Andy Richardson: Rookie Draft Recap

My main dynasty league held its annual rookie draft over the weekend, a three-round affair that we do a week after the NFL Draft is complete. It's a PPR league where tight ends get a point and a half per reception. Here's how it went down.   more »

Dynasty Leagues: Rookie draft recap

It was a wide-receiver heavy first three rounds in the actual NFL Draft, and that carried over into the rookie draft in my dynasty league. It's a good year to be looking for wide receivers.   more »

Dynasty Leagues: Mocking the rookie dynasty draft (part 2)

A popular sentiment this year is to trade rookie picks for 2023 selections, when the NFL Draft will supposedly be deeper. That's true at quarterback, and maybe makes extra sense in Superflex leagues, but I don't think 2022 is that bad at running back and receiver.   more »

Andy Richardson: Rookie draft recap

My main dynasty league held its annual rookie draft over the weekend. We always do it one week after the NFL Draft, knowing where all the rookies ended up, but without knowing how they're fitting in. I mocked it on the site a week ago, and what struck me was how few surprises there were.   more »

Andy Richardson: Rookie Draft Recap

So my dynasty league held its annual rookie draft over the weekend. We always do it one week after the actual draft. Usually there have been some minicamps taking place to help with initial evaluations and team usage, but this year we've only got the actual draft and what teams said the next day. If we held our draft a month from now, it would probably have been the same.   more »

Andy Richardson: Mocking the dynasty rookie draft

My dynasty league holds its annual rookie draft the weekend after the actual NFL Draft. It's a three-round affair in which you can also select unrostered veterans (e.g. Rob Gronkowski) if you wish. But the vast majority of players will be rookies, and that's who I'll be talking about while projecting it.   more »

Andy Richardson: Rookie Draft Recap

I'm in a couple of different dynasty leagues, but the one I've been in the longest annually holds its rookie draft one week after the NFL Draft. It's a little early -- teams haven't even had rookie minicamps yet -- but that just makes it all the more intriguing. Do we favor predraft rankings, or where guys were actually drafted? Fun to see the initial thoughts on the incoming college prospects.   more »

Andy Richardson: Dynasty rookie draft, one year later

Those in dynasty leagues may already be thinking about their rookie drafts, which for many occur just a week or so after the NFL Draft is complete. Before looking ahead, it's often prudent to take a quick look back, and learn from the mistakes of yesterday -- so as not to make them again.   more »

Andy Richardson: Rookie draft recap

My main dynasty league had its annual rookie draft over the weekend. It's arguably the best part of the league; it's up there, anyway. Sort of Christmas morning for dynasty leagues, unwrapping the presents you'll enjoy for years to come (or stick behind the couch or put out on the curb a month or two down the road).   more »
