Your Best Rookie Draft

[Samhammy]

Hey all, fairly new to dynasty here, wanted to see what some people’s best drafts were going back. Speaking specifically about your draft, not players you were able to acquire with those picks, etc.

Would def like to hear for some of the vets around here about drafts pre 2015.

Cheers!

I tend to trade all my picks during the season because my teams have often picked late. But last year (2017 rookie draft) I made these trades to get in the draft and came out big.

Went into the draft with 0 picks

Traded TY for 1.2.

Traded 1.2 and Crowell for 1.5, 1.10
Traded 1.10 for 1.12, 2.3, 3.4

Drafted
1.5 - Mixon
1.12 - Kamara
2.3 - Foreman
3.4 - Golladay

[Jigga94]

Drafted Penny and RoJo at 1.05 and 1.09

Ohh you said best...

Davis and Mahomes last year I suppose.

I usually trade out of rookie drafts, but this year I drafted Barkley and was able to swoop up Gallup and Hines as well. 2 of 3 ain't bad and I hope Gallup develops.

1.Chris Johnson
2. Matt Forte
3. Jamal Charles
That is the kind of draft that turns your team around.

Lol @ “a few years ago” ... although you’re right that draft seems like generations ago.

[MrUbuto]

Drafted Penny and RoJo at 1.05 and 1.09

I have definitely not given up on Penny like everyone else. he'll be a fine player. Rojo...

Yeah I had to google and see it was 2008.
To answer the OP question I can remember a few of my best picks.
OBJ at pick 1.7
Russell Wilson at pick 3.9
TY Hilton at pick 3.12.

Wow - nice! The number of owners banging their heads is likely causing a rash of concussion visits to the hospital! Btw would love to hear how you got the 1.01 since I would be surprised you earned it with Kamara on your roster.
