Which rookies to keep?

Postby Black Adam » Wed Dec 16, 2020 4:32 pm

Jefferson, Higgins, Robinson, Taylor, Aiyuk, and Swift are all staying.

Have we seen enough from Mims, Ruggs, Shenault, Bryant, and/or Kmet to make them worth keeping? Every additional body cut is a compensatory pick at the end of the draft...

I would hold Mims, Ruggs and Shenault as well and see how they pan out. Ruggs and Shenault are both raw but have the skill set and Mims has looked great all things considering on that offense.

I like all on your list from a dynasty perspective. Mims is my top player. Kmet is my second. Everyone else I'm not sold on... Ruggs is prob my 3rd... but I like them all probably more than a compensatory pick which I assume is after rookie #48 or so in next year's class.

I think they have shown enough to be excited. Maybe put some feelers out if there are some shallow teams. See if you can consolidate two for one into some high tier rookies.

Drafted JT, Mims, Higgins, Ruggs, Kmet, and Jefferson. Traded for Swift, Aiyuk. Picked up Viska and Bryant off waivers.

Tried trading for Jeudy and Ceedee, but the owners weren't biting. :cry:

X2. I'd hold them and you can easily add the other two late in your draft if you feel the need.

When you say comp pick, how many rounds do you have?

If your draft is 3+ rounds the only player id consider dropping would be Bryant, but I think I'm much more likely to keep them all.
Team #1: 2nd place
12 team, 1 ppr (1.5 te), 1Q,2R,2W,1T,2F,1D,1K

Q: Kyler, AR
R: JT, CMC, Barkley, chandler
W: Evans, Chase, Mooney, Collins, Dell, Pickens
T: Kelce, Goedert
D: nyj
K: Sanders

Team #2: back to back champion
12 team, 1ppr (1.5 te), 1Q,2R,2W,1T,1SF,1F,1D,1K

Q: R Wilson, Murray, Watson
R: Swift, Walker, gus bus
W: Puka, Metcalf, Dell, Cooper, DJM, K Allen
T: Kelce, Pitts
K: Tucker
D: CLE

Team #3: back to back champion
14 team, SF, 1PPR (2PPR for TE), 1Q,2R,3W,1T,1SF,2F

Q: Mahomes, Rodgers, Watson, Heinicke, walker
R: Mostert, walker, a Jones, Wilson, Charb, Z White, McLaughlin, freeman, d Williams, Reynolds,
W: Waddle, A St Brown, K Allen, Cooper, Nuk, Juju

Gotcha.

FWIW, the league is half-dynasty, half-keeper. 40 man rosters, up to 33 are kept (no picks assigned/penalties). Late August - 7 round draft, both rookies and veteran FAs (used to have separate drafts but that went away).

A compensatory pick takes place in an 8th round.

For reference, I took Lamar Miller, Chase Edmonds, Mims, Goff, Xavier McKinney, Kmet, and some other IDPs in the 2020 draft's 8th round.

I am definitely keeping Mims and probably Shenault too

Next in line would be Kmet and Ruggs but I can see passing on keeping them

I'm keeping all then. No idea why mims was available there.

Most of the folks in the league do their research/drafting like a redraft league, so a lot of non-blue chip rookies go slightly under the radar (like Claypool).
