2016 Rookie drafts with idp (1 Viewer)

Love these early rookie drafts before the "experts" come out with their combined board.  They are all over the place and usually make no sense.  CJ Prosise going 1.05 in one draft, 2.01 and 2.11 in the others.  lol.    Once Jene comes out with his combined board, then all the rookie drafts look practically the same with the lemmings copying.  Such is FF life.  FF used to take skill and those that put in the work were rewarded.  Now, if you have the internet you can cobble together enough information to get lucky without doing any work.  The olden days of FF were so much better.  Sigh.
My draft starts Friday so I sometimes still get my guys. Waiting until right before the season really makes it harder to get guys you like.

It's also a hard draft this year with idps so doing your homework will get you some good players.

I am not really feeling Jene's board this year.  Last year he had David Johnson as a 3rd round pick and Diggs as a 6th round pick and Langford as a 5th.  

This year he has Prosise as a late 3rd rounder I just took him at 2.2.  He has Ragland as a 4th rounder I just took him at 2.1.

Well he's not going to be right about every single player.  2.1 for Ragland is too high IMO and LB's are very important in the leagues I'm in.

If he's a 2 down player that's right, time will tell us if he stay on the field for 3 downs.

Hey, I was in that league.  Great league, salary cap, taxi squad, the whole shebang.  My favorite format ever.  Check the rule book on this one.  
I used to be in that league as well, the commish created the league based on the Paragon_FF rule book.  Our man Sigmund Bloom also played in that league for a couple of years too. The league rules were tweaked though a fair bit in the last year or so which I didn't like and I moved on.  The move from head to head play to All Play was the last straw for me

 
Hey, so kicking around on on MFL's Twitter account (I never followed before), I came across this site, doing IDP-only mock drafts:  http://www.punchdrunkwonderland.com/idp-mock-drafts

These are mocks, not real drafts, so grain of salt and all.  Having said that, they are asking for mockers to volunteer, pretty cool, and keeping a running ADP of the mocks on a spreadsheet (very cool).  One more tool to gauge where people are ranking players:

Prosise is pretty raw as a RB and is going to a team with a bunch of competition so third round grade isn't overly surprising.  Also, if you look at the board it is more of where he ideally sees their value, not where they'll go.  If you count the number of players with each round grade it might only be 4 or it might be 25.  FWIW, Waldman wasn't overly high on Prosise either as he had him at 27 in his post-draft rankings which would be even lower if he had IDP's mixed into there.
