Rookie Draft Results - Live

[Shcritters]

Rookie draft at the bottom.

I've done a lot of trading to position myself for some value picks this year. Came into the draft with the 1.09 and made the following trades:
- Traded 2.12 and 2019 1st for the 1.10
- Traded Moncrief for the 2.02 (I think I won this trade)
- Traded Duke Johnson for the 2.03 (Duke is undervalued in our league, and after my draft didn't need him at RB anymore... see below)

1.01 Barkley
1.02 Penny
1.03 Michel
1.04 RoJo
1.05 DJ Moore
1.06 Kerryon
1.07 Ridley
1.08 Miller
1.09 Guice (me)
1.10 Chubb (me)
1.11 Freeman
1.12 Sutton
2.01 Giseki
2.02 Mayfield
2.03 Kirk

Feedback/thoughts welcome. Will be interesting to see who falls to me with the upcoming picks. Really want one of Sutton, Freeman, Mayfield (need a backup QB)... would be awesome to get 2 of them.

Ya I would be trying like mad to trade up to get Freeman and Sutton haha. Too early for Mayfield in a 1QB league, but he is my QB1 in the draft this year.

Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the completed results.

Well... my dreams were quickly dashed as Freeman and Sutton went the next two picks after I did mine. I obviously wish I would have been able to get them... but I’ll settle with Guice and Chubb at 1.09 and 1.10. If Chubb can get back to what he looked like as a Freshman/Sophomore then he’s the steal of the draft. Same goes for Guice.

I planned on Mayfield all along - think he could be a mix of Brees/Wilson if he hits - and Kirk had three solid years of production in college. Let’s hope he’s more Diggs than Cobb.

Should I have played this differently? Feedback on any of the trades? I ended up giving 2019 1st, 2.12, Duke Johnson, and Donte Moncrief for Chubb, Mayfield, and Kirk. Seems like I came out a little ahead... but obviously depends on if they hit or not.
