It’s almost that time of year again: rookie drafts are on the horizon. Rebuilders are full of glee as they hoard their picks, while contenders are scheming how they can pry some of those picks away, and dynasty players everywhere are champing at the bit to draft their favorite prospect.

I’m very surprised at your desire to trade back from 1.09 thru 1.12. I find myself the exact opposite. I have stockpiled great players in this range. I love to move into this range every draft. I’ve gotten Metcalf, Lamb, Pickens, Waddle, Etienne, Javonte, Akers and Tua all in this 1.09 – 1.12 range. I’ve also watched Michael Thomas, Jefferson, Herbert, AJ Brown, Kamara, DJ Moore, Calvin Ridley go in this range as well. I get it, there’s no guarantee no matter where you select in the draft but this is just the last 6-7 years of players and that’s a lot of hits. That appears to be pretty good odds for playoff of teams or teams who decided to drop back and get these picks plus something else.

I’m with you, I’ve had good hits. But I also tend to target high 2nds bc they hit similarly, so I see his point of moving back a little to add value.

As mentioned in the Historical Consensus section, I acknowledge that this area does seem to always have some serious hits at WRs and I try to identify that player(s) to target them. My overarching point here is that at this time that player is hard to define and that I’ll always be interested in picking up some extra DC in a draft like this where there looks to be a big tier at the end of round 1 extending in round 2.
