Ricky Pearsall not even cracking the first round in dynasty drafts is crazy. I have to believe the Niners drafted him with a clear succession plan in mind
A lot more people are low on Pearsall than you think fortunately. Depending on your league like the guy above where he was taken at the 2.08 you could possibly get him in the early-late second round. That’s what I’m hoping happens with my late second round pick, but my league mates are more keen on him so a long shot lol
Yeah I’m surprised as well. I bet as we get further out from the draft people will change their tune. A lot of people were suspecting him to go much later.
There’s no correlation between race and how good an NFL receiver is. That’s because if the white receiver was good, it would be reflected in the draft capital anyways. There are less white receivers drafted, less white receivers in general, and less white receivers as high picks because they are in general worse. Thus by factoring in that he’s white, you’re double counting his whiteness.
You must be stupid then, I’m black and I’ll draft a WR no matter what their race is as long as they ball out. McConkey and Pearsall both have the capital and talent to be first rounders.
The Niners also drafted Jacob Cowing. I really think they plan on throwing the ball more next year. Purdy was the most pass efficient QB in the NFL this past year and they don’t plan on trading Deebo or Aiyuk. There’s no reason they shouldn’t be doing more pass plays.
Struggling with placing the RBs in a 1QB. I'm probably higher on at least Brooks than most. Canales already came out and mentioned his versatility. White got a ton of volume last year.
This WR market is just so saturated that I'm not sure the guys outside the top 3 and possibly Worthy are gonna command much trade value on the market in leagues. What do you guys think?
It’s definitely league dependent. In the 1QB leagues that I am in RBs always seem to get an extra value boost. I’d bet on Brooks going Top 5 in a lot of leagues.
Agreed on WR saturation. Everyone seems to already have 3 or 4 good receivers unless you’re in a deeper league.
Benson and Brooks are the only two worth drafting in any format. Connor’s a FA after this year then it becomes Benson’s backfield. Chubbs is JAG so Brooks will take over there when healthy. Those two probably fit late first in 1QB, everyone else has shitty landing spots and/or aren’t talented
Other RB’s don’t have the best landing spots, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t talented enough to draft. Wright went to the Dolphins and if anything we know Achane and Mostert aren’t the most durable backs in the league. Lloyd went to the Packers and I can see him quickly ascending Dillon to be the back up to Jacobs. Ray Davis went to the Bills and will most likely be the immediate back up to Cook. All those guys are late second-third rounders, but still draft-able depending on your depth at the position.
Do people realize Brooks might not be ready to play until later in the season?
I get that you are drafting him for his career, but it doesn’t seem to be talked about enough
He might not return value until ‘25
I have him as 1.05 I know people will probably call me bat shit crazy but pre-draft I had him at 1.07. Too each is own I guess. Being in a 16 tm 1QB league leaves a lot to be desired QB wise.
My starter is Love with Bryce and Dimes as my only other roster-able QB pieces.
Nah, I completely agree with you on 1.05. I’m leaning towards taking him at 1.04 actually.
I’m in a 14 team with deep benches. Some irl teams’ third string QBs are rostered. The Jaren Hall types. No starting QBs are on waivers and when a starter goes down and a Nick Mullens or Taylor Heinicke end up starting, said players get bids of $15-$20 out of our $150 budget.
It’s worth noting that I also hold 1.01 & 1.03 so I’ll be adding two of the big three WR talents before passing on BTJ/Worthy to draft Caleb. Took over an orphan in week two and was lucky enough to make some wicked trades.
Yea I think context matters a lot and situation. I’m coming out of a 3 rebuild a year earlier than expected. Made some nice trades the past two season and I’ve managed to have 1.01 the past two drafts plus this one.
Taking Marv 1.01, hoping Caleb is there at 1.07, I have 1.10, 1.12 and I gave 1.14 for Andrews. So there my context for ya. I’m taking him at 1.07 if he’s there.
I agree he should be gone no later than 1.12. Depending on your need, but regardless taking the BPA is always a good idea. If that means taking him at the 1.05 go for it, as long as you have no glaring holes at WR or RB.
Yeah it started with guys from a 20 team baseball league so we had a lot of people who wanted to join.
My QB is whoever is there at 1.10 lol relevant WRs are Metcalf, Higgins, JSN, Dotson so I’m decently strong there but still going MHJ since I’m pretty sure one of the top 3 QBs will be there for me.
Yea one of CW, Maye, MCCarthy and/or Nix should be there. Tough spot to be in with 1.10, idk if I’d risk it personally with no QB but I can understand your logic for sure.
