For many dynasty players, the highlight of the off-season is the annual rookie draft, and we are now mere days away from many of those drafts kicking off. Once our respective dynasty teams are eliminated from contention (and sometimes even before), we tend to turn our attention to the incoming rookie class, and delusions of grandeur take over. In fact, dynasty players spend nearly the entire off-season preparing for how they will use their draft picks or if they will use them at all.
In this twelve-part series, our team will use the latest data available here at Dynasty League Football, namely our April Superflex Rookie ADP and the Dynasty Trade Finder, to ensure you are as prepared as possible when your draft begins. Based on our most recent ADP data, we'll suggest the player you could soon be adding to your team, and if you don't like that, we'll also include a potential pivot option. In addition, we'll include options based on the updated 1QB rookie ADP for those who play in that format. Finally, using the Dynasty Trade Finder, we'll examine some recent trades that have taken place with each specific draft pick.
We all know the first round of rookie drafts includes the players we've been hearing about for months if not years, but difference-makers can be found in the second round and beyond, as well. Because of that, we'll also address the other picks that accompany each respective first-round draft slot.
Rookie Selection 1.08
A fifth-year player and three-star recruit out of high school, Levis had a slow start to his career thanks to being stuck behind another quarterback in this draft class, Sean Clifford. After redshirting his true freshman season, Levis barely got on the field for his second and third seasons. After attempting only a combined 102 passes his first three seasons, Levis transferred to Kentucky and immediately became the starter. His fourth season started off with a bang, throwing for 367 yards and four touchdowns in his first game with the Wildcats. Unfortunately, things cooled from there. Levis finished year four with a 66% completion rate and threw for 2,826 yards, with 24 touchdowns to 13 interceptions. Year five saw very similar numbers for Levis, with 2,406 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions.
