Dynasty: Where to draft Trey Burton WHIR (1 Viewer)

[JMoz]

Trey Burton is the best of the non rookies in our pool. Where should he land compared to this rookie class? If he's available and slipping under the radar I may trade up to snag... Trying to get a gauge on his value in this rookie class. I have kyle rudolph and Eifert in a 14 team league. Was thinking maybe taking him at 2.07 (21st overall)... Would you think he is taken sooner? I have seen Gesicki going anywhere from 1.12-2.08... Does he have more value to my team than trying to land Gesicki?

I think he will be long gone by then.  Easily the first TE taken and 21st is typically later than Gesicki goes in most leagues as the first TE.

Top 8 RBs, Moore, Ridley.  At that point (1.11) I would start considering Burton.  I'd probably still take Kirk over him gun to my head, so give me him in the 1.12 range.

I agree with Freebagel. Burton will be the first TE taken and earlier than you think. TEs take years to develop and rookie contribution by TE is rare and limited. I can see Burton going just after the 1.09 if a team has deep pockets and RB and WR.

I understand the reasoning however you are ok at TE and don't need to force it.  Serviceable TE's are usually pretty easy to find each year so I wouldn't use a ton of draft stock to acquire one.  Depending on league scoring and my roster construction I would also possibly throw in the 4 QB's ahead of the TE's.  I just don't think TE is that impactful and there are usually guys you can pick up to use during the year.