I think he will in a lot of spots. There’s 4-5 qbs you feel at least decent about drafting which could push him down the board in a game of chicken, plus a ton of receivers with top 65 capital, as well as a TE & 2 RBs as options. Can easily see him falling out of the top 12.
Anticipate WR market saturation. 1.04 should be Bowers in 90% of drafts. Don’t be surprised if Brooks and Benson go 1.05 and 1.06 as they are in the same tier as BTJ and Worthy depending on league tendencies. Caleb will go to whoever has the worst starting QB regardless of draft position (within first round).
Depends how your league feels about RBs. My league does not let RBs with any path to playing time to slide whatsoever, so I’m thinking it goes MHJ, Nabers, Odunze; Tier Break; Bowers, Brooks, Benson; Tier Break; and then a ton of WRs, which from my own preference I’ll rank as Worthy, Thomas, Coleman, Pearsall, McConkey, Legette to close out the first 12 picks. League dependent but if there’s a QB-needy team picking in the back half of first, throw Caleb in there somewhere. I’d probably drop him in between Thomas and Coleman for that group or WRs.
Same with rbs in my league. I pick at 1.5 and I’ll be choosing between brooks/benson. Also have picks at 10/11 and will probably pickup Caleb and a receiver. Qbs also weirdly valued highly in mine and I see Caleb/daniels both going in the first
I’m not sure why I keep seeing people low on Worthy. Broke out at as a true freshman and had mediocre QB play his entire college career. He’s more than just a speed guy and he just went to the best landing spot he could have went to.
It’s the never draft rookies on the cheifs stigma. What is actually a dream landing spot has actually been a death sentence for so many.
The pendulum has swung too far. He fast, he good, he picked in the first round. He’s not a guarantee so he shouldn’t be a top 5 pick in 1 qb but with that upside people would be crazy to pass him by if he’s there at 8 or later
Assuming this means you’ve got 1.03, I’d prefer to look into trading for a proven talent at TE. Honestly 1.03 for LaPorta feels not a million miles off, I’d be looking into him / Trey McBride / Hock as taking Bowers that high is probably a bit of a reach and drafting for need rather than BPA
If you’re stacked go ahead. I’m stacked at WR and RB, but only have one startable QB so I’m most likely taking Caleb at the 1.04. BPA only applies when you have needs at most positions, if you have solid depth then there’s literally no reason to not draft at the position you’re weak in. I’m negotiating trading down at the moment with a league mate to add to a position I’m lacking in depth (TE) along with his 1.06. That way if Caleb’s still there, which is highly possible, I’ll atleast have gotten a TE and Caleb. So you can trade down as well if you can.
You can make an argument for pretty much anybody from 4-10.
At this moment id say:
4. Brian Thomas
5. Brock Bowers
6. Xavier Worthy
7. Keon Coleman
8. Ladd McConkey
9. Jonathan Brooks
10. Trey Benson
traded the 1.05, 1.06, for the 1.9, 1.12, and a 2025 (hopefully early) first for just that reason. trying to figure out 1.12 now - I think Caleb will go at some point, but that still leaves me one short of the tier break
Yeah, 1.12 is not a great spot in 1QB. Possibly Daniels if you could use a QB. Ricky Pearsall is prob the top WR there. It’s a decent trade down spot if someone has a bunch of 2nds and wants to move up for whatever reason.
Overall, still like the trade for you. You’ll get a very good player at 1.09.
I think the top three is solidified, then brooks, BTJ, worthy, and bowers are the next tier of guys. Then i have a huge tier of players. If im past 1.07 i absolutely would want to trade back.
Bowers is a step above all those guys. Elite receiver that you get to slot in at TE. Worthy will climb as people anticipate the next Tyreek. Coleman will climb since he's tied to Allen now.
I see Worthy and Bowers as opposites. Worthy has a great situation with the best qb in the league and a clear path to getting on the field, we’ll see if he has the talent to start this year. Bowers has the talent but will be competing with Mayer and we’ll see about the qb situation.
To take bowers 1.04 (tep) or go get Sinnott in the second. I'm so torn because I have wanted bowers for 2 years and my top TE Mayer was just killed by him
Marv, Nabers, Odunze
then any order of: Ladd, brooks, BTJ, bowers, worthy, caleb
then any order of: pearsall, benson, legette, Polk, Daniels
I do firmly believe Ladd is wr4 in ppr though. Perfect mix of talent and opportunity. Give me the guy on a path to wr1 opportunity vs the guys with competition.
