12 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft (2022) Outcomes (five rounds, from draft spots 1-12, yesterday)
After seeing preseason Week 1 and adjusting our DRD rankings and absorbing all the hot ADP shifts on the rookie RBs of note, I did 12 mock DRDs in-a-row to show where I’m at on the DRD these days.
I’m not afraid to trade any and all 1st-round picks but I like the later 1st-round more than before for Rachaad White…and Pacheco and Pierce are moving towards that range. Gone are the days of compiling a bunch of 2nds/3rds and having a field day. They’re onto us.
Here’s my latest run of DRDs from the 1-12 spots…
1.01 = Breece Hall, NYJ = Have to pick him first, and my intention would be to trade him.
2.01 = Rachaad White, TB = Choices between Pierce, Pacheco, Allgeier…taking White thinking Allgeier or Pacheco could be available next.
3.01 = Jelani Woods, IND
4.01 = Kyle Philips, TEN
5.01 = Jaylen Warren, PIT
--------------------------------
1.02 = Rachaad White, TB = I won’t mess around and try to draft Jameson then Rachaad early 2nd (right near/at his ADP avg.). I’ll go for Rachaad + one of the other desired RBs instead.
2.02 = Isaih Pacheco, KC = Gambling here. We’ve moved from Pacheco undervalued to overvalued, in a sense. If Pacheco wins the job…then he’s bigger than Allgeier or Pierce getting their lead job.
3.02 = Brian Robinson, WSH = He fell, so I am taking a chance…plus hoping Woods available next…long-shot but maybe.
4.02 = Jelani Woods, IND = He’s not hot in DRDs yet and this is early 4th.
5.02 = Kyle Philips, TEN = Another guy not getting his due.
--------------------------------
1.03 = Rachaad White, TB
2.03 = Isaih Pacheco, KC = go Pierce if you want (if even available)…go Allgeier if you want. I want the KC lead over the ATL or HOU lead hope/shot.
3.03 = Jelani Woods, IND
4.03 = Kyle Philips, TEN
5.03 = Trestan Ebner, CHI
--------------------------------
1.04 = Rachaad White, TB
2.04 = Isaih Pacheco, KC = go Pierce if you want (if even available)…go Allgeier if you want. I want the KC lead over the ATL or HOU lead hope/shot.
3.04 = Jelani Woods, IND
4.04 = Kyle Philips, TEN
5.04 = Trestan Ebner, CHI
--------------------------------
1.05 = Rachaad White, TB
2.05 = Isaih Pacheco, KC = go Pierce if you want (if even available)…go Allgeier if you want. I want the KC lead over the ATL or HOU lead hope/shot.
3.05 = Jelani Woods, IND
4.05 = Kyle Philips, TEN
5.05 = Bo Melton, SEA = Trestan Ebner was gone, so I took a shot on a speedster WR who flashed a moment in the preseason Week 1. Just gambling.
--------------------------------
1.06 = Rachaad White, TB
2.06 = Isaih Pacheco, KC = go Pierce if you want (if even available)…go Allgeier if you want. I want the KC lead over the ATL or HOU lead hope/shot. 3.06 = Jelani Woods, IND
4.06 = Kyle Philips, TEN
5.06 = Isaiah Likely, BAL = Again, Ebner gone…so, just throwing darts.
--------------------------------
1.07 = Rachaad White, TB
2.07 = Tyler Allgeier, ATL = Finally got scooped on Pacheco here. It’s fine.
3.07 = Jelani Woods, IND
4.07 = Kyle Philips, TEN
5.07 = Colt Turner, WSH = just trying different 5th-round fliers for kicks on this mock. I’ve not got conviction on any typical 5th-round right now.
--------------------------------
1.08 = Rachaad White, TB
2.08 = Tyler Allgeier, ATL = Allgeier not catching the fire Pacheco-Pierce-BRob are.
3.08 = Jelani Woods, IND
4.08 = Kyle Philips, TEN
5.08 = Jaylen Warren, PIT = This draft had a glitch or something because Warren was still out there. He’s moving towards the top 40-45 now on average -- some smart drafts he’s chased into the 30-range, other drafts ignored.
--------------------------------
1.09 = Rachaad White, TB
2.09 = Tyler Allgeier, ATL
3.09 = Jelani Woods, IND
4.09 = Kyle Philips, TEN
5.09 = Zonovan Knight, NYJ = RB desperate league and looking for any signs of life? One of the best low level RBs that I saw preseason Week 1.
--------------------------------
1.10 = Rachaad White, TB
2.10 = Jelani Woods, IND = All my RBs/WRs gone, I’m OK taking Woods here this late 2nd.
3.10 = Khalil Shakir, BUF
4.10 = Kyle Philips, TEN = if you have Najee, then a Jaylen Warren might make sense for you late-3rd or 4th.
5.10 = Cole Turner, WSH
--------------------------------
1.11 = Rachaad White, TB
2.11 = Jelani Woods, IND
3.11 = Khalil Shakir, BUF
4.11 = Danny Gray, SF = Philips gone, Jaylen Warren, Jerome Ford gone
5.11 = Isaiah Likely, BAL
--------------------------------
1.12 = Isaih Pacheco, KC = finally missed on Rachaad.
2.12 = Jelani Woods, IND
3.12 = Kyle Philips, TEN
4.12 = Danny Gray, SF
5.12 = Cole Turner, WSH
