I'm in an Experts dynasty league, and we're holding our annual rookie draft right now. It's inching along, but we've almost completed the first round and I thought I'd share so people could follow along if they want to see how one group of experts views the incoming rookies.
It's a dynasty league, so 2015 is only a part of the picture, of course. You're picking players who you figure will have the best career, not necessarily the best season.
My pick was at 1.10, and a couple of weeks back the guy picking at 1.01, planning to take Todd Gurley, offered me 1.09 for Tre Mason. I like Mason, but I had no chance at getting Gurley and the writing is on the wall that Mason won't be starting there. I took the deal.
I used my two picks on new Dolphins wideout DeVante Parker and Falcons running back Tevin Coleman. I now have a modest offer out to the guy who has Devonta Freeman, hoping that perhaps he'll feel about Freeman about how I felt about Mason. We'll see.
