have someone add a starting LB to sweeten it.  Moving from back of first round to early 2nd is a big drop his year, so the groupthink says, so I would expect a good return.  If I was in the early 2nd, I would personally give up a good amount to trade up from Dante Pettis to Courtland Sutton.  That's worth a staring LB to me.  You might even be able to wrangle a 1st next year.  

I never take LBs early, I always think I'm more prepared and do more research than the rest of my league, and will find guys the others don't.  

 
Not a rookie draft with IDPs but an overall ranking of all rookies including IDPs.

You have to go to the tweet and 'probably' zoom in settings to 250% to read the list but 30 of the 75 players are IDPs which even includes CB and DT.

Some aggregated Rookie ADP featuring #IDP. Obviously league setting and scoring massively matters but this is interesting for those of you who haven't seen much...

5:35 AM - 24 May 2018

 
12 team, 2 QB, IDP, Return yards, PPR salary cap https://realitysportsonline.com/DraftBoard.aspx?leagueid=2942

Barkley - Jackson - Penny - Jones - Ridley - Darnold - Guice - Chubb - Michel - Moore - Mayfield - Freeman

Rosen - K. Johnson - B. Chubb - Pettis - Kirk - Gallup - Allen - Sutton - Gesicki - R. Smith - D. James - J. Washington

T. Edmunds - M. Rudolph - Ballage - Miller - Evans - Hurst - VanderEsch - Leonard - Fitzpatrick - Warner - Goedert - H. Landry

Hines - Davenport - Jefferson - J. Jackson - Vea - Coutee - T. Edmunds - M. Hughes - Ward - J. Reid - Baker - Ito Smith

Chark - St. Brown - Tre Smith - Cain - Lauletta - Callaway - Andrews - L. Carter - Jewell - Schultz - Walton - Key

(I'm in a bit of a reboot and came away with Jackson, Michel, Freeman, Pettis, Kirk, Fitzpatrick, Davenport, Carter)

((Although it probably would have looked better Guice, Michel, Rosen, Pettis, James, any top 4 LB, Davenport))

(((Kept getting LB's sniped right before my pick)))

I typically don't do this but the two times I took a top LB late in the first ended up being Patrick Willis and C.J. Moseley so it didn't work out half bad.  A lot depends on your league structure as mine has a salary cap structure and the rookie picks have salaries based on the round they go in and really LB is the only defensive position that would typically be worth the salary you'd pay them as a first round pick.  Given that it is a 16 teamer and with the WR class being weak this year I see Roquan and Edmunds probably going in the late 1st and Vander Esch and Evans probably going somewhere in the 2nd.  As having the 2.06 (22) I'm a bit torn on who's going to fall to me there, if its IDP its probably that second tier of LB's.
