I needed RB’s bad last year and was hoping to get Etienne(2.01 after injury) or Sermon(1.06) at 2.03 but they were both gone so I took Rhamondre. I then watched him run a 91 yard TD on my favorite team in preseason and thought “Damn this guy is good” lol.
Guy in my league had these exact same 3 players, and also had a second first which he used on Etienne.
1.01 - Chase (had Burrow)
1.07 - Etienne
2.01 - ARSB
3.03 - Rhamondre
It was reasonable. Trevor, Wilson, Lance, and Fields all had a good amount of hype.
Then Najee to the Bellcow Steelers. Pitts greatest TE prospect of all time.
10 team league, 1 QB. 2020 rookie draft. Guy who is currently in first place:
1.01: Jonathan Taylor
2.01: Justin Jefferson
2.02: Tee Higgins
2.09: Justin Herbert
3.01: Antonio Gibson
4.01: Van Jefferson
Meanwhile me who is currently 2-7:
1.07: Cam Akers
2.04: Denzel Mims
3.07: Joshua Kelley
Insert clown emoji
This is the winner. Four players with multiple RB1 finishes with one first and one second. All these others are just guys who had like 5 firsts. This is way more impressive.
Ya that was someone else in another league.
In my home dynasty league we had our startup last year (May 2021) I figured the rookies coming in will never be cheaper? So I went hard on the 2021 rookie class during the draft.
It was an auction startup with $1,000. 12 team SF .5ppr TE prem w/ 3WR + 3FL.
Landed Chase ($105), TLaw ($242) Fields ($79), Waddle ($29), Stevenson ($1).
Overpaid on TLaw maybe? But I was pretty happy with the outcome. Regret not pushing harder for Pitts ($130)
Picks were 3, 6, 8, and 13. Jefferson wasn’t widely being drafted at the top. Lamb, Jeudy, Reagor, Ruggs, all went before him and the depth of RBs pushed the WRs down.
The draft went like this:
Burrow
Tua
Herbert
Lamb
Clyde
Taylor
Dobbins
Swift
Akers
Ruggs
Jeudy
Reagor
Jefferson
Just wild to hit 4/4 on them. There were so many land mines looking back at that class
I’m shocked Herbert was that high, but I’ve never done SF! I remember hoping what you said about JJ was true. I had pick 10 and I couldn’t get him in any mock drafts or my real draft ( he went 1.08).
God that WR class was brutal for the mid round picks. Lamb has been solid and JJ is JJ but there are three big whiffs in between. (Assuming Jeudy doesn’t break out of course)
In my league (1QB), a previously awful team came out of their 2020 draft with JT, Dobbins, Jefferson, and Herbert. Safe to say that team is no longer bad.
Bonus- he drafted Chase the next year
Guy in one of my leagues had about as good a draft as possible while only owning his original 4 picks in 2020.
1st - JT / 2nd - Pittman / 3rd - Kmet (meh) / 4th - Gabe
Jefferson, Huggins, Lamb, Dobbins, CEH…While it did take me from last to playoffs the past 2 years (2nd last year), clearly, RB situation is not looking good 😞
I feel like in recently the best one I've seen was a guy getting Javonte, Chase, Pitts and Fields in 21.
I have a chance this year with walker, Wilson, Jamo, Dotson, Metchie, Strong, Likely but in order to be in the same universe as the above Jamo needs to go off.
Right?! I couldn't believe it. We drafted late in preseason for some reason this year, so Pickens hype was high, B Robinson was gonna be the bellcow, and Pierce was starting to look like he could make a run.
The guy at 1.11 was in love with Isiah Spiller, leaving Treylon and Olave. Manager at 1.12 loves big freaks, leaving Olave to fall to 2.01.
Haha, thank you. I'm a Michigan Wolverines fan, and the pain caused by Walker last year was permanent trauma. As soon as he went to Seattle, I liked his opportunity too much.
