I have logged as many rookie drafts as I could find – primarily in the rookie draft thread in the SP. All drafts are included, PPR or not, start 2QB or not. Only condition is that they started after the NFL draft was over and that they have finished by now. Here are the results of the first 26 rookie drafts (numbers are: ADP/ lowest DP/ highest DP):
1 Trent Richardson 1.04/1/2
2 Doug Martin 3.12/2/6
3 Justin Blackmon 3.91/1/7
4 Andrew Luck 4.46/2/9
5 Robert Griffin III 4.54/2/10
6 David Wilson 5.73/3/10
7 Michael Floyd 6.00/2/9
8 Kendall Wright 9.00/7/12
9 Stephen Hill 11.65/7/19
10 Ronnie Hillman 11.85/6/20
10 Isiah Pead 11.85/8/20

What I mean is that, I agree with your logic that there is value in identifying where the "world" believes the talent gaps are, and being able to apply that knowledge to your draft strategy. Where I disagree is that I don't think using the "world's" opinion of talent is a direct correlation to the "value" you get from a pick. For example, you state, "...you should actually pay more to move from 1.08 to 1.06 than from 1.06 to 1.04". I agree that it means you would have to pay more, but I don't necessarily agree that it means you gain anything by doing so.Not that I don't try to listen to tons of opinions and add to my own knowledge by doing just that (heck, that's one of the reasons I'm on this message board), but in the end your talent evaluations and predictions of where the drop offs exist are your own. Where I think the knowledge gained from ADP lists is very useful is in identifying 1) Where you can afford to wait on drafting positions because there are likely to be others of a similar talent level available at your next picks, and 2) What price you can expect to pay to acquire a particular pick, and what price you can expect to extract by trading a particular pick.Oh, and I totally agree that I wish the site to which I sent the link had more options for filtering and sorting the data they correlate. It's only useful to a degree, not as valuable as it could be. Your gift certificate is in the mail, cheers!
