And spots where I have 1.02, I found myself receiving a barrage of offers for it, often people packaging multiple 2023 1sts together. I likely wont be accepting any.
I'll add to that, take talent over need. Trade for need.
In general I agree, but all these guys are talented and only a few really stand out. Unless you have advanced scouting skills (which I don't claim to have), a lot of it is just gut instinct.
Prime example of what I am talking about........Rashee Rice.
Absolutely.
I guess it's possible that Rice is really talented and KC saw something in him. Then again, not sure I'm that gung ho on KC's draft record for early round WRs, as evidenced most recently by Skyy Moore.
Dynasty Dominator app does this as well.
What bothered me most was Jayden Reed. He was my WR6 pre-draft. I understand it sounds kinda crazy, I was quietly probably one of the highest on him around. I see Stef Diggs in him. But either way, I was having the happy problem of wondering if I should take him late 2nd or let him drop to late 3rd and taking him there for better value because he wasn't even in most peoples top 40. Now he's getting mocked late 1st.... woof.
I don't do pre-draft rankings anymore as I think doing so unintentionally caused me to put blinders up about a nonzero number of prospects, but a) he was on my radar and b) still can't be justified in the top 5. He's going to get picked a lot earlier than pre-draft would've indicated and I'm all for veering from groupthink, but his pick number should be something north of 5.
Me personally, I don't do rankings anymore. Ever since I saw Bramel's combined board I've copied his approach.
CEH is great! I'm hoping for another batch of RB1 games mixed with 0's in 2023!
Unrelated, love the new avatar
Does Bremel do rankings anymore?
I think you will be OK with London.
I was looking at their chart page with values
keeptradecut.com
I'm not following, but then again I don't absorb much content so that's probably the source of the disconnect. Last year I thought there was a very clear top 7 or 8 depending on what you thought about Pickens then a rather steep tier drop followed by a muddled mess. The one player that probably never belonged in there was Dotson, but aside from him I'm not sure I see much of a difference between what was in there this time last year and what's in there this year. At RB and WR anyway. QB and TE are both substantial improvements though.
I am reminded me of the annual TE is deep this year that's said every August as I write this, but I really like the 2nd tier of TE's too.
This year ain’t that. This looks like a legitimately deep & talented TE class.
Indeed. TEs are FF roulette outside the top 3.
My board certainly looks quite a bit different in my keep 35 dynasty then it does in my keep (up to) 41 with 7 player taxi and keep 40 TE-P - all include IDP. TE acquisition in the former can be done relatively cheaply, but in the deeper formats I think there is room to be both patient and bargain hunt with slow starters.
Me as well!
The only pick in the first few rounds I have now in any league is 1.12 in SF and I agree, picks up to 11 look good. Hopefully someone takes someone I wouldn’t early.
I’ve updated in the drafts topic. The whole 1st round is looking good - and it’s a 16-team SF IDP and no IDP has been taken through 2.03 (pick 19)
If that was 1qb, probably pick 15??
Sounds about right.
Picks 10-20 should offer good value in that format (+++ in start 2 TE)
