How high to draft Rookie QBs

[Prison_Mike]

Hey y'all

(I'm fairly new to dynasty)

& I'm curious how high is too high to draft rookie QB's?
Where do they usually fall in rookie draft?

More specifically, I think I need to address my QB situation (team in signature) and I'm very interested in Haskins who just declared.
I own the 1.08, 2.04, and 3.08 in this year's Rookie draft.

Would 1.08 be too much of a reach? Would he likely be gone at 2.04?

Any advice is welcome and appreciated - including whether I should spend that pick on another position or BPA

Personally, I don't think you need to address your QB situation at all. 1.08 is way too early to take a rookie QB in 1 QB leagues. We're a long way away from gaging rookie values, but my impression so far is that 2.04 is also too early. He might not be around at 3.08, but I wouldn't worry about that because your QB situation isn't bad at all. I got Baker Mayfield last year at 3.07 and Haskins isn't on his level IMO.

Damn. Baker at 3.07? I must be really overvaluing then because I agree that Haskins isn't on the same level.
Good to know, thanks!

Focus on RB depth then you think?

New leagues/players definitely will start out overvaluing QBs. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy though, because if everybody is reading high on QBs vs their real value then you kinda have to pay high to get the ones you want.

But for now, I think you are dandy. I would probably lose Rudolf and Dalton and beef up your skill positions depth. There should be guys out there in a league with relatively shallow rosters like yours

Edit: I see you have 4QBs, 2Def, 2K. “Normal” with your starting lineup requirements would be to roster 2, 1, and 1. And 2 or 3 TEs.

I dont think you need Haskins, but to answer your question he will probably be a mid 3rd in 12 team 1qb rookie drafts. If you really want him trade down from 2.04 or trade up from 3.08.
I dont think Haskins is that good, but I would be intrigued by a Giant landing spot

I don't think that is the norm. My guess is that Baker went somewhere in the 2nd in most 1 QB leagues. I try not to target anything specific. I always try to take the best player available. There are all kinds of rookie draft rankings available. I usually start there and develop my own list.

[Goddard]

I'd wait till the 3.08. If he's gone by then, then oh well. I wouldn't spend the 2.04 on a QB. I also agree that you don't need QB help. You already have too many as it is in a 1 QB league.

True, I was assuming an NY landing spot. I would be significantly less interested otherwise

In our 1 QB 12 team PPR league last year craziness happened. Darnold at 1:02, Rosen at 1:07, Baker at 2:06. I couldn't believe it. It didn't make any sense. I do agree with Briank, in rookie drafts I always try to draft best player available no matter what my needs are, then trade for needs if need be. I picked Flacco off of waivers last year while Winston served his suspension, then dropped Flacco for Allan once he was dropped. There is always someone on waivers in our 12 team league at QB.

Yeah, 2 of them will probably be cut. Roster size is expanded right now. Will likely only have Trubisky & Ben

this pretty much ^^^ although with this years qb class 3:8 may be a reach.

Most on here will tell you not to draft rookie QB's until late in the 2nd, or somewhere in the third round in start 1QB formats. However, it's important to know your league and how the other owners tend to run their squads. For example, the 2018 QB's went as follows in my 14-teamer: 1.05 - Rosen, 1.10 - Mayfield, 1.11 - Jackson (me), 2.01 - Darnold, 2.02 - Allen.

So as you can see, if you waited too long, you'd not have landed one of the coveted QB's in the class. It's like this often in this league, as everyone wants to land the next elite level passer. Mahomes went around 1.08 in 2017. "Right" or "Wrong" that's just how this league tends to operate.

I'm not advocating using your 1.08 or 2.04 on Haskins if he's there. I don't think your QB situation is that dire, and I'm not sold that this is the year to reach for a QB early. However, I am advising to start tracking the tendencies of the people you're competing against in order to better plan your draft board. If you have an idea of how your competition will draft, it allows you to maximize the value of your picks.

Well said. i think I'll hold until 3.08, if he's there - I'll take him.
I'll watch what others in the league do and reevaluate for the 2020 class which is supposed to be much better anyway

[clarion contrarion]

1 other point that I should have made is in a 12 team league there is no way in hell I roster 2 kickers and 2 defenses with the lone exception being a league like one I am in where a doofus manager is holding 6 defenses and has now for more than 2 full seasons .

I would much rather have a teams 3rd or even 4th rb or a young wr flyer - damian williams was an rb 3 on the chiefs 2 months ago roughly gus edwards was a rb 4 on the ravens 10 weeks ago there are many other examples over the past few seasons ! charchandrick west in like 2015 or 2016 then ware and jamaal charles go down and he was a starter and helped teams .

Agreed. A QB has to be pretty exceptional to be drafted in the 2nd round in a 12 team league imo.
I might take a QB in the 3rd but I really doubt it unless a QB I really wanted fell to me
