Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

0:17.4

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

0:21.0

Appreciate you downloading and listening to the show today. This is always a fun episode

0:24.6

to do after the NFL draft because I know some people like to start their dynasty

0:28.3

rookie drafts this week. So I made sure I got the rookie rankings updated on Sunday.

0:33.2

And then I did a full sweep of the dynasty trade value charts for rookies and for veterans

0:36.9

and for picks, including a new table with the dynasty trade value charts for rookies and for veterans and for

0:37.8

picks, including a new table with the 2025 rookie picks in there. So that's all up over at the

0:43.3

score for you. And I'll have updated 2024 redraft rankings out on Wednesday. But today, I want to

0:49.5

give you my insights on these rookie drafts, go over my rankings, broken down into tiers and let you know

0:55.3

what I'm seeing in some of the drafts I'm in right now and some of the takeaways that I've

0:59.5

seen from just overall ADP the last few days.

1:02.3

And we'll do that for the first two rounds.

1:04.2

So the first 24 picks, I don't have them broken down into actual tiers in the rookie rankings,

but I have the dynasty values next to their name.

1:11.6

So you can pretty easily tell who I'm valuing close to each other and who has a big gap between them and all that sort of stuff.

1:17.6

And I will stress the tiers are really, really important in these drafts because if you're in there and you see, let's say, three players are left in a specific tier, all guys that you'd be happy to get,

1:28.7

then you can move around the board and find edges, right?

1:31.0

Either by moving back and adding picks or players and still getting somebody in that tier,

1:36.4

or you move up and you get the last player in a tier and you maximize value that way,

1:41.7

or at least perceived value, right?

1:43.7

We're making educated projections on what these rookies could be. Nobody's perfect at this stuff. I mean, not even NFL evaluators are perfect at this. But keep the tiers and the values in mind when we're going through all of these because I think that's how you get the most out of these rookie drafts. All right. No surprises at the top. Caleb Williams. He's in a tier of his own for me. I've seen a lot of people talking about how Marvin Harrison Jr. has actually gone as the 101 in some Superflex drafts, actually in quite a few Superflex drafts. I have yet to see that in any of mine. I get the draw for it, though. If you're already set a quarterback, maybe you want to try to lock down a potential top 10 wide out but i