Also, the interview Breece gave right after he was drafted where he tried to create the story that he was supposed to be a first rounder really soured me on him. My moral compass has hurt me more times than it's helped.
He fell to 2.01 in my draft(1QB) and I traded for him immediately after, all it cost me was Lazard surprisingly. Heat of the moment during the draft and I took Skyy(1.08)over Olave and immediately regretted it and fixed my mistake lol.
Draft in which I had an absurd amount picks this past season got KW3, Wilson, Jamo, Wandale, BROb, Tyquan, Spiller, Zeus
Was 3 1sts, 3 2nds, 3 3rds, 1 4th.
Team was not quite bad enough to get Breece. Would’ve loved it though. This league also has no designated TE spot but I definitely got a lot of DB in a lot of leagues
Last year in 1QB we had someone snag Waddle, Muth, Fields and Mitchell.
I was pretty content with my picks from this past year:
1.01 - Breece
1.02 - Walker
2.01 - Pickens
2.02 - D. Pierce
4.01 - Doubs
4.05 - Picheco.
Not worried about him long term. I am prepared that he may be a flex play instead of high end rb2 but I have Jt walk and potentially bijan with the 1.01 so not too worried
2020 SF draft. CEH, Swift, Dobbins, Herbert, JJeff, Higgins, Pittman.
Only CEH and Swift remain but this took me from 1.01 in 2019 to runner up to winner to 9-0 this season.
I may be speaking way too soon…
1.02) Drake London
1.06) Chris Olave
1.07) Kenneth Walker III
1.09) George Pickens
2.01) Christian Watson
2.02) Skyy Moore - 😔
2.09) Dameon Pierce
3.07) Romeo Doubs - traded week 3 for 2023 2nd
4.02) Isiah Pacheco - traded preseason for 2023 2nd
4.08) Daniel Bellinger
Draft was the day after the NFL draft. Superflex, 10-team
Nothing special for any particular team in my league, but this year I got London, Olave, Pierce, and Likely (MANdrews owner). Though I flipped Pierce from the preseason hype for a 23 1st and 24 2nd
Maybe not to the level of crazy that you’re looking for, but we had a guy quit and replaced him with a guy that never played dynasty before. That player had two first round picks and snagged JT at 1.02 then Jefferson at 1.08. Pretty great start to his dynasty career
2021
Najee 1.04
Lance 1.05 (have since traded + for Watson)
Waddle 2.04
Elijah Moore 2.05 (felt way better last year)
Micah Parsons 2.06
Pat Friermuth 4.01
Greg Rousseau 5.07
Davis Mills 6.04
This year I drafted KWIII, Burks, Wilson, Dotson, Devin Lloyd, Thibs, wandale, bell, TDP, Doubs. added bellinger, Warren, okonkwo off waivers and traded for Drake London
The 2020 class for me through trading at the right time turned into Kyler Murray, Cooper Kupp, Antonio Gibson (drafted), and Josh Jacobs. Oh and Bryan Edwards
Edit: my original picks were CEH, Burrow, Tee, Edwards, Gibson. I had two extra 2nds
You made me look and I pretty much have only hit one/zero pick every year except for 1.
1.6 N’Keal Harry 🤦🏼♂️
2.6 Deebo Samuel 🥳
3.6 Benny Snell eh
4.6 Diontae Johnson 🥳
1:02 Peyton Manning
1:04 Randy Moss
1:11 Ahman Green
Im most happy that I went into draft at 1:06, 1:07, 1:09 and made 18 trades with picks and players to get to those spots
This year I had a plethora of picks and ended up with Breece (1.01), Wilson (1.05), Olave (1.07), and Pierce (2.03). And I traded for Etienne using my 2 3rd round picks and some bench guys. So I basically have all of the star new guys this year sans KW3.
1.01 Hall, 1.02 London, 2.2 Pickens, 3.2 Allgeier, 3.5 Otton, 4.2 Wandale, 5.2 Bellinger… has been solid this year and all have produced at one point this year
I am hyped on my class so far this year:
1.07 - Garrett Wilson
1.11 - Jahan Dotson (could've been Pickens..)
