**Top 3 Rounds Breakdown**
***ADP Info from the Fantasy Football Calculator***
1st Round
With both Dalvin Cook-RB & Amari Cooper-WR having a 1st round asking price and only one 1st round pick to go around, the NC Titans will have to make a decision here. I think keeping Cook over Cooper is a no brainer with Cook’s ADP at 1.08, or 8th overall compared to Cooper’s ADP of 81st overall.
2nd Round
Melvin Gordon-RB is the only player on this team with a 2nd round asking price. This is way too expensive for Gordon who has an ADP of 89th overall. With other ball carriers on the roster like Cook, Saquon Barkley & a returning Cam Akers, I’d cut my losses here…
3rd Round
Saquon Barkley-RB & Deshaun Watson-QB are the only two players on the team with a 3rd round asking price. I do like keeping Watson as this is a dynasty league, but at this price is just too expensive. Especially for a player who won’t play much (or at all) in 2022. Plus the risk of losing Barkley to keep Watson makes this a no brainer for me.
Other Notable Roster Moves
Ja’Marr Chase-WR (for a 4th round pick) An absolute no brainer here, courtesy of the rookie draft. Before the rookie draft was installed, he would have cost a 1st rounder to keep in 2022.
T.J. Watt-LB or Bobby Wagner-LB (both asking for a 5th round pick) I’d go youth and take Watt myself..
Jordan Poyer-DB (for a 8th round pick) Good value here
Kenyon Drake-RB (for a 9th rounder)
Diontae Johnson-WR (for a 10th rounder) A no brainer
T.J. Hockenson-TE (for an 11th rounder) Possibly…
Dak Prescott-QB (for a 14th rounder) A no brainer here…
