thats the highest I’ve seen Skyy go, by about 4 or 5 spots, honestly. 
It’s nice to see a rookie draft with the free agents mixed in there as well. Is this an FFPC league? Those available vets (Lazard, Woods, Palmer, Hardman, etc) look similar to some of the players that just didn’t make the Keeper cut in FFPC’s Keep 16 format. 
 

 
Did I just read a rookie draft where Moore was the first WR off the board and a team defense went ahead of all QBs except Pickett?

Alec pierce 3.10. Wow

 
Alec pierce 3.10. Wow
White at 4.04 is insane. I literally had the next pick and was going to grab him but one of my leaguemates traded for 4.04 and took him. 
 

I had 3.04, 4.03, 4.05, 4.06 and 5.03. But I traded 3.04 OTC for a 2023 2nd.

I largely pivoted off this draft. I have 7 2023 1sts and 4 2nds.

I haven't watched a ton of Breece Hall but from watching the process over the last few months, it just feels like he's getting overdrafted from the hype of being the focus point of an otherwise mundane class.  2.01 in a superflex TEP startup seems crazy.

Yeah especially with no other rookies going until the 5th, and KW3 in the 7th

 
1st round PPR SF dynasty:

1.01 - Hall

1.02 Olave

1.03 - Walker 

1.04 - London

1.05 - Wilson

1.06 - J.Williams

1.07  - Burks

1.08 - Pickett 

1.09 - C.Watson

1.10 - Riddler

1.11 - Sky Moore

1.12 - Dotson 

2.01 - James Cook 

Cool feels like a value. 

 
Craziest rookie draft I've been in so far (and this is the 12th I've had) 12 teams, we start 1qb, 2rb, 3wr, 1te, 1 reg flex. 

1.1 Hall

1.2 London

1.3 Walker

1.4 Wilson 

Okay get ready for  :eek:

1.5 Cook

1.6 Olave 

1.7 Pierce 

1.8 Spiller

I'm not sure why everyone is surprised by RBs getting drafted high in standard leagues.  That's what's going to happen in my draft in August.  You can always find a WR.
We draft in late August.  Hoping to have some of this happen in my draft.  James Cook will definitely go top 10.  If guys like Zamir White, Dameon Pierce, etc can sneak into the 1st--awesome.

Z.White and D.Pierce could very well have top 5 value next year, so I'll be happy to grab one at 1.12 this year.

Ya'll got any more of them rookie drafts to post?   Still trying to get somewhat of a consensus ranking on the first round WRs - are we starting to see any trends emerge or is it still "however you rank them personally is as good a guess as any"?

Mizelle July consensus has it ranked like this.

London (2)

Wilson (4)

Burkes (5)

Olave (6)

Williams (7)

Hall and Walker at (1, 3)

My main dynasty slow draft starts Monday.  I'll post an update when we get past the first 7 or 8 picks assuming all of those WR's go in that range.

1 qb, 2 flex non-super. 

1.01 RB BREECE HALL (NYJ),
1.02 WR DRAKE LONDON (ATL),
1.03 WR TREYLON BURKS (TEN),
1.04 RB KENNETH WALKER (Sea) 
1.05 WR GARRETT WILSON (NYJ),
1.06 WR JAMESON WILLIAMS (DET), me
1.07 WR CHRIS OLAVE (NOS),
1.08 WR CHRISTIAN WATSON (GB), 
1.09 WR SKYY MOORE (KC), 
1.10 RB JAMES COOK (BUF), 
1.11 WR GEORGE PICKENS (PIT), 
1.12 WR JAHAN DOTSON (WAS),

2.01 RB RACHAAD WHITE (TB),

I struggled with Olave vs Jameson.  If you have the same dilemma you should go Olave for sure.  :tinfoilhat:

I believe you made the correct decision going with Jameson.  It will cost you in the short term, but I prefer Jameson long term.

 
I've noticed Rachaad White and Isiah Spiller are going close together  I also read a forum where it was a lively debate on which one to select.  I can't remember where I read it or I would post it, so perhaps we can start one here.  Personally I like Spiller better long term and he's about 3 years younger I believe.  Both had a good landing spot, but long term I like the Chargers better than the Bucs after Brady retires.  Spiller has better game tape IMO and played against SEC competition, regardless of his combine performance.

So, I’m going to be wrong sometimes with the approach I’m about to state, but I’m kinda not drafting either and just letting league mates push value down by taking them (and Dameon Pierce to an extent, though I think he’ll provide a sell window). I’ve been burned more times than I can count with these 3rd round and later RBs. Just last year, Michael Carter looked to be in a great situation. Trey Sermon was going to smash. Now Carter has Hall drafted over him and Sermon gets TDP.

Teams spending a third rounder to add a committee guy … just seems they’ll keep throwing darts at the position until they hit a homer. I personally prefer to just take the falling value at WR/TE and try to be patient with RBs. I understand that eventually you have to have them, but they just feel so fickle to me. 

Gun to my head, White had better draft pedigree and team investment, so mild lean there. He’s got a carrying tool, to borrow from baseball prospect parlance, in his receiving ability. Spiller … I thought he was good at A&M, but I’m pretty scared off by his draft season (testing metrics, NFL investment, yada yada yada).

 
I was just offered 1.02, 1.05, 2.3 and a pick swap in 2023 1st for Ceedee Lamb. 

Our draft is the first weekend in August, and I already hold 1.4. I don’t have my 2, however. 

Jordan and Chad on the dynasty podcast discussed a trade of Jefferson for 5 firsts and how ludicrous that was for the guy giving all the picks. Made me wonder if any player other than truly transcendent young talents was worth three firsts or two early firsts and an early 2? To Lamb specifically, I like the player, but I also see this as a chance to potentially sell at a value peak where the hype is rolling before he possibly struggles as the main offensive weapon. 

I’m not planning to compete this year in that league and have a top-heavy team lacking depth in a superflex league starting two QB (with the SF) two RB, three WR, TE, and two additional RWT flex spots. 

Should I take that and run? Ask for a 2023 1 outright instead of the swap (he’s going to be better than my team barring the 90th percentile outcomes)? Hold Lamb and bet he’s a transcendent player?

It's very very tempting because we technically don't know that Lamb is ever going to actually hit the kind of ceiling Jefferson already has. How bad is the pick swap next year going to be? That is the one problem for me with this trade.

He was giving me the option to swap picks should I end up with a later pick than him. While we lottery the top-3 selections, to even be in the lottery he’d have to miss the playoffs, and I’d put his odds at 75% and mine at 20%. Basically has very little value to me and zero value to him … he thought it might be a cherry on top.

That seems like a pretty good deal to me even if the pick swap doesn't end up doing anything for you.  But it all comes down to how you feel about Lamb and the 2022 rookies.  If that was his initial offer, you could always try and stretch for a little more like turning that 2.3 into a 2023 1st or asking to swap your 2023 2nd for a 2023 1st, or a throw in player you like, etc for a better "cherry on top" than the swap.

#10 is about to get Olave for a discount.   Second draft posted recently with Burks top 3....maybe his stock is rising again