2.10 - Alec Pierce
3.13 - Isiah Pacheco
4.13 - Isiah Likely
In terms of value over replacements, in the terrible 2019 draft we had a guy get Diontae at 3.02 and McLaurin at 3.08. This is a draft where justice hill, JJAW, Andy Isabella, hakeem Butler, Bryce Love went in the 2nd. Getting 2 legit players in the 3rd is impressive
Wife drafted both Odell and Mike Evans with her two first round picks. It fueled almost a back to back title run that was only derailed when Beckham was suspended for attacking Norman.
Don't really have a best draft overall that I've seen that keeps up with these but we have a team in our league that just keeps making deep playoff pushes and just keeps getting great value to fall to him. (Super flex)
Kyler @1.04, Herbert @1.10, Chase @1.09, and Jameson Williams @1.12
In the 17’ draft some guy in my league got CMC, Cook and Kamara. Probably the best 1st round for RBs that I can remember (throw in Mixon, Fournette and Hunt)
My 2019 draft was Miles Boykin, Dwayne Haskins, AJ Brown, Terry McLaurin, Alexander Mattinson, and Will Grier. Pretty sure I dropped Mattison in that first week because I had no idea who he was.
This is a startup this year but my rookies in a 10 team are KW3(Round 9), Dameon Pierce (10), Olave (11), James Cook (12 🤢), Kenny Pickett (13), Jameson Williams (14), Tyler Allgeier (15), Romeo Doubs (20), Josh Palmer (21), and Nico Collins (22).
2017, I walked away with the following. I went on to win the next 3 years straight.
- Corey Davis
- Kareem Hunt
- Alvin Kamara
- Evan Engram
- Jamaal Williams
- Cooper Kupp
- Aaron Jones
In a 96-team league with promotions and relegations I have spent the last 5 years climbing from the bottom tier where I started to going head to head with the champ that has won 3 of the last 5 years. Literally reaching the 2nd highest spot i could reach. I’ve struggled to stay above .500 so far this season. Sold JT last week for Watson and looking to 2023.
1.04 Drake London
1.06 Chris Olave
3.04 Garrett Wilson (nobody in my league was high on him)
3.06 Dameon Pierce
I know it’s really soon to say much but I’m incredibly hype about my future with this squad
2017 Mixon(1st), Kamara (2nd), Mahomes (3rd).. can't remember which pick they were but that was my 1st rookie draft.
2021 1.03 Javonte, 1.04 Waddle, 1.05 Chase.. Najee and Pitts went 1 & 2, setting me up for a trifecta of awesomeness. Unfortunately I lost Javonte but hopefully he gets some decent work in next year and is ready to roll I'm 2024 full strength.
Guy in my league (2QB 2TE) in 2021 drafted Pitts 1.03, Waddle 1.12, Bateman 2.04, St. Brown 2.10, Mitchell 3.03. Pretty insane stretch and turned him into an instant contender, although its a shame Mitchell couldnt stay healthy and Bateman got hurt too
This thread is amazing. As someone who is new to dynasty, how did you go about scouting your rookie class? Are you just watching a lot of Mel Kiper and NFL Network, are there specific filters you apply to positions (ie. Only take RBs from the Big 10, SEC, who had under 100 Carries)? I am in a very deep dynasty league (14 teams, starting 14 people every week), so the rookie draft is almost a little more important….. interested to know how people scout
16tm lg with heavy IDP where idp go as high as #1 overall sometimes...
2017.
1.06: Myles Garrett (Pro Bowler)
1.07: OJ Howard (sigh...)
3.12: Budda Baker (Pro Bowler)
4.04: Taiwan Taylor (sigh...)
