I said it before but if Javonte goes in the 2nd (same round as Najee and Etienne likely) to a decent enough landing spot I don't think I can keep him out of T1
Can't argue with you here. I like Javonte a fair amount. I'm just wary of players we need some sort of argument/narrative (whether that be draft capital/landing spot) for moving up into Tier 1 vs. players we've had as studs without any of that narrative worked in.
I take more stock into draft capital than pre-draft ranking. A player who falls in the actual draft should see their FF ranking drop as well. Players who go higher than expected should rise.
Maybe, maybe not. Of course a dramatic fall in the draft for a highly touted prospect is worrisome, but we've seen fantasy studs either fall in the NFL draft or land in undesirable landing spots that led them to (wrongly) fall in rookie drafts. DK and AJB are recent prime examples. We've also seen the opposite, where players like N'Keal Harry and Soni Michel (plenty of 1st/2nd round WRs to add here as well) were drafted highly in the NFL draft and didn't pan out. These aren't the necessarily the best examples (in terms of the tier discussion) to compare with Javonte and how his draft stock pre/post combine and NFL draft will change, but demonstrate how the NFL scouts and GMs aren't necessarily getting these things right either.
I'm not arguing that draft capital doesn't matter, because for the most part it clearly does, but that I'd rather buy into a player we have to make arguments
against being in the top tier than a player we have to make arguments
for being in the top tier.
