2017 RORR Draft Value Review
The draft has come and gone. $200 bar tabs were wagered, beer bongs were sampled, and I wagered $20 on someone (not sure who) not rushing for 500 yards.
As I am apt to do, I decided to break everything down here with a bit of numbers courtesy of dynastyfftools.com. All I did was run a trade through of each player against its draft pick so nothing too crazy. If you think you got a great value for a pick and the calculator disagrees: no biggie! Our values and the calculator’s value don’t always match up.
Draft Day by the numbers:
48 draft picks
12 total trades
3 hours, 56 minutes and 3 seconds total from 1.01 to 4.12
18 minutes average for Big Ginga to pick
-1654 total value “lost” if we were to trade all of our players drafted for their pick value
2 Bud Light Limes beerbonged
Overall, I’d say a few teams pulled off our first Rookie Draft extremely well. Anarchy PD added some much-needed youth behind his old but star-studded lineup. Beats by Ray now owns one employed tight end. Legion of Boom had some great picks and continues building the 2019 All-Star team.
In no particular order here is each team with their picks, best value and biggest reach according to the calculator, and how much they “gained” or “lost” value with their picks.