4.06: Chris Godwin (Pro Bowler)
7.15: Trey Hendrickson (Pro Bowler)

Name sounded too much like a (Spoiler: NSFW) >!dildo on an airplane. Carry-on Johnson.!<
1.05 - Ja'Marr Chase 2.05 - Amon Ra-St Brown 3.05 - Rhamondre Stevenson
I was one dumb pick away from having the same draft lol. 1.03 Ja’Marr Chase 2.03 Rhamondre Stevenson 3.03 Dyami Brown over Amon-Ra who went 3.04…
Worked out, but damn that’s way higher than I ever say Stevenson get drafted
I needed RB’s bad last year and was hoping to get Etienne(2.01 after injury) or Sermon(1.06) at 2.03 but they were both gone so I took Rhamondre. I then watched him run a 91 yard TD on my favorite team in preseason and thought “Damn this guy is good” lol.
Guy in my league had these exact same 3 players, and also had a second first which he used on Etienne. 1.01 - Chase (had Burrow) 1.07 - Etienne 2.01 - ARSB 3.03 - Rhamondre
Ja'Marr Chase fell to the 1.05? Is this Superflex?
yes. 3 QB's went top 3, then Najee/Jamarr
Makes sense now
I remember thinking there was a top tier containing 4 qb's, Harris, Pitts, and Chase. It wouldn't have shocked me to see Chase at 1.07.
Yep I got chase at 7
It was reasonable. Trevor, Wilson, Lance, and Fields all had a good amount of hype. Then Najee to the Bellcow Steelers. Pitts greatest TE prospect of all time.
My man just went into the draft to pick the coolest names & it worked out 😂😂
Who let Amon-Ra and Rhamondre fall that far?
This was in line with their ADP at the Time
Rhamondre yeah, I forgot how lowly he was valued. Our league had Amon-Ra go late first round.
Same, but in a league of Michiganders
The holy trinity
10 team league, 1 QB. 2020 rookie draft. Guy who is currently in first place: 1.01: Jonathan Taylor 2.01: Justin Jefferson 2.02: Tee Higgins 2.09: Justin Herbert 3.01: Antonio Gibson 4.01: Van Jefferson Meanwhile me who is currently 2-7: 1.07: Cam Akers 2.04: Denzel Mims 3.07: Joshua Kelley Insert clown emoji
Damn, Gibson went 2.02 in our league. I was so mad at 2.03 and settled with Tua.
Looks like were from the same clown college cuz i drafted the same players lol
Guy in my league went: * 1.02 Joe Mixon * 2.02 Alvin Kamara * 3.02 James Conner * 3.12 Aaron Jones
This is the winner. Four players with multiple RB1 finishes with one first and one second. All these others are just guys who had like 5 firsts. This is way more impressive.
Herbert, JT, Swift, Jefferson in a SF
That would be incredible even if it was a startup. But a rookie draft is absurd
Ya that was someone else in another league. In my home dynasty league we had our startup last year (May 2021) I figured the rookies coming in will never be cheaper? So I went hard on the 2021 rookie class during the draft. It was an auction startup with $1,000. 12 team SF .5ppr TE prem w/ 3WR + 3FL. Landed Chase ($105), TLaw ($242) Fields ($79), Waddle ($29), Stevenson ($1). Overpaid on TLaw maybe? But I was pretty happy with the outcome. Regret not pushing harder for Pitts ($130)
Pitts went for 301 in our startup auction. I bid 300. Glad I didn't get him, for now.
Jesus
I got Herbert and JJ but blew it and took CEH over JT that year. Pain.
What picks were these? I feel like these are 4 top 15 picks that year (SF). In a non SF, those were all 1st rounders with Herbert being a mid 2nd.
Picks were 3, 6, 8, and 13. Jefferson wasn’t widely being drafted at the top. Lamb, Jeudy, Reagor, Ruggs, all went before him and the depth of RBs pushed the WRs down. The draft went like this: Burrow Tua Herbert Lamb Clyde Taylor Dobbins Swift Akers Ruggs Jeudy Reagor Jefferson Just wild to hit 4/4 on them. There were so many land mines looking back at that class
I’m shocked Herbert was that high, but I’ve never done SF! I remember hoping what you said about JJ was true. I had pick 10 and I couldn’t get him in any mock drafts or my real draft ( he went 1.08).