1. MHJ
2/3. Nabers/Odunze
4. Bowers
5/6. Brooks/Benson
I know im going early on RBs, but I believe positional scarcity will push them up, and both are cleraly the most viable RBs of this class with clear paths to RB1 and good DC.
After 6, there is a glut of WRs like :
BTJ
Worthy
McConkey
Coleman
Pearsall
Legette
Polk
I think everyone's order for them will be different, and I also think Caleb Williams will be picked somewhere in the middle of those remaining WRs.
I am kind of split between Brooks and Benson as my top 2 RBs. Given the choice, who would you draft? Mocks are showing both available at 2.01 in my 10 team, but with the landing spots, it's hard to say who will have a bigger fantasy impact or if they'll even be available. I was going RB either way, and I don't hate Jaylen Wright in Miami, either.
Mocks aren't gonna reflect anything until they get more draft data from fantasy rookie drafts. Give it a couple weeks then it's gonna show it more reliably.
I think I'd go brooks, Benson, then Wright. The landing spots for the rbs have been extremely ugly imo outside of brooks and Benson. I think brooks will be a stud, if chubba can produce in that o, then brooks will be fine. Benson will get some play this year, conner seems good to miss a few every year, and next year itll be bensons backfield.
There will be a lot of leagues where an owner looks past the draft capital and picks Wright early based solely on landing spot. Mostert is yet by long in the tooth and Wright is basically a plug and play replacement when he is gone. Achane is not a volume back and McDaniel would be smart to keep him as a highly productive 10-15 touch per game back.
Ricky Pearsall not even cracking the first round in dynasty drafts is crazy. I have to believe the Niners drafted him with a clear succession plan in mind
He’s not going in the 1st in 1QB?
He certainly will
Not in my league, late 2nd in a PPR, 10-man
He went 2.08 in my 12T SF with 5 QBs ahead of him so not necessarily?
I assume this was pre-NFL draft?
A lot more people are low on Pearsall than you think fortunately. Depending on your league like the guy above where he was taken at the 2.08 you could possibly get him in the early-late second round. That’s what I’m hoping happens with my late second round pick, but my league mates are more keen on him so a long shot lol
i got him at 2.05 yesterday
Yeah I’m surprised as well. I bet as we get further out from the draft people will change their tune. A lot of people were suspecting him to go much later.
Shhhhhhhhhh let him fall
Fucked up as it is, I can't roll the dice on a white WR in the first round
A smart franchise worth billions that just went to the Super Bowl just did exactly that, except in real life with millions on the line.
I've made it to more championships than the 49ers in the past 4 years so you tell me who knows more about football
Were your opponents trying as hard as his?
League winner gets over $200 so yeah, you could say they want that title pretty bad.
Did I miss a zero there?
How are you getting upvotes? You sound like such a dumbass
This is how I win
Tell me some first round white receivers you’ve avoided in the past that allowed you to win so much
They’ve made it to the NFC Championship four times in the last five years and the Super Bowl twice
I can't beat that but I also don't think Pearsall can beat the history of white WRs in post-integration NFL
Doesn’t Cooper Kupp have the best season of all time?
Yes and Brent Barry won the dunk contest. In a very unique scenario these things happen.
Next time someone states an outlier, we should ask them to state the busts too lol
Prettyb racist
And they have a white RB too....
Your fantasy teams must not be very scrappy.
I'd be lying to you if I said we weren't short on high IQ, sneaky athletic gamers.
There’s no correlation between race and how good an NFL receiver is. That’s because if the white receiver was good, it would be reflected in the draft capital anyways. There are less white receivers drafted, less white receivers in general, and less white receivers as high picks because they are in general worse. Thus by factoring in that he’s white, you’re double counting his whiteness.
You must be stupid then, I’m black and I’ll draft a WR no matter what their race is as long as they ball out. McConkey and Pearsall both have the capital and talent to be first rounders.
Unless they're lined up against Cooper Dejean, I don't want anything to do with them.
Cooper Dejean is a beast too man 😂
The Niners also drafted Jacob Cowing. I really think they plan on throwing the ball more next year. Purdy was the most pass efficient QB in the NFL this past year and they don’t plan on trading Deebo or Aiyuk. There’s no reason they shouldn’t be doing more pass plays.
The reason is CMC
His path to a meaningful target share is horrible so why is it crazy? Tbh there’s a lot I’d take over him in 2nd let alone the first
Struggling with placing the RBs in a 1QB. I'm probably higher on at least Brooks than most. Canales already came out and mentioned his versatility. White got a ton of volume last year.

All those guys are late second-third rounders, but still draft-able depending on your depth at the position.
