Putting the 2021 Rookie Class into Tiers (PPR) (1 Viewer)

There will undoubtedly be ample movement among the rookies, particularly once we know destinations and teams' draft investments.  However, with many of the Pro Day workouts behind us, I thought this might be a good time to discuss our early tiers.

I feel like I should print this list out I like it so much. Really like Amari Rodgers and would have him at least in tier 5. WR so deep this year, though after the draft some of these guys may be buried short time. Great year to have multiple 2nd and even 3rd round picks.

I absolutely agree!  Somebody (or multiple somebodies) from your round two board will be there in the third.  I love the idea of acquiring extra picks, especially if you are looking for WR help.

 
At this point I’m most curious what situation the RBs in tiers 2-4 end up in. That will really define round 2/3 for me. I suppose WR similarly but less so.

Agreed.  Draft capital and draft destination are going to go a long way in determining RB value.

Excellent job, you pretty much nailed it prior to landing spots potentially changing a few things...I am in the minority on this board but I would include Mac Jones in tier 2.

I think for NFL purposes, he is squarely in Tier 2, but a little less for fantasy purposes.  If he becomes a long-term starter for a solid franchise, we may all look back and regret not taking him higher, however.

 
Love the list. I’ve collected several mid 1sts with nothing after until early 4, but this might inspire me to trade down a couple to pick up some more. Thought that last year was deep; this one might actually be deeper.

Those mid-firsts could be incredibly valuable.  I agree this is a deep draft across the board.  The QB position has 5 first-round (NFL Draft) talents, this RB class may not be quite as strong at the top as 2020, but it is a strong class, the WRs rival last year's class, and we have at least two TE prospects better than any from 2020, with Pitts as a potential NFL elite.

 
Great stuff.

There are some really nice looking WRs that have legit questions regarding their size:

Devonta
Waddle
R. Moore
E. Moore
 

That's 4 of the top 7, and the next guy, Toney, did nothing till senior year.  Which is probably an even bigger red flag than being short!  

There's some real bust/disappointment potential with the WRs in 1st round of fantasy drafts this year.

It is the year of the Hobbit!  I agree that is cause for concern.  The odds are strong even in a typical season that they are not all going to hit, and the miss rate this season could be even higher than usual.  All of these WR prospects have this going for them:  they all excel at creating space, plus they have the speed to make a defense pay if you try to crowd them at the line of scrimmage.  It is going to be an exciting ride!

I agree. Mine are 5,7,8,12 so looking to either use 8 and or 12 to move up (plus next year which I think is a weaker class overall) or 12 to move down to later 2 depending on things.

You can hardly go wrong with so many picks, whether you draft with them all or trade one or two.

Or.....alternatively, maybe a lot of fringe vets that many of us like a little bit, get axed for shiny new toys with upside and NFL rosters churn just a little bit more than they usually do. Because this happens every year, but in years with a (seemingly) deep class it should be expected to happen a little more, no?

But I share this concern as well. There are *so* many small and elite WRs in this group. Or being sold as elite. And a couple of them probably will be. But I'm not feeling great about any of them. 

 
PPR centric, FFPC as well but not sure it matters:

Tier 1a:
Chase (I think he will mean more to the WR position than Lawrence will to the QB position, but Lawrence is still the prohibitive 1.01 in SF - but I think Chase will be the most impactful rookie)

Tier 1b:
I put Chase here in SF behind only Lawrence.

Tier 2:
Harris, Etienne, Williams (take your pick based on preference/landing spot but all difference making potential/likelihood at a crucial position we all value highly)
Waddle, Bateman, Marshall
Pitts

ETA I messed up the editing I'll add the rest below

A big giant mess of "I'm going to wait for the NFL draft but here goes:"

Tier 3:
Smith, Moore, Moore, the next 2-3 QBs in SF

Tier 4:
Gainwell, Carter, Jefferson, Chuba
Toney, Wallace

Tier 5:
Hill, Mitchell, Felton, Stevenson
Amon-Ra, Rodgers, Surrat
Jordan

Tier 6:
2 more QBs in SF
Sermon
Niko, Dyami
Friermuth

Somewhere between tier 4-6 here veteran FAs come into play in FFPC drafts. Who am I missing here?