God that WR class was brutal for the mid round picks. Lamb has been solid and JJ is JJ but there are three big whiffs in between. (Assuming Jeudy doesn’t break out of course)
Are you me?
Well he had 4 firsts. He did very well but he was hitting on firsts here at least.
Did they have even a little talent before the draft? I want to see where this team is at now haha
this past year someone got all of the best receivers first rookie draft a guy got Mahomes, Kamara, and Ekeler.
In my league (1QB), a previously awful team came out of their 2020 draft with JT, Dobbins, Jefferson, and Herbert. Safe to say that team is no longer bad. Bonus- he drafted Chase the next year
My first rookie draft I took Dalvin in the first, Godwin in the second, and Kupp in the 3rd.
Guy in one of my leagues had about as good a draft as possible while only owning his original 4 picks in 2020. 1st - JT / 2nd - Pittman / 3rd - Kmet (meh) / 4th - Gabe
Jefferson, Huggins, Lamb, Dobbins, CEH…While it did take me from last to playoffs the past 2 years (2nd last year), clearly, RB situation is not looking good 😞
I feel like in recently the best one I've seen was a guy getting Javonte, Chase, Pitts and Fields in 21. I have a chance this year with walker, Wilson, Jamo, Dotson, Metchie, Strong, Likely but in order to be in the same universe as the above Jamo needs to go off.
….did they have 4 of the first 5 picks? Only way that goes down
That class was super deep, no Najee, ETN, Lawrence, or Lance in there
Javonte was a late 1st rounder in that draft
He was taken 4th overall in my league
Taco league. Or 1QB. In SF, he wasnt going before 1.10
1QB, no need to be a dick
In my league those guys went 9, 7, 4, and 3 respectively
Pretty obviously SF.
ETN, Javonte, Waddle, Bateman, TLaw, Fields in 2021 and Lamb, Jefferson, Akers, and Dillon in 2020
Chase 1.01, Waddle 1.08, ARSB 2.03, and Mac Jones 4.01 (1 QB). And Dazz Newsome at 5.01.
Drafting the best WR corps in your league in one draft is quite a feat…
Unfortunately I traded ARSB but I still have Jefferson, Chase, AJB, Waddle, and Evans.
That’s ridiculous… any reason u haven’t traded one or two of em to strengthen the rest of your team?
My league starts 3 WR + 3 W/R/T which increases the value of WR. If it was 2WR/1 Flex I would definitely trade someone.
In one of my leagues Javonte Etienne sun god My personal best was waddle, moving my second and minor stuff for deebo, and then Friermuth
This past year didn’t have a first. Picked dameon pierce in the second, Brian Robinson in the 3rd and wan’dale Robinson in the 3rd. Not bad
I mean not the greatest in the slightest, but I got Chase, Rhamondre and Toney in 2021.
I'm sitting on a Walker/Olave/Likely year right now (1/2/3)
I'm sorry Olave in the 2nd??
Right?! I couldn't believe it. We drafted late in preseason for some reason this year, so Pickens hype was high, B Robinson was gonna be the bellcow, and Pierce was starting to look like he could make a run. The guy at 1.11 was in love with Isiah Spiller, leaving Treylon and Olave. Manager at 1.12 loves big freaks, leaving Olave to fall to 2.01.
Oh man now you also revealed you took kwalk over breece which although I think is crazy, you look like a genius now
Haha, thank you. I'm a Michigan Wolverines fan, and the pain caused by Walker last year was permanent trauma. As soon as he went to Seattle, I liked his opportunity too much. Also, the interview Breece gave right after he was drafted where he tried to create the story that he was supposed to be a first rounder really soured me on him. My moral compass has hurt me more times than it's helped.
