2 of my buddies are first time dynasty startup commishss and they read about doing separate rookie and veteran drafts for the startup.
They are recommending that 1.01 Vet Draft gets rookie pick 1.12
And Vet Pick 1.12 gets rookie pick 1.01
Rookie and vet draft would snake.
I think this a very dangerous idea to give the owner of picks 1.12-1.13 in the Vet Draft a Saquan Barkley copy as well.
That basically guarantees 1 team. 3 of the top 13 startup ADP picks.
Thoughts?
Is a separate startup draft for vets and rookies really a bad idea with Barkley?
Re: Is a separate startup draft for vets and rookies really a bad idea with Barkley?
No reason at all to have two drafts in a start up. Waste of energy and time and it does give one owner an advantage needlessly.
The Clock is Running and there are no Timeouts
Re: Is a separate startup draft for vets and rookies really a bad idea with Barkley?
If you want to have separate drafts, draft pick positions in the regular draft.
1.01 Gurley
1.02 Beckham
1.03 Hopkins
1.04 rookie pick position 1
1.05 AB
Etc...

Re: Is a separate startup draft for vets and rookies really a bad idea with Barkley?
This is a great way to do it. Reversing vet pick position is always a terrible plan, because the values of the picks don't scale the same.
I particularly like this way because it let's you have two drafts, which is obviously twice as much fun as one.
Re: Is a separate startup draft for vets and rookies really a bad idea with Barkley?
Works fine in auction drafts, not in snake drafts.
As said either have one draft with rookies and vets or be able to draft rookie draft pick slots

Re: Is a separate startup draft for vets and rookies really a bad idea with Barkley?
I do not want to do separate drafts and I know we have a couple newb dynasty owners who won’t wrap their mind around the drafting of rookie slot picks well enoigh but I like that option so much better.
Thanks for recommending it.

Re: Is a separate startup draft for vets and rookies really a bad idea with Barkley?
Piling on. However it's easier to just do one startup draft.
Also, it doesn't matter if Barkley is there or not, you should never flip position for rookie drafts

Re: Is a separate startup draft for vets and rookies really a bad idea with Barkley?
They are all NFL players, playing this year, qualified to be on rosters this year, who are all free agents to a new league. Why on Earth would they be separated into to distinct draft pools?
Have to be added or use draft slots as proxies.

Re: Is a separate startup draft for vets and rookies really a bad idea with Barkley?
Personally I think that post NFL draft you should just have a single fantasy draft with vets and rookies. Prior to NFL draft you can do 2 drafts where the vet draft you can opt to select rookie draft picks

Re: Is a separate startup draft for vets and rookies really a bad idea with Barkley?
What did people regret most about separate drafts? Any loaded unfair teams as a result?
I’m looking for any ammo to talk my commishes down from the separate drafts and into the combined draft.

Re: Is a separate startup draft for vets and rookies really a bad idea with Barkley?
I would not join a startup that used this approach.
Re: Is a separate startup draft for vets and rookies really a bad idea with Barkley?
The 12 spot gets the 12th and 13th best overall player plus Barkley, who is already valued being top 10 himself
Even if not a Barley 1.1 year, there would still be a fist fight to get as late into the vet draft as you can, as the rookie boost of an early rookie over a late 1st rookie is drastically more than a late 1st startup pick vs early first startup pick.
Many people consider the 1.1 in a startup to be the worst position to draft from as sure you get your guy, but there's 4-6 players very close at the tippy top and then you don't get to pick again until the 24th pick. Yuck. Add to that your rookie is the 1.12? That's not fair at all

Re: Is a separate startup draft for vets and rookies really a bad idea with Barkley?
Agree this is the only way to go. This is how we did it in a recent start up league and it worked perfectly. Course that was before the NFL draft, if we held the start up draft now we would probably just include rookies.
