Thanks for posting. Glad to see I'm not alone on the R. Neal bandwagon. I've got him a bit higher than 15 but you still have him higher than most.

 
It's probably just me, but I seem to be missing on Hill. I just don't see him as being anything more than pedestrian. I've seen a lot of rankings that have him as one of the top3-5 RB's but I just can't get my finger around it. I don't think Sankey is #1 either but I do like his prospects and respect you putting him at your top if you like him so much, even if you preach his "amazing skills" like its a religion.

Isn't RB depth always important though? Yet I don't see other people ranking 1, let alone 4 RB's in front of the pretty clear consensus top2 players (Watkins/Evans). Seems incredibly unrealistic for a league like you described for that to happen like that. I play in start 3RB leagues plus flex's and even there won't have 1 RB before both the pair of them. That's the only disagreement I have for the overall rankings, but good job overall I think.

 
I'm very high on Hill and I am very high on the top 4 RBs. In the leagues that I am in I don't play with flex positions thus just grabbing the best RB/WR is not an option. The people who obtain top picks usually have the psychology of "I am going to use this high pick for a RB" because:

1) I am going to get a RB out of this top pick - I may not get a top pick again - when I get this high pick I AM GETTING A RB!!!

2) It is generally easier to make due without a WR (pickup a Rod Streeter/Riley Cooper type) - not so much with a RB

I am sure that I am not alone in leagues that don't start 4 WRs or a flex position.

RB is king!

To say RB is king, reminds me a bit of Ingram over Julio or AJ Green. (not saying Watkins will be similar to Julio or AJ Green, but still the parallel feels applicable.)

RB is king* ,

*unless the talent gap is "remarkable".

Then again to each his own.

 
RB Is King but not in this draft. Overall rankings must be based on need rather than talent. No way I'm taking an RB in this class with Watkins on the board. The more tape I watch the more I want to avoid RB in the first round altogether and maybe pick up the RB scraps in the 2nd if I need one.

I think the exact opposite actually. WR is so deep in this draft. Why not get the better RB early and get a WR later? Play the WR depth to your advantage...

 
Looking for rookie rankings from TDMills, EBF, XUE and ZWK. Point them out to me if I missed them. TIA.
Pretty sure you can get EBF's from his sig. It's on another site.

Is it deep because WRs 10-20 are that great or is it deep because WRs 3-10 are that great. I tend to think the latter.

In this class Watkins/Evans should go 1-2, but after that can't argue with someone ranking the 2nd-3rd round RB's over the other WR's. The next group is guys like Lee/Beckham/Cooks who look like very good NFL players but don't seem to be the type of WR's that have the big upside to justify taking in the top 3-5 of rookie drafts.

The pick distribution when it's all said and done will probably have 3 RB's going in the top 6ish of rookie drafts.

You may have a point, but let's say you have pick 1-5

I say take a RB first (get the most talented RB in one of the best situations) and go WR in the second RD

Look what the results could net you:

Pick 1 Sankey - Pick 13 Cooks

Pick 2 Hill - Pick 14 Robinson

Pick 3 Mason - Pick 15 Latimer

Pick 4 Hyde - Pick 16 Moncreif

Pick 17 (or later) best WR available: Benjamin/Richardson/Adams

You can get a decent WR later - so go RB first!

 
You should tier these rankings up. Are Bortles and Bridgewater close in your eyes? Is Mettenberger right close behind them? Are your top six overall close or is it a landslide for the top 3? Tiers, gosh dangit. TIERS! :D

I'm working on my final pre-draft rankings right now and I thought about Mason at #3 for that very reason. Just don't see a HUGE FF ceiling for Beckham/Cooks/Lee. Of course, these RBs will be really dependent on situation. More than most classes due to the lack of premium talents.

I may end up ranking Hyde/Hill/Sankey/Williams/Seastrunk somewhat low and then cranking up whoever ends up in a good short term spot after the draft. As of now there's a strong argument that BPA rankings should be dominated by QB/WR/TE for the first 10-15 spots.

 
rankings before the NFL draft seem like a big waste of time
I don't think so. I like to get a good baseline as to how I rank them based on pure talent (based on watching games, tape and combine/pro day results) before the draft. When I need to make a close call or a tough choice I generally default to my pre-draft rankings based on talent...

I just don't know if this year is the year I want to pay that high of a price on RB. I really don't love them like you do. I'd rather have Watkins/Best RB available than Sankey/Best WR available but that's my preference this year. All of that could change in 10 days but its going to take a very good fit for me to move RB's into the top 2.

Edit: Just wanted to add positional rankings are not bad. Couple small head scratchers but good to see a different perspective.

I can see that, and at this stage with the RB's being so situationally dependent it's hard to rank them really high pre-draft before we know how high and where they get drafted.

Once the NFL draft is over and real rookie drafts start i won't be surprised at all if RB's go in the 3-5 slots.

I really like the WR's in this class from an NFL standpoint, but for FF after Watkins/Evans there really isn't anyone that excites me as a high probability WR1, mostly very solid guys who slot as FF WR2/3's or very risky high upside guys. Those type of prospects rarely go over 2nd/3rd round RB's who get drafted into decent spots, and there will be at least 2-3 RB's who end up in that situation.

 
If everyone agrees this WR class is deep, why does no one deviate from ranking Watkins-Evans at the top?

I'm not sure what my draft strategy will be yet. I do know I'd leverage Watkins if I had 1.01. I do know I'm leaving with as many WRs as I can throughout the draft. I can't say the same about RBs and TEs. I need to see where the land first.

gotta wait two weeks. Where will you rank Carlos Hyde if Tennessee drafts him? What if New England does? Talent > situation, but situation is very important for rb. Some will slide up.

