**Top 3 Rounds Breakdown**
***ADP Info from the Fantasy Football Calculator***
1st Round
With both Alvin Kamara-RB & Travis Kelce-TE having a 1st round asking price and only one 1st round pick to go around, the Surprise Scorpions will have to make a difficult decision. Either way, they are letting one of the top players at their position walk to start off the 2022 season.
2nd & 3rd Round
With no player having a 1nd round asking price and only A.J. Brown-WR having a 3rd round asking price, this team has a lot of options available to them. Brown was the WR4 on this team last season, so it would seem very expensive to keep him around for a 3rd round pick in 2022.
Other Notable Roster Moves
The 4th round is where this team will have some decisions to make. Jalen Hurts-QB, Leonard Fournette-RB, Josh Jacobs-RB, Kyle Pitts-TE, & DeVondre Campbell-LB all have a 4th round asking price.
If they decide to move on from Kelce, then I could see them holding onto Kyle Pitts-TE. If they decide to move on from Kamara, then Fournette or Jacobs seems viable to hold onto. One option might be to over pay to keep more than one of those 4th rounders by giving up their 3rd round pick for say Fournette, who has a ADP of 2.12, (or 24th overall).
Fournette does have the highest ADP of the five players mentioned…
Other notable keepers…
Cooper Kupp-WR (for a 7th round pick) A no brainer
Tyler Lockett-WR (for a 8th round pick) Another no brainer
Eric Kendricks-LB (for a 13th round pick) No brainers left and right… lol.
