Very nicely done Bloom.
As always I disagree with some but agree with most of it. The tiers as you describe them make sense. I like that you separated the QBs somewhat while still having them slotted overall. I would kind of have a hard time with doing that. I just consider the top four to be tier two QB for fantasy and for that to not change much post NFL draft, but I could be convinced otherwise.
Curious about your thoughts on Demarcus Walker DE FSU?

Loved this.

I'm certain that I have never had my opinion of a lot of these players so divergent from that of Sig. Not even close. I'm wondering which of us is missing so badly or if it's somewhere in between. It's probably on me though...

Funny. I enjoyed most of the read and appreciate the effort but thought that line was ridiculous and incorrect.

I actually like Trubisky, but loved the line. Both for the Lebowski reference and for the fact that I get exactly what he's trying to say he doesn't like about Trubisky's game (and Tannehill's).

Surprised to see Webb, Peterman and even Dobbs don't make the top 100 as potential top 50 NFL draft picks.

seems to me there's a sense of "upside and elite talent at a particular position trumps all" vibe to the rankings. for the most part, that's how i look at deep dynasty IDP rookie drafts. i don't have garrett that high overall though.

D'onta Foreman is ranked way to low. Love big/agile backs. Running a 4.45 at nearly 240 is nice. He's at least as fast as Fournette. Imagine if Foreman drops 12 pounds and is a sub 4.4 40 and sub 7 sec 3 cone guy at 225. He was a monster in college too. Put up all kinds of numbers.
Pass him up in your rookie draft at your own risk. He's got a ton of good comps. Big agile backs do well in the NFL.

Other than the cap and punter that's similar to my league.
Top de taken last year (bosa) was pick 28. Which after looking back through the years is pretty close to the norm. LBs go higher but they also score more. And frankly, none of these DE look like good picks in hindsight.
Garrett will be great but I don't see the ff upside there to justify top 15, let alone top 3. If you think he's the next jj watt, maybe but I don't see that upside.

Was thinking the same while reading, can't recall ever disagreeing with Bloom's rankings as much as I do this year.

Bump for Post Draft.

I finished my rankings about an hour or so after Mr Irrelevant. Blooms slacking. 
I had a lot of time to work on it while I was waiting for the Vikings to do something though. I think Bloom was otherwise occupied.

Posted rankings here
I am debating Zay Jones vs Kareem Hunt right now. Jones was a higher draft and WR have more longevity than RB. RB are scarce though and I like Hunt more with the Chiefs than I do Jones with the Bills. Maybe Jones should be ahead of Hunt though. Same tier so doesn't really matter, but that is one change I might make.
I will slot the watch list players as I find time to watch them, but I think I have ranked most of the relevant players for fantasy already.
Love Bloom's work but these rankings are a mess IMO. I respect that it's not just another conventional ranking list and I love that there are some real contrarian rankings here, but plenty of this seems a little strange to me. Overall I would say that IDP's are too high (although Reddick ironically I would say is far too low given the situation he was drafted into) and any list that has a guy like Pumphrey ahead of Zay Jones, Foreman, Kupp etc has to lose some credibility. An interesting read though.eNdblu said:

I've got no interest in Pumphrey, but Zay Jones looks like a B-U-S-T to me. Toothpick frame ala Justin Hunter and Josh Doctson. Runs better routes than Hunter, so maybe you go with an AJ Green comparison if you want to be optimistic, but I just don't see it. Doesn't stand out to me in clips. If I'm wrong I'll own up to it, but he won't be on any of my FF teams.