Agreed.  With the influx of a deep rookie class, something has to give.  Either a lot more of the rookies than expected flush out of the league quickly or they surpass and replace a greater share of fringe veterans as teams bolster their rosters with youth.

Well done!  I have never played in a Super Flex league, but it will be interesting to see how high Wilson/Fields/Lance/Jones go.  This is such an exciting class, and with the extra emphasis on QB, that means some fantastic values will be had in the second round of SF drafts, I would think.

 
Putting those top 3 backs in different situations is interesting.  Per PFF, teams that could target RBs:

Steelers
Jets
Dolphins
Cardinals
Texans
Falcons

What happens if Najee goes to the Jets and Etienne to the Texans?  Can you take them over Chase, assuming he goes anywhere halfway decent??

They usually go high in super-flex...if you have a bad QB situation in SF you are in a hole and quite often guys in that spot have to make "bad" trades to get out of that hole...that's why if you don't need a QB in SF but you draft one you can usually cash out on that QB very nicely.

Excellently point.  Draft destination is going to factor heavily in the value of the rookies.  So much of a RB's value occurs during the initial 5 years, so RB value, perhaps more than any other position, relies upon being drafted to a favorable situation.

You know, once the top backs are gone, and people continue to draft situation, I think it's a big mistake.  

Let me back up a little.  If I think all the top RBs are good, Javonte, Travis, Najee, then situation is a great way to break a tie.  What I really don't want is a guy that goes to a train wreck of a team.  I don't wanna use a top 4 pick on a Jets/Texans back.  I just don't.  I'll take Chase with a smile, and pass on a Najee/NYJ combo.  Won't hesitate. 

But the biggest waste of late 1st/entire 2nd round picks are RB that are drafted into "favorable situations".  People are taking 6th round backs, when 3rd round WRs are still there.

Agreed!  We see fantasy GMs do it every season, and you just have to shake your head.  I have no problem with reaching a little for a player based in part on being drafted to a favorable situation, and certainly within tiers, draft destination may determine order (it may even bump a player up or down a tier), but when there are much higher-rated players still on the board, it is nonsensical to reach for a player based on a favorable draft situation.

Opportunity matters, but it does not trump talent.

Thanks, yeah I'm pretty sure at least one of those other QBs and maybe even two of them, will get into that 2nd tier and hopefully push one of the big 3 RBs down. The 2nd round and even the 3rd should be pretty good this year as it was last year.

Those destinations wouldn't stop me. Chase might though. I really haven't decided how much I'm willing to take (another) WR over a top RB when I'm going to need and want a RB more than another WR in almost every league, with a couple exceptions. I'm not above drafting for need when it is a top RB. But I acknowledge that I have Chase in a tier above them. I also don't really like *any* of the other RBs from presumed #4 and up in this class but I'll probably draft a couple of them too. I'm not here to argue the strategy of drafting for need vs BPA, to each their own, but just saying that is where I'm at. IDK as of this moment. A great landing spot for those RBs would make it easier. If Chase is on the board with at least one of those RBs and I'm OTC it will be a hard decision.

Yeah this is the tough spot. I think last year that next group of RBs were maybe just a little bit better, but admittedly I drafted a guy like Vaughn earlier than I should have. Also took Gibson though. Also took those top WRs as well. So a mixed approach I suppose. Vaughn pick was born out of necessity though, but I *did* believe in him and still think he might do something, but he is sort of the recent poster child for what you're talking about. In that one case I'd point out I took Jefferson one pick before.

Vaughn probably falls into this category.  He was overrated by much of the fantasy community, especially in early drafts, last year.  Now, he may be underrated in some dynasty leagues for the same reason he was overrated post-draft 2020:  opportunity.  His opportunities may come, but things also change fast in the NFL.

Sometimes, our roster deficiencies push us to bypass better players at other positions, especially when the talent pool at that position is scarce relative to other positions.  That is not always a bad strategy, depending on the gap in talent.

