Crazy Early Dynasty Rookie PPR Draft Board (2023 Updated Rankings Page 5) (1 Viewer)

In a 1QB PPR I have the 1.2 and 1.4. At 1.2 it is between Gibbs and JSN, at this time I see them as about even but I really need a RB more. My plan will be to stay strong and take the player I feel best about after the landing spot but also having the 1.4 could sway me some. Others in the player pool for 1.4 are Addison, Charb, and QJ. I'm willing to come out of tis with either RB/WR or RB/RB pending the NFL draft.
I think with the 1.02 and 1.04, the choice to take Gibbs at 1.02 is easy, knowing you can still land either Addison or Johnston with the 1.04 (or double down at RB). Obviously, fantasy values can change a lot between now and fantasy draft day, but you are in a great position.

Hypothetical: If you could trade 1.02 and 1.04 for 1.01 and ________, what would that take (in terms of picks in this draft)?
I have 1.01 and would not trade for 1.02 and 1.04.
Same here. Maybe if 2024 early 1st included. But still not slam accept

A month ago I would have said no to moving my 1.2 & 1.4 for 1.1, now I would consider talking to the 1.1 about a move. My concern is Gibbs, seems to be gifted but I wish he had inside running ability. It sounds like both Achane and Vaughn being smaller are better inside runners. I know that is not where Gibbs bread is buttered but at 1.2, I would like that to be a portion of his portfolio.
 
When I posed the question, I expected I might see some arguments in favor of moving back from 1.01 to 1.02 + 1.04, but that tier drop after the 1.01 is pretty steep.

Thanks to all who responded!

I don't hate the move, especially if your team is totally devoid of talent but I think I would stick with Bijan. You would be sick if Bijan has a Zeke rookie year and lets say Gibbs and Addison are just so-so.
 
I would add WR Matt Landers to stock up. Never even heard of him but he has a DJ Chark body and athletic profile. 6’4” 200 with 4.37 40 and 37” ver. Was average production wise but certainly has some unique traits.

Listen, Arkansas WR Matt Landers is growing on me.
His combine performance put him on my radar.
Listed at 6'4 200 with 4.37 speed is not common. 1f534.png

Yards after catch flashes I have to finish the deep dive but keep an eye on Landers.

I only have the Cincinnati game, but I was impressed with his blocking the other night when I watched it. He's got no problem getting physical

Is Tucker at RB4 taking into account this vague but concerning issue of his "non-injury medical exception" or whatever?
The latest I have heard is that Tucker has been cleared medically and plans to hold a Pro Day workout on Monday.

That's great news. Serious qualms with him at the 1.09, though. I think Abanikanda is ahead of Spears and Evans and so is Roschon Johnson by the time draft capital hits. Everybody's mileage may vary.

You could certainly be right. Draft Capital and Draft Destination will sort out the rankings. There is much to be excited about with Abanikanda. I went back and forth on where to rank him. His ceiling is high, and he is only 20 years old. If he is selected Day 2, he will undoubtedly move up fantasy draft boards. This RB class is one of the deepest we have seen in awhile.
 
Draft Capital and Draft Destination will sort out the rankings.

That's all I'm trying to do. I hear draft chatter about certain guys, so I'm going in thinking that the chatter about Abanikanda and Johnson being Day Two guys while Tucker is a Day Three has got me elevating them and downgrading Tucker. And Spears's 40 time is all over the place depending where you check, so I have no idea about him.

I am honestly a bit perplexed by Sean Tucker's Round 4 draft projection. If that holds true, like you say, he is probably moving down fantasy draft boards. Israel Abanikanda and Roschon Johnson are similarly being projected as Day 3 picks, whereas Spears is showing as a Day 2 prospect. (NFLmockdraftdatabase.com) Those projections are based strictly on an average of national mock drafts, and some may be outdated and adversely affecting those averages. We will know more in a little over a week, when we can replace those numbers with real data.

Tucker comes with his own flaws, but, like Abanikanda, his ceiling appears very high to my untrained eyes. I am eager to see how Tucker's workout goes Monday.