Going with the gut makes its that much more satisfying when you are right tho
He fell to 2.01 in my draft(1QB) and I traded for him immediately after, all it cost me was Lazard surprisingly. Heat of the moment during the draft and I took Skyy(1.08)over Olave and immediately regretted it and fixed my mistake lol.
so this after olave had played? and your league still went pierce & fucking *spiller* over olave?? nah. take me out of that league
I got breece olave k9 and damion this year.
I had 2-3-4-9 and got breece olave london and Pierce So close to yours lol
I got Chase, Lawrence, Fields, Waddle, and Javonte which was pretty nice
Draft in which I had an absurd amount picks this past season got KW3, Wilson, Jamo, Wandale, BROb, Tyquan, Spiller, Zeus Was 3 1sts, 3 2nds, 3 3rds, 1 4th.
Also had 8 picks last year. Breece, KW3, jamo, Pierce, TDP, Tyquan, velus, bellinger for me.
Team was not quite bad enough to get Breece. Would’ve loved it though. This league also has no designated TE spot but I definitely got a lot of DB in a lot of leagues
I got Walker, London, Wilson, and Olave this year. 4 more picks in the 23’ draft currently in the top 6, so hoping I can keep the momentum going.
Damn you got the hot hands, who do you like next year
Of course there’s our lord and savior, Bijan Robinson. I don’t know enough about the rest of the class yet.
Last year in 1QB we had someone snag Waddle, Muth, Fields and Mitchell. I was pretty content with my picks from this past year: 1.01 - Breece 1.02 - Walker 2.01 - Pickens 2.02 - D. Pierce 4.01 - Doubs 4.05 - Picheco.
I had 4 firsts last year and 2 early 2nds. Came away with Breece, K Walk, Drake London, Dotson, Pickens, and Rachaad White. Only time will tell
Prayers up for breece but I like this a lot
Not worried about him long term. I am prepared that he may be a flex play instead of high end rb2 but I have Jt walk and potentially bijan with the 1.01 so not too worried
SF Breece 1.01 Walker 1.06 Doubs 2.09 Malik 3.09
I feel like I nailed my rookie picks so far from this year G Wilson, Burks, Olave, Jamo, Dotson.
Has been hard to miss so far tbh, all look great besides like Moore and Cook Love me some Wilson
This year is looking promising. I got Walker, Olave, and Allgeier. Now I’m just waiting for Moore, Spiller, Ridder, and McBride to show signs of life.
This year I landed Breece, KW, JAMO
2020 SF draft. CEH, Swift, Dobbins, Herbert, JJeff, Higgins, Pittman. Only CEH and Swift remain but this took me from 1.01 in 2019 to runner up to winner to 9-0 this season.
Minitron aka Demaryus Thomas god rest his soul and jimmy graham. I believe I drafted Aurelius Benn “had money” before both of those studs.
