When I started the Bloom 100 over 20 years ago, I was convinced talent was king. "Talent creates opportunity" was my motto in rookie drafts.

Since then, I have weighted early opportunity, quality of opportunity, and quality of organization/offense more and more every year.

DESTINATION MATTERS! A LOT!

With that in mind, here's a quick rundown of how each team can add or destroy a rookie's dynasty value.

Value Add Teams

  • Chicago - In Ben Johnson/Ryan Poles we trust
  • Detroit - In Dan Campbell/Brad Holmes we trust
  • Green Bay - In Matt LaFleur/Brian Gutekunst we trust
  • LA Rams - In McVay/Snead/Demoff we trust
  • LA Chargers - In Harbaugh/Horitz we trust
  • Tampa Bay - In Jason Licht we trust

Give Them the Benefit of the Doubt

  • Buffalo - James Cook more than makes up for Keon Coleman
  • Cincinnati - Joe Burrow is a fantasy alchemist
  • Dallas - Crushing the first round lately 
  • Indianapolis - Most early RB/WR/TE picks have hit
  • Miami - Packers South
  • NY Giants - Schoen's hit rate on QB/RB/WR/TE is actually good
  • Seattle - They know what they are doing

Uncertain/Mixed Bag

Value Loss Teams

  • Arizona - Let's hire the guys who couldn't fix the Jets offense!
  • Cleveland - Who is the quarterback? Does it matter?
  • Denver - Payton finally decided to trade a 1st instead of blowing yet another 2nd-day WR pick
  • NY Jets - Ship of Fools
  • Pittsburgh - Living in the past

With that out of the way, let's run down which teams we should be rooting for to draft at each position to add value to our rookie draft picks:
