Past/Present/Future Rookie Pick Value: 2023 Late 3rd

After everything is said and done, the 2023 rookie draft class might be one of the most historic in all of dynasty fantasy football. The biggest narrative going into the off-season is that the running back class is loaded with talent and the wide receiver group is one of the worst we’ve seen in a while. From a macro perspective, we might catch ourselves in a landscape where we can catch wide receivers at a value and talented running back prospects leak into the third round of rookie drafts.

Another thing we have to note is that we are looking at a very deep tight end class this year. With the position being very volatile in fantasy on a week-to-week basis, there’s a good chance we find good tight end prospects in the back half of rookie drafts.

When we try to predict what’s going to be there in the third round of rookie drafts this year, it’s easy to see just by looking at the player pool that there are going to be some interesting names who fall in the latter portion of drafts.
