Rookie Mock Draft

By Arlo Vander

Following this year’s NFL draft, we held a rookie mock draft in order to judge the fantasy value of the new faces entering the league. All offensive players eligible for the NFL draft could be chosen, and we assumed a dynasty league format in which players could be kept on a fantasy roster for many seasons, leading to difficult decisions for our drafters in deciding whether to look for immediate impact, or overall potential. Charles Rogers went off the board first, Quentin Griffin was last, and there were many surprise choices in between…
