The staff at FootballGuys comes together to create consensus staff rookie ranks, a valuable resource for dynasty rookie drafts. The true value in these ranks lies in understanding tiers within the rookie class, allowing managers to move around the draft board and reap value while still selecting from similar options. This resource shows how to properly tier players within the 2022 rookie class.
This article is a nod to the great work Jene Bramel produced for years with FootballGuys.
John Norton created the IDP portion of this board.
NOTES ON THE DRAFT BOARD
-
The first version of this board was created following the 2022 NFL draft and before the information is available from rookie minicamps. The basis for this is the FootballGuys staff rankings, discussion on social media, and draft capital.
-
This is a living document that will be updated as significant movement occurs.
-
The board is a snapshot of the draft as a whole while the positions are broken down into tiers within the groupings.
-
This board was built for Dynasty Rookie Drafts with 12-team, 1QB, PPR, and IDP position-specific requirements.
-
This board may feature more or less than 12 players within a tier. The intention is to display value within rounds.
-
This first copy is based upon the work of the consensus staff ranks provided by Sigmund Bloom, Jason Wood, Clayton Gray, Jeff Haseley, Danny Tuccitto, Ryan Weisse, Andy Hicks, James Brimacombe, Dan Hindery, Adam Wilde, Kevin Coleman, Alfredo Brown, and Zareh Kantzabedian.
-
As information comes in about the rookie class, I will insert my personal analysis and interpretation within the ranks. On running backs, I place an emphasis on early production opportunities. With wide receivers, my emphasis is on ceiling and the ability to grow in a role that demands passing targets.
-
Breakdowns for all positions follow the board.
