Dynasty rookie draft question (1 Viewer)

[King of the Wolfies]

We have a new $200 cap dynasty league. After looking at how ours was set up, the commish started bouncing ideas off me because it appears that ours won't be a great help to a bad team that gets the top picks. How do others set theirs up? Is the 1.1 pick a fixed $$ or does it change based on what position is picked? In a $200 league, what is a good $$ for the 1.1? We have 4 rounds but I can't see any use for more than 2 since undrafted rooks go into the FA draft later.

Thanks.

Every pick has a slot value.

I have one league that does it like switz and another that fixes a salary per round. We have toyed with setting by position or using inflation but haven't changed the rules yet.

Well established league. Each rookie pick has a slotted value. Also have pre-determined contract lengths, so every player eventually hits the free agent market.

right now we are set up with a slotted value. Pick 1.1 is $18. looking at our startup draft, only about 20 rookies were drafted and only 4 were over $10. All but a few were $1 or $2. Seems like a slotted value means that the mid first round picks are greatly over priced thus hurting the very teams needing some of the most help by them either paying too much or skipping their turn completely. Or do people really succeed in trading away these picks?

It really depends on how you price each slot. Generally in my dynasty league, I've observed only 3 rookies per year are really valuable in the short term (outside of the late round surprises) so those three are priced accordingly, but there is a huge drop off in price at pick 4, and then another drop off at pick 8 (12 team league) - we pretty much price it by round after that.
