Rookie draft picks in a startup draft
  • jessejandersonjessejanderson
    Posts: 371
    In a dynasty league that's having it's startup draft and rookie draft picks are available as individual choices (1.01, 2.03, etc., rookie draft later this year). What sort of value should I consider these picks to have?

    I.e. when is a good time to start to grabbing rookie picks?
    Bold PPR Predictions (7/17/13):
    Russell Wilson is the #1 QB.
    Chris Johnson is a Top 5 RB.
    Darren Sproles is a Top 10 RB.
    RG3 is not a Top 10 QB.
    EJ Manuel is a Top 10 QB.
    Percy Harvin is a Top 5 WR.

    I'd say sometime in the 3rd for the top 1st round picks. I wouldn't be surprised if someone grabbed the 1.01 in the late 2nd because they're obsessed with Watkins.
    2013 predictions

    -Cobb outscores Harvin in PPR
    -Chris Ivory will be a top 15RB
    -Kenny Britt finishes outside the top 20WRs

    this is one of those "personal preference" things - I go for proven commodity over potential performance most of the time so I'd be more of a 4th - 6th rounder before going rookie. but that's just me.

    Someone grabbed the 1.01 rookie with their 3.01. Plan on waiting awhile still, tons of top-teir talent available.

    WRs: DaRick Rogers, Riley Cooper, Roddy White, Marvin Jones, Danny Amendola, Julian Edelman
    TEs: Coby Fleener, Tim Wright, Charles Clay, Kyle Rudolph

    any qbs left?

     Not big on Sproles, Gore, or DMC.  However Gore could still be a very good play for at least 1 more year possibly.
    Brown/wilson is a toss up going into next year


    Rogers/Cooper/White/Edeman/Amendola/Clay/Rudolph
    QB: Brady, Kaepernick
    RB: McCoy, Miller, Stacy,F. Jackson, Lattimore, R. Jennings, Gerhart, L. Murray
    WR: Cruz, Blackmon, Gordon, Jeffery
    TE: J. Thomas

    Bunch of third-tier QBs still.

    Sam Bradford, Ben Roethlisberger, Brian Hoyer, Geno Smith, Carson Palmer, Alex Smith, Jake Locker, Case Keenum, Josh McCown, Mike Glennon, Terrelle Pryor, Michael Vick

    Would you take all those guys in your ranked list above a mid 2nd round rookie pick?

    I actually would think about Bradford/Clay here to possibly give you a backup qb for bye weeks.

    2.1 wouldn't be horrible I don't think, if its available

    Any other ideas?
    QB: Brady, Kaepernick

    Missed out on Clay, trying to trade up to grab Fleener but no one is biting.

    Sweating these next 4 picks.

    [XXX] Demaryius Thomas will be the #1 scoring WR!(Feb 13th)
    [XXX] Trent Richardson will NOT finish as a Top 10 RB!(June 4th)
    [:(] Rob Housler will be a Top 5 TE in 2013!(July 18th)

    +1 once Minnesota gets a qb and now that norv is on board... look what he did to cameron this past year and gates before that, I think rudolph is a great buy low.

    Hmmm...I know probably no one will agree..but I really think that geno will be a serviceable qb 2 next year after they get some skill around him..trade value at least
    Bold Predictions:
    June 21- Dez Bryant finishes as the #1 WR in 2013.