You're definitely right. With the top RBs being drafted day 2-3 now, they can easily end up sitting behind an established starter like C. Michael or Knile Davis had too last season since every team has at least one opportunity to draft them. There is a fine line between talent and FF value post-draft like you said too. The draft will change everything.
 
I like Adams okay, but with the depth at WR in this draft it's inevitable that some good prospects are going to slip to the 10-12 area of rankings.

I think because those two will go 1 and 2 and as such, draft position does play a role in how committed a team is to that player and that in turn will translate into immediate production at the very least.

I honestly think there isn't much separating Evans/Watkins and Robinson/Adams/Matthews/Moncrief. In my updated pre-Draft rankings, I'm putting these 6 in 1 tier because I think the latter 4 has just as good of a chance to have a career just as good as the first 2.

Fair enough opinion, but Watkins and Evans are quite a bit better than the rest. At least they look it right now... NFL competition will prove it out, but Watkins is super polished at this point and he's above that second tier in my mind.

Pre-draft rankings should solely be about talent. I respect that way more than anything else I've seen, and I'm sure you have a strong argument for doing so. It's like everyone is cheating off the same test. There are slim chances you and I could independently evaluate 30 players in a "deep WR class" and spit out the same top-2 or so players. Its not like there is a Calvin Johnson in the group.

 
I like Adams okay, but with the depth at WR in this draft it's inevitable that some good prospects are going to slip to the 10-12 area of rankings.
Putting together this list really highlighted just how much talent is in this draft. I've never seen a draft with this much fantasy depth.

It's a great year to have multiple picks.

A great year to have high picks.

A great year to have won a championship and draft a very talented player at 12.

It's just a great year to add talented players period.

I would try and have the other person toss in a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick in any trade that I try to make. Those are usually throw in picks - NOT THIS YEAR!

The top WRs in the draft are much better than the top RBs.

 
In regards to your overall list for dynasty.

What consideration do you give to career expectation for RB compared to WR?

While RB can certainly be more instant impact, their careers do not last nearly as long performing at a high level. So for this reason I consider a top 12 WR talent to be more valuable than a top 12 RB. If the 2 players I am comparing I will get at the beginning of their careers.

I could see ranking 4 RB ahead of any of the WR in redraft if your only focus is on impact they can make to your team this season. But for dynasty rankings I would take a longer view on that and have the WR ranked higher because of it.

It is a difficult balancing act as if a RB does hit you can likely trade that RB for high value as we are seeing with the 2nd year RB dynasty values right now. I usually advocate for more of a win now approach, but I cannot ignore the long term value and safety of high quality WR compared to RB.

I think that is debatable. But let's just assume that you are correct...

Doesn't it make sense to get a RB in the best situation, and get you a WR later? I keep hearing that situation is very important for RBs (and I don't disagree).

Plus don't RBs contribute more right away than WRs? There is no such thing as a third year RB (I know that there is - but in terms of breakout performance there is not). Plus situation is harder to judge/read on WRs. If you take a WR later your still going to get a talented one...

I guess that I have just found it easier to find a WR - there are usually a lot of options (draft/waiver wire/trade for minimal value). The dynasty leagues that I play in have a 6 year Max contract (with dollar matching rights) so I am not necessarily looking 12 years out. Plus remember I play with no flex - so piling on with layers of WR talent will just have them on my bench... Having talent on your bench is not a bad thing. I just have found it harder to find RBs...

 
Thank you for you list Brewtown. My league is like yours, where as Watkins and Evans SHOULD be 1-2, but RB starving teams will go RB. I have the 1.1 in my league and will take Watkins, but picks 2-4 or 5 will likely go RB.

I think your rankings overall are solid as well. I may disagree with some of them, but can see why you rank where you did. Solid work.

 
There is always a balance factor when doing dynasty rankings. For the most part I'm a person who values talent over ability. I'll take a guy who I think is a great talent in a poor situation over an average talent in a good one. Where you draw that line is where it becomes tricky. To me, Watkins has pretty much established himself as the top guy in this class regardless of situation. Many also see Evans in that same light but I don't. After that, I think it could get cloudy. There are several good RBs in this class but no real top shelf talents. A good RB in the right situation can be immensely valuable. So there is the rub. I'd probably stil have a higher talent grade on a few more WRs than the top RBs but it may not be enough to draft them over the RBs who can provide immediate results at a premier position. The NFL draft will go a long way in sorting that portion out.

 
Plus don't RBs contribute more right away than WRs? There is no such thing as a third year RB (I know that there is - but in terms of breakout performance there is not). Plus situation is harder to judge/read on WRs. If you take a WR later your still going to get a talented one...
RBs have to learn blocking, and college offenses prepare WR better. I think both positions are expected to breakout by year 2. Last year a lot of rookie RB came in and did well in 2013 but that's not necessarily the norm. Ball didn't start, Michael played behind Turbin.

RB situation can be befuddling, esp this year. Let's see BAL, NE, NYG, HOU be some of the first teams to pick up RBs and then figure out which guys actually have a chance to contribute Y1. The best situations are what ATL and TEN and even those have well paid vets who could hold onto the job for most of the fantasy reg season.

Do you have those updated pre-draft rankings available?

 
Davante Adams at 13? Way too low.
There is crazy depth this year. Anyone who puts together a ranking list is bound to have "someone" too low this year.

I like where I ranked him. The guys that I have in front of him are no slouches and most have 4.4 speed...

Huh?

 
So bizarre that if a draft is very strong in an area, you should avoid it and draft the other positions because they're more scarce. I guess if you are in a rookie only league and need a rookie rb.

Who would have ever regretted taking Seastrunk over Beckham? The #12 overall pick in a WR class that everyone was saying could be the best of all time. He should probably be going after a 6th round RB in a class that could be historically bad.
