The part that makes me doubt is that they wouldn’t do a deal unless the Broncos 1st rounder was part of it I’d think. I am leaning towards it being fluff.

Ok cool, opinion noted, now go learn how to spell his name. In PPR, it should be a pretty close race, though maybe I'd give the edge to Harris in weepaws scoring.

It’s obvious the Giants wanted Smith, but when it’s all said and done I’d rather have Toney and the picks instead of just Smith. Good job out of Getty having a plan and not getting caught flat footed like Reese and taking someone like Eli Apple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
worm 34 Posted April 30, 2021 I'm surprised the 49ers took Lance over Fields, but I'm totally fine with it and really excited to see what they can do with him.

But to me, next year's class is obismal looking. QB's are nothing to look at. TE's are non existant. RB & WR do have a couple top guys each. But the depth is certainly not there. We've really been spoiled in recent years with those 2 positions being very deep. But 2022 it finally evens out imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But 2022 it finally evens out imo. Maybe for fantasy, but next years draft picks were much more valued than this year’s. The NCAA or BCS, whoever makes those decisions extended an extra year of eligibility and many players took advantage and will come out next year. Plus, hopefully (cross fingers) we will be back to semi normal times and much more information will be available then was for this draft. 2022 picks were viewed as gold, and the Giants have 7 in the first 4 rounds. I honestly have no clue how the fantasy prospects are viewed for 2022, but I was speaking strictly in real football terms... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But 2022 it finally evens out imo. Saw this from Peter King, just another example of those who say the 2022 draft is superior: New York Giants. Bullish on the G-men and the suddenly futuristic GM, Dave Gettleman. Wideout Kadarius Toney at 20 was an okay pick, but pass-rusher Azeez Ojulari, even with health questions, was a value home run at 50. Picking up extra 2022 picks in the first (Chicago), third (Miami) and fourth (Chicago) was really smart, because 2022 is likely to be a better, and certainly deeper, draft.

AxeElf 787 Posted May 4, 2021 I think the idea that the 2022 draft will be deeper than usual is because of the COVID year, and lots of players taking advantage of the extra year of eligibility--fewer players came out after last season, so more will come out after next season. It doesn't necessarily say anything about the quality of the players in the draft, but it stands to reason that with more players available in general, there should be more blue-chip players available as a result.

Yeah I think that’s the early narrative for sure. In researching this a little bit 2022 should have more quality defensive players led by the Oregon Edge Thibedaux. This past draft only had 3 defensive players selected in the top 15. Obviously this has little effect on fantasy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kopy 489 Posted May 5, 2021 This will be a fun topic to revisit later this year. As of now I'm just having a hard time coming up with a top 12 for a first round rookie draft next year. Last year, was a piece of cake. Even though I wasn't as high on this year's class as alot of other people. I still had no problem doing it. And it looks like I can already (potentially) do it for 2023. We'll see what happens when the games start. Maybe I can change my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