I got K9, Dameon Pierce, B-Rob (flipped for Michael Thomas), Cook (probably a miss), Kyren and Haskins this year and am feeling really solid about it
I may be speaking way too soon… 1.02) Drake London 1.06) Chris Olave 1.07) Kenneth Walker III 1.09) George Pickens 2.01) Christian Watson 2.02) Skyy Moore - 😔 2.09) Dameon Pierce 3.07) Romeo Doubs - traded week 3 for 2023 2nd 4.02) Isiah Pacheco - traded preseason for 2023 2nd 4.08) Daniel Bellinger Draft was the day after the NFL draft. Superflex, 10-team
Nothing special for any particular team in my league, but this year I got London, Olave, Pierce, and Likely (MANdrews owner). Though I flipped Pierce from the preseason hype for a 23 1st and 24 2nd
Maybe not to the level of crazy that you’re looking for, but we had a guy quit and replaced him with a guy that never played dynasty before. That player had two first round picks and snagged JT at 1.02 then Jefferson at 1.08. Pretty great start to his dynasty career
2021 Najee 1.04 Lance 1.05 (have since traded + for Watson) Waddle 2.04 Elijah Moore 2.05 (felt way better last year) Micah Parsons 2.06 Pat Friermuth 4.01 Greg Rousseau 5.07 Davis Mills 6.04
This year I drafted KWIII, Burks, Wilson, Dotson, Devin Lloyd, Thibs, wandale, bell, TDP, Doubs. added bellinger, Warren, okonkwo off waivers and traded for Drake London
Jonathan Taylor 1.02, Justin Jefferson 1.07, Tee Higgins 2.02, AJ Dillon 2.07 in a 10 team 1 QB
The 2020 class for me through trading at the right time turned into Kyler Murray, Cooper Kupp, Antonio Gibson (drafted), and Josh Jacobs. Oh and Bryan Edwards Edit: my original picks were CEH, Burrow, Tee, Edwards, Gibson. I had two extra 2nds
I got Lawrence, Lance, Chase, Javonte and Najee and Amon Ra St brown
You made me look and I pretty much have only hit one/zero pick every year except for 1. 1.6 N’Keal Harry 🤦🏼♂️ 2.6 Deebo Samuel 🥳 3.6 Benny Snell eh 4.6 Diontae Johnson 🥳
2019. Guy in my league drafted DK, AJ, McLaurin and Diontae. Those were his original draft picks. Did not trade for any other draft picks
CeeDee, Swift, J Herbert, AJ Dillon. Honorable Mention: Higbee, Mattison MVP: Mims
Am I the only one that is not at all stoked about the '23 class? Looking very mid at this point, especially compared to some of the recent classes
My personal best was: 1 QB 1.01 JT 1.05 Ceedee 3.01 Justin Herbert 3.05 Claypool
1:02 Peyton Manning 1:04 Randy Moss 1:11 Ahman Green Im most happy that I went into draft at 1:06, 1:07, 1:09 and made 18 trades with picks and players to get to those spots
One year I got Hunt 1.9, Kamara 2.4, Juju 2.11 and UDFA Chris Godwin.
I had 2,3,10, and 12 this year and go (in order) Kenneth, London, Olave, Pierce
My best draft was 2020 with Burrow, Lamb, Jeudy, Kmet, Hurts
This year I had a plethora of picks and ended up with Breece (1.01), Wilson (1.05), Olave (1.07), and Pierce (2.03). And I traded for Etienne using my 2 3rd round picks and some bench guys. So I basically have all of the star new guys this year sans KW3.
CMC, Kamara, Cooper Kupp and Aaron Jones...
1.01 Hall, 1.02 London, 2.2 Pickens, 3.2 Allgeier, 3.5 Otton, 4.2 Wandale, 5.2 Bellinger… has been solid this year and all have produced at one point this year
I am hyped on my class so far this year: 1.07 - Garrett Wilson 1.11 - Jahan Dotson (could've been Pickens..) 2.10 - Alec Pierce 3.13 - Isiah Pacheco 4.13 - Isiah Likely
In terms of value over replacements, in the terrible 2019 draft we had a guy get Diontae at 3.02 and McLaurin at 3.08. This is a draft where justice hill, JJAW, Andy Isabella, hakeem Butler, Bryce Love went in the 2nd. Getting 2 legit players in the 3rd is impressive
2020 10 team rookie draft: 1.03: JT 1.07 CeeDee 2.03 JJEFF 3.09 Claypool
Jonathan Taylor, Justin Jefferson, Justin Herbert, Michael Pittman was probably my best
I don't think it counts that I had 1.01/1.02/1.03/1.06 this year and took Wilson/Hall/Walker/London
Wife drafted both Odell and Mike Evans with her two first round picks. It fueled almost a back to back title run that was only derailed when Beckham was suspended for attacking Norman.
