2025 Rookie Discussion

ranked teams?

Arent they primarily ranking the offense anyway?

 

[TREFF]

Production shouldn't be everything bc some guys, at any position, just don't translate to the NFL. Some of these rankings are interesting though. PFF has their system and ratings. It would be interesting to see a deep dive, maybe 5 years, for NFL draft rankings per PFF

Hampton didn't play any ranked teams? That's crazy.

wow..they really didn't..not one single team on the schedule was in the top 25. I was thinking surely they played someone who was ranked at the time and wasn't at the end, or maybe unranked at the time but ended ranked, but no, not one single ranked opponent by any measure. Not even the bowl game.

The ACC had 4 ranked teams- SMU, Miami, Clemson and Syracuse, but UNC didn't play any of them

Egbuka was a good pick. If anything you get a GREAT locker room guy and leader which Tampa IMO desperately needs.

Might be a bit of a homer here but I think Emmanwori will be absolutely ridiculous for Seattle in Macs scheme especially with the leadership the Hawks now have on D (Reed, D Law, Witherspoon, Love).

I also think Revel for the Cowboys was an absolute steal, so was Watts for the Falcons.

agreed across the board. too bad Emmanawori, Watts, and Revel won't be helping fantasy owners unless they're in relatively deep IDP leagues

Eh... if all you care about is Fantasy Football when watching an NFL team, you're not a real NFL fan.

I meant just opponents for UNC

Why did Ollie take such a tumble? In February he was ranked as the RB9. In April, he was RB11. Post draft he was RB16.

Feb-April, ppl got more time to look at tape
Ollie had a lot of hype from his sophomore year and high on early mock drafts.
After a down year for him and the team, his stock has falling off

If it helps shark's argument, i'm just here for fantasy football. Hardly watch any regular season games. Just compare stat lines.

Actually he went 19 for 179, 2 TDs, 2 fumbles against Clemson in 2023 (Top ten defense in many metrics)

well I think the spread sheet was specifically only the '24 season, and I assume the 'ranked' opponent was the typical, top 25 ranked team, not a defense metric ranking as no top 5, top 10, top 25 was mentioned.
When talking college football, and someone says 'ranked opponent' it's always assumed to mean a top 25 BCS ranking is being discussed.

Was Clemson ranked in '23?

I think you find that is pretty much the way they all go. ..... There are arguments to be made one way or the other as to order after the top two - but that depends on what your particular team needs most. ...

The top 4 looks pretty standard. Anything past that is going to be based on need and mixed but overall that seems like a typical 1st round in full.

Surprised to see Ward in the first round in a 12-team league.
