Navigating Your Dynasty Rookie Draft: Late 2nd

For many dynasty players, the off-season highlight is the annual rookie draft. For some, that date may be rapidly approaching. Once our respective dynasty teams are eliminated from contention (and sometimes even before), we turn our attention to the incoming rookie class, and delusions of grandeur take over.

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.

This 12-part series will use the latest data available at Dynasty League Football: Superflex Rookie ADP from the past 30 days. We will mention the player or players you could soon add to your team via the rookie draft. We will also include options based on the 1QB rookie ADP from the same timeframe for those who play in that format.

The first round of rookie drafts includes the players we've been hearing about for months, if not years, but difference-makers can also be found in the second round and beyond. Each section will encompass four picks, and we will go four rounds deep to help you be as prepared as possible.

Hendon Hooker, QB DET

Given it is superflex, another quarterback comes off the board here. Hooker may be the most challenging evaluation in the entire draft class. He was hyper-productive in his final year with Tennessee and in the conversation for the Heisman award. However, he is 25 years old and tore his ACL in Nov, meaning he will likely be 26 before he sees the field; on top of that, he is coming out of a college offense that may be least representative of an NFL offense in the entire FBS.
