Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at The Score.

Great to be back after a couple weeks off. You know, there's only so many times during the year where I can get away guilt-free. Late March into early April, that's one of them. But now we're getting fired up for the NFL draft. Still a couple weeks away from that one. But when the NFL draft happens, that's the real start to the fantasy season, in my opinion. And yes, I know free agency is fun, I know best ball drafts are always happening, but things really shift into another gear once we find out where the rookies are going.

And I've had my dynasty rookie rankings up since January.

I've been updating those along the way.

I also added the rookies to my redraft rankings in February.

And again, I've been updating those ever

since including brand new updates this week to everything and in these updates I put a new

style of tables in there just a little facelift from like the plain ones that we've had for a long

time and in these you can actually sort each category so that's especially helpful for the

trade value charts you know sometimes there's multiple categories like one quarterback or two quarterback

super flex or regular tight end versus tight end premium you get the idea and then we

can also put logos in there now it might even allow me to start identifying

who's rising and falling with some arrows or put something in there to identify

who's injured I'm still tinkering with it but it a lot better. I will keep working on that to improve it as we go. Now, for today's show, I want to go over some of my favorite prospects, you know, some players who I don't think are getting enough love. And we're going to have a couple guests on next week, some specific draft analysts to go over their thoughts, just like we did with Danny Kelly, like a month or so ago. We're going to do the same thing with them next week. But today, I want to take some time to highlight players that stood out to me in this process, you know, from the high-end guys who I think deserve more praise, down to some of the sleepers or the late round rookie draft stashes that you might want to keep in mind. And I will say, I mention this every year, draft capital is a huge data point that we don't have yet. That's going to tell us how the NFL is valuing these guys. That's going to tell you what kind of opportunities they might get to start, especially early on or even just to make the team when we're talking about some late round, you know, seventh round or undrafted free agents.

Do they really have the same kind of shot as those early round guys to make a team?

Probably not.

Are they even going to stick around long enough to get a shot to see the field?

Draft Capital gives us that information or gives us a better idea of how that could all play out.

So landing spots, draft capital, always going to impact my rankings.

And I will put out updated rankings after the draft, of course, pretty much immediately

after the draft and the, you know, 24 hours, 48 hours right after the draft finishes up.
