2025 Rookie Discussion

[TREFF]

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

Could be a desperate owner that was riding Cousins/Rodgers and streaming the scrub spot starters.

While I wouldn't do it, as I think Cam Ward is a JAG at best, BUT once the main 4 RB's are gone, the top 2-3 receivers are gone..if you don't need a TE.. you either reach hard on a RB or a shot in the dark WR, or go with the only rookie QB virtually guaranteed to start week 1

Not knowing rosters, I certainly would've taken Harvey or Loveland before Ward though.

Had our 12-team rookie draft last night. Round 1:
1 Jeanty
2 Hampton
3 Hunter
4 Judkins
5 McMillan
6 Henderson
7 Egbuka
8 Warren
9 Johnson
10 Ward
11 Harvey
12 Loveland

Harvey fell WAYYYYY too far.

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?

Yes

I'm just given context that Hampton has looked good against good competition. Just looking if an opponent is ranked or not doesn't always tell the full story