If you are going to reach this season, it seems that once you get out of the 2nd round, the top talents are pretty well picked clean, and playing opportunity can push a less-talented player over a higher-rated player buried on a roster.  I really like the 3rd round this season, but once you get out of the 2nd round, pretty much all of the players have some sizeable warts.  Playing opportunity becomes a significant factor at that point.

 
Really nice work with the tiers based on where you expect the players to be drafted. I do think its good to anticipate this, as its still the most important metric that I am aware of as far as predicting their success in the NFL and how that translate to fantasy points.

There are certainly some players I need to learn more about but in my opinion the 2021 draft isnt any deeper than any other draft has been, and based on some of the top prospects being Waddle and Bateman and 20+ years of looking at draft classes and comparing them to each other, the WR group is not that great. It is not close to last years WR group in my view. The RB group certainly isnt as deep or as good as the 2020 draft class either.

So why do people think the depth of the 2021 draft class is so good? Yes there are many good QB prospects, in that sense its a very deep draft. I dont think that extends to the other positions however.

I get what you are saying, and it is easy to get blinded by the excitement this time of the year.  It is still early.

I will make my best argument for this class, however . . .

This 2021 draft class has what many are calling a "generational talent" at QB (Trevor Lawrence), a "generational talent" at TE (Kyle Pitts), and an elite talent at WR (Ja'Marr Chase).  Yes, the term "generational talent" is used a bit too frequently, but let's at least agree, all three of these are elite prospects for their positions (all superior to their 2020 counterparts).  While this 2021 RB class is not quite on level with the 2020 class of JT, CEH, Swift, Dobbins, and Akers, it is still a decent class, compared to most classes.  While it only goes 3 deep at the top, rather than last season's 5 deep early RB class, Harris, Etienne and Williams grade out very high.  The 2020 WR class was extraordinarily (even historically) talented and deep, and while it arguably failed to live up to its tremendous hype, it still produced some real gems, and you really cannot rate the class in historical terms yet.  This 2021 WR class is similarly deep, and potentially as talented at the top (I would argue more talented if you include Pitts):  This class of Chase, Waddle, Smith, Bateman, Marshall, and the two Moores grades out nearly as high as Lamb, Jeudy, Jefferson, Ruggs, Reagor, Higgns and Aiyuk, and the 2021 group of Toney, Wallace, St. Brown and Dyami Brown measures up favorably against Pittman, Mims, Shenault and Edwards.  Behind Lawrence at QB, Wilson and Fields grade out as high as the top QBs in the 2020 class.  The top 3 TE prospects in this class grade out higher than any 2020 rookie TE.  

 
Ok we disagree about the quality of the WRs then I think.

The 2020 WR failed to live up to the hype? Many of them did very well, historically well. Comparable in production to the 2014 WR class which was the deepest WR group I have seen prior to 2020.

Fair enough.  I am willing to consider that my view may be distorted by rookie lenses.

I don't think it is fair to grade the 2020 class based on a single season, but yes, the 2020 WR class "arguably failed to live up to its tremendous hype".  That is not to say it was not very good, but I think it is fair to say that half of the 2020 "elite" receiver prospects, Jeudy (52 rec, 856 yards, 3 TDs), Ruggs (26-452-2) and Reagor (31-396-1) largely disappointed, compared to the expectations they came into the league with.

It is still early, and perhaps the 2020 class will ultimately join the ranks of the 2014 class, or, dare I say it, the 1996 class.

Yeah one year is not enough to judge.

The players you mention who failed to live up to expectations each have some reasons for that I think.

Juedy had sub optimal QB play and I think he will perform better in years ahead. Reagor was injured for a good chunk of the season. I am glad I didnt take the prop bet on him exceeding 700 yards which was very tempting to me at the time.

Ruggs I do think was overdrafted and I have doubts about him living up to expectations.

Texans don’t have a 1st or 2nd round pick and probably won’t be able to trade Watson now due to the allegations. Seems unlikely they will draft a RB from the first 2 tiers but who knows what that crazy team is thinking.

It is not close to last years WR group in my view. The RB group certainly isnt as deep or as good as the 2020 draft class either.
