When surveying my current rankings and tiers, a few things stand out. For an expanded listing, be sure to check out all DLF’s rookie rankings here. Don’t overdraft and let players come to you, especially into the third round.įollowing are my 36 ranked rookies and my currently assigned tiers. While I’m not fond of rookie tight ends, this may be the best class at the position in 10-15 years. There’s going to be second and third-round rookie draft value this year. This year’s running back class is far more intriguing with good size up and down my rankings. The ‘glue’ of each draft is usually found in its wide receivers and in 2023, it’s a thin group outside of the first round. As is always the case, it’s the running back position that tends to rise or fall in relation to other positions following the draft. In 2023, my top eight players are relatively defined, meaning I have a level of confidence in their ranking and potential production at the next level, almost regardless of drafted situation. The lines between tiers are often not clearly defined and it’s not always easy to separate players accordingly. I often seek players in my top-three tiers as I’ve found those have the highest hit rate in fantasy. Changes leading up to the draft are certain to occur. A closer look at my rankings below will shed more light on the players I believe you’ll be able to select at this early juncture. The strategy here is to acquire other pick/player assets in return for a move back to 1.05, allowing other coaches to make their selections ahead of you, taking what remains from the draft’s top five. If you aren’t selecting first-overall (Robinson), the sweet spot for this draft could be 1.05, making for an intriguing trade-back opportunity from 1.02-1.04. The NFL Draft is certain to shrink the pool as top players go to less-than-ideal situations, but there’s also the possibility that some lower-ranked players increase in value, replacing those who fall. This is far from ideal for those holding high selections and needing rookie impact.Īt the same time, if you’re holding late-first rookie selections, this is a great year to sit tight, or even acquire picks in that range. Aside from running back Bijan Robinson, I could make an argument for seven players following Robinson as the potential 1.02 selection in rookie drafts. The 2023 rookie draft class lost a lot of its value as the 2022 collegiate season progressed, primarily due to the wide receivers not performing as expected.

Other risers in the rankings below are Brian Robinson (maybe the Commanders RB1?), Wan'Dale Robinson, Zamir White, and Jalen Tolbert.The 2023 NFL Combine is in the books and, as a result, I’ve updated my rookie rankings and player evaluations as we now wait for free agency to take place and, of course, the NFL Draft at the end of April. I still don't know what Pierce's five-year window looks like, but he could be the second or third most valuable rookie this year. This seems like the perfect guy for the end of Round 1 in rookie drafts because those teams are usually contenders. But like Pickens, he's proven his worth much faster than I expected, so much so that the expectation now is that he'll lead the team in rushing in Week 1. Pierce was a guy I had in early Round 2 with Tyler Allgeier as guys I thought could earn Year 1 roles but may not have long futures as feature backs. Now that he's in this system and properly appreciated, I have no problem vaulting him into the first round. I believe he's already better than Chase Claypool and has more long-term upside than even Diontae Johnson. Pickens has been the star of camp and everyone who speaks of him in Pittsburgh sounds like they're in love. The fact that he landed in Pittsburgh, where they've done a phenomenal job of developing receivers appears to be paying immediate dividends. Pickens has been viewed as a future star since he was in high school and only fell to the second round because of injury and non-football concerns.
Two that have skyrocketed have been George Pickens and Dameon Pierce.
It's just important to have a good reason for moving players. And I can empathize with that position, but seeing as the current year is the most important and most predictable year in Dynasty, I can't agree with it. There are people who would tell you that rookie-only rankings shouldn't change all that much from the NFL Draft until we see them play real football.
