Rookie picks and your thought process (1 Viewer)

On Reddit I saw an awesome post that detailed the 2015 and 2016 rookie draft picks for one owner in a dynasty draft.  He went through who he was targeting, who he considered and ultimately who he picked and why.  He went into detail on each rookie pick.  I'd love to see posts on this.  I will post mine but it won't be that interesting as I've traded most of my picks the last several years.  Please share yours.

2017-I traded out of picks 1.5, 2.2, and 2.5.  I was a huge believer in.....the shame.....Knile Davis and traded a  1st rounder I fully expected to be around the last pick in a 14 team league for him a couple years previous to this.  By far my worst trade ever.  I traded the 2.2 for Laquan Treadwell . The 2.5 was traded in a deal I don't remember.

so this year I only had 3.5.   I was targeting any of the 1st round qbs.  I had a huge need there.  I considered Gerald Everettt but ultimately took Chad Williams WR Arizona.  He was the last skill position guy that I believed in.  I felt that he could learn for the first year and then step into a good offensive role.  So far it doesn't looke like it will happen but the logic still seems solid.    I'll post the other years below.  Please post yours

 
In 2016 I also traded away almost all picks. (Probably why I have hoarded 4 in 2018).  I traded my 3.11 for Devin Smith before yet another injury.  I traded my 2.5 plus an acquired first plus parts for Sammy Watkins.  I traded three 3rds for 2.5 before shipping it off.  

In 2016 the only pick I kept was 3.6.  I was targeting Braxton Miller, considered Alex Collins but happily took Kenyan Drake.  I was excited to take a third round rb in the 3rd.  I hoped that he would at least become a starting ppr rb.  Another miss.  These last three years have not been kind to me.

 
In 2015 I Originally targeted D Parker but then decided J Winston should be my guy so traded back.

1.11 targeting J Winston, considering only him and taking him.  He was worth the pick even in a 1 QB league.  

2.2 I targeted Marietta but he went the pick ahead of me.  I considered David Johnson as he went to my wife's alma matter and I thought he would be a decent ppr guy but I took Phillip Dorset as the NFL guys know more than we do.  This was a huge miss.  I ended up trading but Winston, Dorsett, and most of my picks the next couple years for Gronk and Bree's to capture a title ( that didn't work) but I passed on David   Johnson.  Stupid.....

At 3.9 I took Josh Robinson.  I can't remember who I was considering but Terelle Pryor and Stefan Diggs went in the next 4 picks.   Offff.

so looking back I'm not really good at trading for veterans and seem to miss on my picks.  Granted I only had a couple picks in these years but I have blown the picks.  How have you done and who were you considering?
