Thought this might be helpful for dynasty buyers & sellers. In various forums seems like consensus for current drafts is Etienne is late first/ early second, with solid conjecture that if the worst team is picking first he likely won't pass them at 2.1
But as far as 2022, I'm curious what the SP puts his value at in draft capital. Because essentially he is coming in like a player injured their last year of college. And recency in the NFL shows us for top prospects there is not much of a discount on those players in the NFL or dynasty drafts. Gurley, while a higher rated prospect, is good example of a player pretty much holding their value.
If I'm a contender (which I am in one league) I'd look to buy for a late 22 first. I think that's a great risk. You will never get a shot at that kind of talent in that range. For the buyers, obviously you have to make that move early as they will have to hope that it turns into a higher pick, so there is some risk for both sides.
Also really curious in commentary of perceived value on both sides of market to see if there is any disconnect. I described scenario above where I'd look to buy, but in my other league where I'd be selling, as a contender I would need an asset producing in 2021, I wouldn't care about getting back first value as I see that as an even swap. So I'd speculate you could only buy for people who are super spooked he'll never recover.
