GEDL Rookie Draft 2021

Postby MARKinMI » Fri Apr 16, 2021 5:10 pm

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 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 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 17th at 12 pm et you can do so here: https://www68.myfantasyleague.com/2021/ ... 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:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=199239&hilit=gedl+2020

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.

Was wondering when this would pop up. Always one of the more enjoyable threads of the off-season (imo). :)

I love living vicariously through your draft. I'll be hitting my refresh button often. Hopefully no more Hakeem Butler type of players at 1.1, lol.

I've grown to love this post and thread. It's become one of my favorite posts of the year, and I didn't used to feel the way.

Thanks for posting Mark. GL in the draft!

EDIT: Btw, Burlington Bucks? It has the same logo as the Vermont Bucks that used to exist up here in Burlington Vermont. I assume that's how that team got it's name & logo. I don't see a lot of football-related stuff from Vermont. Very cool!

love this! Thanks for posting this, Mark—I look forward to it every year and it will always be synonymous with the DLF forum for me.

I think this year will be particularly interesting given the shortened college season, combine/pro day changes and less available information for evaluation. can’t wait to see how this shakes out when stacked on top of the built in variability of the april draft!

Looking forward to this! We're doing our Early Bird Special draft as we speak, which was inspired by this league!

We're underway - it is interesting to contrast this one with the DLF EBS because that one is 16 team SF while this one is 14 team 1 QB, but 14 teams still puts a bit of a value on QBs (sometimes). Either way it is nice to remember that this year especially SF boards could look a lot differently than 1 QB boards.
