I was looking for more of the results of people's dynasty rookie drafts. Last year the thread had leagues posting before the draft its nice to get a sense for what others are drafting regardless of mfl website adp

 
These will probably start coming in closer to a week before the draft. I really enjoy these threads. Especially comparing the pre and post draft results.

 
One year I would like my dynasty league to do the rookie draft before the NFL draft. I wonder what it would be like to watch the NFL draft rooting for your pick to go to a certain team.

One of my Fav threads as well.

 
I think it's dumb to do it before. I like to draft guys in good systems for what they do. Makes little sense to me to draft a guy before you know where he's playing. After the best 5 or 6 talents guys a system will make all the difference.

While we're certainly in agreement there, I suppose those that do it before want to add an element of "drafting based on pure talent alone".

Please, let's not go down this road again. It gets argued every year. In my case, I'm in around 15 dynasty's yearly and this is the only one that does it. If I was only in one or two leagues it would be different, so I think it highly depends on how many leagues you are in. It would be a drag if they were all exactly the same format IMO.

It's not dumb, it's just that we have such little information compared to what teams have that it makes it difficult. Undisclosed injuries (Chris Polk) or character (positive or negative) is information we can only guess at. It's not something I'd want to do but I can see the fun in it.

 
I think it's cool to do that - sure you don't know what teams will do - but don't even know what PLAYERS will do in the NFL (with any degree of certainty). Like someone said above, you are drafting players based on their talent and what you think they will do in the NFL.

 
I have leagues each team can draft a college player during the rookie draft. I believe it is more interesting. Drafting before NFL draft, probably you can draft one round, after that, just pure guess.

 
It's just like leagues that have college development players - you are selecting picks even earlier. My league did it one year - and it was a lot of fun.

 
I hope that's how goes in most drafts then. More RB's later. I guess I could see Beckham at #3 if he went to NO or NE but I don't see him still being there when they draft.

Who do you think should be the pick at 3?

After Watkins and Evans I think there is still a tier of players very close to those 2 WR in value.

RB Bishop Sankey
WR Marqise Lee
RB Carlos Hyde
WR Odell Beckham Jr.
WR Brandin Cooks
TE Eric Ebron

To me any of the above could be the 3rd pick and maybe Seastrunk should be considered in that tier as well.

Wow Beckham at #3 overall. Not feeling that pick. I don't hate him but that's to early imo.

I have the 1.3 in a 16 team .5 ppr and I've had Beckham pencilled in there for months. I realise there's not much consensus but I hardly see it as controversial?

The problem with this draft is I don't see much of a difference between 1.3 and 1.12.

At WR alone you have about 10 after Watkins/Evans that people think should be 1.3.

Yeah I was thinking Hyde and Sankey were clearly ahead of Beckham but I guess that's not the consensus.

If Beckham goes to Carolina or KC I wouldn't take him at #7 overall. That's just me though. We don't get return yards in my league either though.

agreed.

And the rookie draft posted above looks like chalk so far - no real surprises.

Bloom has him at #3 overall pre-draft and Waldman has him at #2 WR

at this stage the WR's are safer, but after the NFL draft it is a certainty that 2-3 RB's will go in the top half of rookie drafts. They are much more situation dependent but a couple will end up in decent situations. Any rookie RB drafted in the top 3 rounds into a decent situation gets tons of love in dynasty rookie drafts.

Also the dynasty RB landscape is grossly shallow whereas the WR talent is flooded. Supply and Demand will drive any RB with a pulse that has a chance at playing time up the rankings.

 
Through 10 picks so far. All I can say is wow. I'm not criticizing because it's looks like I'm in the minority but that is not how I have my top ten ranked. This year the drafts are going to be all over the place. So many players closely graded that it's anybody's guess who's going to go where.

 
What's your top ten? That looks like a pretty normal draft to me. No surprises. Of course things will change in two weeks.

Agreed - I'm only in one dynasty league, and our rookie draft is after the NFL draft. But every year when this comes up, I am intrigued by how much more interesting it could be to have the rookie draft before the NFL draft -- both from a prospect 'scouting' perspective & from the standpoint of how much more invested you become in watching how the NFL draft plays out. That said, it would stand to reason that a rookie draft that takes place before the NFL draft is subject to a lot more luck than one that takes place after...

Before the draft it's probably

Evans

Matthews

Watkins

Sankey

Hyde

Cooks

Lee

Beckham

Ebron

Mason

Allen Robinson

Hill

I wouldn't draft Beckham if he goes to Carolina or KC but if he went to GB I'd be a lot more optimistic. Manziel is going to bust imo. Allen could go to NO or NE late in the 1st round and he would rise up my board quite a bit too. Same with Hill if he went to TN.

Oops forgot about Cooks.
