Here's my attempt to sort the first two days of the NFL draft from a fantasy lens. Presume .5ppr scoring and partial keeper format, as I'm mirroring the settings from my main league. 14 teams. Start QB/2RB/2WR/TE/Flex/K/D.
This is a rough draft, my first pass so don't eat my lunch
1.1- Josh Jacobs (OAK)- Talent and opportunity meet. 3 down RB from day #1. Surrounding cast is meh but should put up 1300 total yards and 8 TD as a rookie.
1.2 M. Sanders (PHI)- Will split time early but think he takes the job full time in year two. Eagles only locked into Howard for 1 year. Very nice skill set for Pederson's offense. More of a long term play that still carries year one value.
1.3 N. Harry (NE)- Plays and contributes from day one. Smart and fits the mold of a BB player. Tons of targets available in NE. Gordon is unlikely to maintain sobriety. Gronk has retired.
1.4- N. Hardman (KC)- People have every right to ding me here. Going for upside. Perfect fit for KC and can blaze. Playing w/ Mahomes is huge. Recognize upfront that there is high risk here.
1.5 -M. Brown (Bal)- If Jackson can develop, Hollywood has the skills. Might be better suited for TD heavy leagues.
1.6- TJ Hockenson (Det)- Rookie TE do not fare well but he is the perfect fit long term. Has a high ceiling that should see him be a VBD monster two or three years down the road. Betting on talent here.
1.7- DK Metcalf (Sea)- Skill set fits with his team. Seattle is still run heavy but Metcalf will be solid, but see him as needing a year or two to develop.
1.8- D. Henderson (Rams)- Will play a role in the offense. If Gurley's knee balks, huge upside.
1.09- D. Samuel (SF)- Good player entering a good situation. Should be a meaningful contributor early on but don't see a particularly high ceiling.
1.10- K. Murray (AZ)- Running ability should put him in round #1. He's certainly no worse than Josh Allen who put up some great games with his legs in year one. Has a chance to be a legit FF QB #1 over time.
1.11- P. Campbell (Indy)- Playing with luck. Not much competition for targets. Candidate to move up my board.
1.12- JJ Arcega-Whiteside (PHI)- Fits what the Eagles do. Interesting to see what happens with Agholor. Should contribute immediately. Jeffrey not uber elite any longer.
1.13- N. Fant (DEN)- Excellent athlete who should develop. More of a longer term prospect but already poised to play immediately.
