Help me choose a rookie WR (keeper league) (1 Viewer)

[daveR]

Drafting a rookie wr high. Who's gonna perform best over the next 4 years?
I will probably be taking the second WR off the board & I'm thinking Tet goes first. I'm tempted to go with Golden, but I don't know if it's stupid to take him over Hunter.

If looking at that 4-year window only ... I kinda like McMillan's lack of target competition at the moment. I know that works both ways. But I always say I'll take 170 targets in tough coverage over 110 easier targets.

Easily Tet given draft capital, college career and landing spot. Hunter probably has more upside but he also comes with the risk he struggles as a receiver and the team just decides to pull the plug and make him a full time CB. So I do see the logic in Golden over Hunter. It's a fear based approach and highly conservative but not crazy. The bigger question is why are you locked into WR? I think taking Golden over Hampton, Henderson, Judkins is bad process unless there is a lot of info I don't know like you already are taking Jeanty at 1.01 and you have Bijan, Gibbs and Achane on keeper deals or something.

will Hunter get IDP points and WR points? if so, I would go with him. If not, then Tet.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

I voted Golden. I think it's going to be Tet but the OP says that you think Tet will be gone by the time you pick but if Tet is still there take him but I like Golden over Hunter in non IDP.

Curious about the "Other" vote; I'm assuming it has to be Burden?

McMillan first. Then Hunter. Play to win. Then I would go Egbuka, Burden and Golden in that order

I have a couple picks and will probably use the earliest on a RB. The WRs are likely to fall.

I would switch Burden and Golden but I agree with the rest of the order.

The question still stands. Why are you locking in for a WR? Take the BPA always in rookie drafts. Don't force a position.

In my league mocks, BPA will be a WR. No doubt. My biggest question is whether I go with Hunter (no idp) or someone else. I think Tet will be the only WR taken at this point.

Hunter
Tet
Golden

 

[daveR]

I have to say I'm surprised at the lack of Golden love. Given that GB made such a show at taking him with their top pick, I expect he'll have TONS of routes as their wr1.

What pick numbers do you have? You said you will get a RB with your 1st pick and want a WR with your 2nd pick. What are the pick numbers?

The reason I ask is that I typically create a combined draft board of all positions. I would suggest the same for you and then you aren't locked into a position when your pick comes up. Just take the highest guy on your draft board. If you put in the work to create the draft board then the draft is easy as you just take the top guy on the board when it's your pick.

Looking back 4 years from now I think people will be shocked Egbuka didn't run away with this. Year 1, and maybe even year 2, he might not be leading the pack. But I think after 4 years he will have the most cumulative fantasy points, and that it won't even be close.

 

[daveR]

The results tell me to think twice about Golden.

Even in redraft, when factoring in price, I really like Egbuka. He seems the most ready of the rookie WRs. Evans isn't getting any younger. And Godwin is coming off a major injury.

Pros: 1st round pick, elite speed, excellent hands, can win in every area of the field, early declare

Cons: Crowded pass game, doesn’t play as fast as he tested, a little undersized and really didn’t come on at Texas until November.

That’s who I voted for. Mike Evans isn’t getting any younger & Godwin coming off a devastating injury. Egbuka was my favorite WR in this draft.

Yeah, this is a tough one. Two year window, I take McMillan. Four year window I like Egbuka as well as long as you can wait on him.

You won’t have to wait that long for Egbuka.

More and more on the boards I feel like I need a "fingers crossed" react emoji haha. Not bc I don't agree with you. Moreso I'm just so high on Egbuka, since the draft I've been trying hard to temper my expectations. At this point I've probably swung too far in the other directions and have convinced myself he won't even see a 50% snap share this season. Hard to ignore the glowing camp reports though; especially when they are largely confirming a lot of the intangibles I believed pre-draft that are harder to evaluate from college tape. Football knowledge, work ethic, motivation, personality, etc.