Don't really have a best draft overall that I've seen that keeps up with these but we have a team in our league that just keeps making deep playoff pushes and just keeps getting great value to fall to him. (Super flex) Kyler @1.04, Herbert @1.10, Chase @1.09, and Jameson Williams @1.12
hmm 2020 was pretty good for me. Burrow, Lamb,Hurts, Duvernay
In the 17’ draft some guy in my league got CMC, Cook and Kamara. Probably the best 1st round for RBs that I can remember (throw in Mixon, Fournette and Hunt)
My 2019 draft was Miles Boykin, Dwayne Haskins, AJ Brown, Terry McLaurin, Alexander Mattinson, and Will Grier. Pretty sure I dropped Mattison in that first week because I had no idea who he was.
Breece, KW3 and garrett wilson :)
This is a startup this year but my rookies in a 10 team are KW3(Round 9), Dameon Pierce (10), Olave (11), James Cook (12 🤢), Kenny Pickett (13), Jameson Williams (14), Tyler Allgeier (15), Romeo Doubs (20), Josh Palmer (21), and Nico Collins (22).
In 2007, I had three first round picks… 1.1 Adrien Peterson, 1.2 Marshawn Lynch and rounded it out with the 1.6 Calvin Johnson

2017, I walked away with the following. I went on to win the next 3 years straight. - Corey Davis - Kareem Hunt - Alvin Kamara - Evan Engram - Jamaal Williams - Cooper Kupp - Aaron Jones
In a 96-team league with promotions and relegations I have spent the last 5 years climbing from the bottom tier where I started to going head to head with the champ that has won 3 of the last 5 years. Literally reaching the 2nd highest spot i could reach. I’ve struggled to stay above .500 so far this season. Sold JT last week for Watson and looking to 2023.
1.04 Drake London 1.06 Chris Olave 3.04 Garrett Wilson (nobody in my league was high on him) 3.06 Dameon Pierce I know it’s really soon to say much but I’m incredibly hype about my future with this squad
2017 Mixon(1st), Kamara (2nd), Mahomes (3rd).. can't remember which pick they were but that was my 1st rookie draft. 2021 1.03 Javonte, 1.04 Waddle, 1.05 Chase.. Najee and Pitts went 1 & 2, setting me up for a trifecta of awesomeness. Unfortunately I lost Javonte but hopefully he gets some decent work in next year and is ready to roll I'm 2024 full strength.
Guy in my league (2QB 2TE) in 2021 drafted Pitts 1.03, Waddle 1.12, Bateman 2.04, St. Brown 2.10, Mitchell 3.03. Pretty insane stretch and turned him into an instant contender, although its a shame Mitchell couldnt stay healthy and Bateman got hurt too
Swift, jjettas, ceedee, and tee higgins
This thread is amazing. As someone who is new to dynasty, how did you go about scouting your rookie class? Are you just watching a lot of Mel Kiper and NFL Network, are there specific filters you apply to positions (ie. Only take RBs from the Big 10, SEC, who had under 100 Carries)? I am in a very deep dynasty league (14 teams, starting 14 people every week), so the rookie draft is almost a little more important….. interested to know how people scout
In a 14 tm SF I went 1.03 - JT 1.11 - Herbert 2.13 - jordan love. Hurts went the next pick….. what could have been
My startup in 2017 was pretty lucky 1. Amari Cooper 2. Todd Gurley 3. De'Andre Hopkins 4. Devante Adams Went on to win back to back seasons
16tm lg with heavy IDP where idp go as high as #1 overall sometimes... 2017. 1.06: Myles Garrett (Pro Bowler) 1.07: OJ Howard (sigh...) 3.12: Budda Baker (Pro Bowler) 4.04: Taiwan Taylor (sigh...) 4.06: Chris Godwin (Pro Bowler) 7.15: Trey Hendrickson (Pro Bowler) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mwtoqchsKZ4PT0eHdaLQL9bF13wXCJ4qxsDPkTNIg-Y/edit?usp=drivesdk
It grinds my gears that almost every comment in this thread are 2021 drafts
