With only one quarterback going in the first round, the rookie draft landscape in Superflex leagues is shaping up to be remarkably different this year. It is clear that your Superflex dynasty runs entirely through your options at that position. Add in the fact that quarterbacks have a significantly longer lifespan and peak than other positions. This format places a significantly greater emphasis on the quarterback position, and for an obvious reason: there are only 30 starting quarterbacks, making the replacement-level value incredibly minimal. Today, though, I want to focus specifically on 2QB/Superflex formats. How a rookie draft will shape up depends significantly on the format of your league. Especially if you’re in a rebuilding phase, it is paramount that you hit on your early rookie draft picks, similar to the actual NFL Draft. Sure, you can make trades to acquire young assets, but it’s tough to trade for a prospect considered to be of blue-chip caliber. For those unfamiliar with these types of drafts, this is the time when dynasty teams get to replenish their roster with young talent coming out of the NFL Draft. We have that answer, which allows us to make much more informed decisions in rookie drafts. How the NFL evaluates players ultimately matters the most from a fantasy perspective because players need the opportunity to produce.
On the other hand, a prospect such as James Cook, who was the third running back off the board, will likely move up notably up draft boards. As a result, he will likely see his stock drop significantly. For example, quarterback Malik Willis, who was seen as a lock to be a first-round draft pick, fell to the end of the third round.
The NFL Draft also served another key purpose for fantasy managers - we finally got to attach draft capital and landing spots to the skill position prospects. This was not the year to have an accurate mock draft, which is a good thing because the unpredictability led to an overall more entertaining product. What an exciting NFL Draft! At the top of the draft, we faced so much uncertainty, but we also got extensive trade-ups and even saw multiple wide receivers ( AJ Brown and Marquise Brown) traded for first-round picks.
