Inside The Dynasty War Room: DLF Reacts to Day Three of the 2024 NFL Draft

What a weekend for dynasty fans - many storylines that will affect dynasty leagues for years to come. The culmination of another draft is here, with the final two data points of landing spots and draft capital confirmed. Attention quickly switches to finalizing rookie rankings and upcoming rookie drafts. With this in mind, it is key to continue digesting information from the draft and set yourself up to succeed in your dynasty leagues.

Day three is extremely important for dynasty roster depth, with the bonus of hitting a superstar every few seasons. The reactions to day one and day two from inside the dynasty war room here at DLF have provided invaluable perspective to take forward. We complete the series with the conclusion of the 2024 NFL Draft.

1) Which rookie drafted on day three had the biggest increase in dynasty value?

Troy Franklin, we’re back baby!! After being left for dead for falling to day three, Franklin resurrected his value by landing with the Broncos to pair with his college QB, Bo Nix. I honestly believe that Franklin is the best receiver on the team right now, and his connection with Nix may give him a very productive rookie season. (Addison Hayes)

When looking at the weekend as a whole, Troy Franklin didn’t increase his dynasty value but landing in Denver at the top of the fourth did a lot to recover the value he lost from his fall. But looking a bit deeper down the board, I really like what happened for Theo Johnson. Not only did he have one of the best relative athletic scores (RAS) of all time for a TE, but he was the fifth tight end off the board and was drafted by a team whose starter, Darren Waller, is openly considering retirement. (Andrew Francesconi)

Several tight ends saw their name called on day three. Among them, I liked how a duo, in particular, slid into their respective teams. Ja'Tavion Sanders (Carolina Panthers) and Theo Johnson (New York Giants) were both taken early in the fourth round and can see a path to relevance, given the lack of quality in the Panthers' tight end room, and the possible retirement of Darren Waller in big blue. (Eric Flynn)

I agree with Eric in the fact that the tight ends in this rookie class saw some nice day three capital and landing spots to help their dynasty value. Along with Sanders and Johnson going in the fourth round, I really liked Erick All going to the Bengals, Cade Stover going to the Texans and Jared Wiley going to the Chiefs. All five of those tight ends are now worth a late second-round to early fourth-round rookie draft pick for me. I would probably draft them in that order as well: Sanders, Johnson, All, Stover, and Wiley. (Justin Taylor)

An excellent selection by the Giants, taking running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. He’s a strong bet to emerge as the top backup to the soon-to-be 27-year-old Devin Singletary. Tracy Jr is a raw prospect who hasn’t been playing running back for many years, with untapped potential and a strong pass-catching background - feels like a potential duplicate of Antonio Gibson. (Kev White)
