GEDL Rookie Draft 2022

Postby MARKinMI » Tue Apr 12, 2022 12:33 am

We're Baaack...

I'm posting this for tradition's sake. I don't think I've been on the forum since this time last year but in the past, I've always been asked to post this. We've been drafting rookies two weeks before the NFL draft for over a decade now. This is a 14 team, 1QB, flex-heavy, non-IDP league full of dynasty veterans. This is a money league, not massive stakes or anything but It's not a freebie league so the moves matter. People don't tend to get cute like they do in rookie mocks. I'm only posting this because it has actually been very popular in the past. Historically I've filled most of my openings in the league from posters in these draft threads over the years. Before somebody says "Why should I care about your league", don't... Our league isn't the point. We don't need the attention but we've found that people really like following where these guys go in a real rookie draft. We were one of the first leagues to draft early and it's garnered us a decent following. I know it's spawned some copycat leagues so the idea isn't as unique as it used to be but this is still the OG :). But this isn't about my league it's about the rookies and we go deep, 98 picks deep which is deeper than MFL's initial rookie pool.

If you'd like to follow the draft which starts Saturday, April 16th at 1 pm et you can do so here: https://www68.myfantasyleague.com/2022/ ... 17349&O=17

I always link the previous year's draft in the OP. If you'd like to jump down that rabbit hole you can start here and work your way back through previous seasons:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=214344&hilit=gedl+2021

Feel free to share any thoughts you may have with us as everything unfolds. All we ask is that you not discuss players here until they've been drafted.

EDIT: We are now starting Friday, April 15, at 1 pm et instead of saturday.

I can 100% guess who is going 1.02. I think I know who is going 1.01, but I wouldnt be surprised if the player I think is 1.01 ends up going 1.03.

I believe this is a start 1 QB league. If that is true the 1.01 should be a no brainer.