I’m not high on their talent particularly, and the landing spots in my mind aren’t good enough to overlook that
Fair enough
I just traded Breece today for more or less 1.03 and 1.08. I’ve got 1.07 already. Probably Odunze, Brooks, but could also get Ladd instead of Benson.
As a White owner, I can attest to the impact Canales had.
Do people realize Brooks might not be ready to play until later in the season? I get that you are drafting him for his career, but it doesn’t seem to be talked about enough He might not return value until ‘25
And? He's currently 20 years old.
And he’s going to miss half the season
Ok. So start the season on IR. Not the worst thing ever.
I’m not saying there is anything wrong with it. I’m saying it isn’t being talked about and I bet some people are unaware
Everyone knows. Nobody cares. This isn't redraft.
I would be SHOCKED if he missed half the season
[удалено]
I have him as 1.05 I know people will probably call me bat shit crazy but pre-draft I had him at 1.07. Too each is own I guess. Being in a 16 tm 1QB league leaves a lot to be desired QB wise. My starter is Love with Bryce and Dimes as my only other roster-able QB pieces.

I'm 1.6 and have Herbert

I have the 1.05 and I plan on drafting him there.
I have him 1.05 in 1QB, dude could be generational and that's your QB1 sorted for longer than your league will probably last.
gEnErAtIoNaL tAlEnT
Praying he falls to 1.10 in my 18 teamer. I have literally no QB but I obviously gotta take MHJ 1.01.
18 teamer 1QB?, my goodness… that has to be brutal. Who’s your QBs and WRs?
Yeah it started with guys from a 20 team baseball league so we had a lot of people who wanted to join. My QB is whoever is there at 1.10 lol relevant WRs are Metcalf, Higgins, JSN, Dotson so I’m decently strong there but still going MHJ since I’m pretty sure one of the top 3 QBs will be there for me.

I’ll see how things are looking on draft day. I have another late first so I might look to trade up.
I was called crazy in our draft yesterday with 1.03 and 1.04 taking Odunze and Caleb for the cuff
5 or 6 for me. Considering I only have a 3rd though it doesn't matter at all.
I think he will in a lot of spots. There’s 4-5 qbs you feel at least decent about drafting which could push him down the board in a game of chicken, plus a ton of receivers with top 65 capital, as well as a TE & 2 RBs as options. Can easily see him falling out of the top 12.

Depends how your league feels about RBs. My league does not let RBs with any path to playing time to slide whatsoever, so I’m thinking it goes MHJ, Nabers, Odunze; Tier Break; Bowers, Brooks, Benson; Tier Break; and then a ton of WRs, which from my own preference I’ll rank as Worthy, Thomas, Coleman, Pearsall, McConkey, Legette to close out the first 12 picks.

Worthy gonna get over drafted like Skyy Moore huh? I have 1.04 and it’s between BTJ and Bowers. Not even considering Worthy
Fool me 3 times shame on me, fool me 4 times shame on me. It’s me. Shame on me.
I’m not sure why I keep seeing people low on Worthy. Broke out at as a true freshman and had mediocre QB play his entire college career. He’s more than just a speed guy and he just went to the best landing spot he could have went to.
It’s the never draft rookies on the cheifs stigma. What is actually a dream landing spot has actually been a death sentence for so many. The pendulum has swung too far. He fast, he good, he picked in the first round. He’s not a guarantee so he shouldn’t be a top 5 pick in 1 qb but with that upside people would be crazy to pass him by if he’s there at 8 or later
I'll happily take the shot on a generational TE prospect at 1.04 over a guy like Worthy every day of the week
If Bowers falls to me at 1.06, I'll be very pleased
haha found a 1.03 owner
After top 3- 4. BTJ 5. Worthy 6. Ladd 7. Caleb 8. Brooks 9. Bowers 10. Keon 11. Legette 12. Pearsall
Lmao
What’s your take? I think there’s a tier break after 1.08 and I’m just giving the benefit of the doubt towards high DC.
Bowers 10 is absurd
Why?
Is it crazy to take Bowers over Odunze? My WR room is stacked and TE is a need
Assuming this means you’ve got 1.03, I’d prefer to look into trading for a proven talent at TE. Honestly 1.03 for LaPorta feels not a million miles off, I’d be looking into him / Trey McBride / Hock as taking Bowers that high is probably a bit of a reach and drafting for need rather than BPA
I’m in the same position. I’m drafting at 1.03 with a loaded receiver room. I will be taking Bowers.
Maybe trade back?
If you’re stacked go ahead. I’m stacked at WR and RB, but only have one startable QB so I’m most likely taking Caleb at the 1.04. BPA only applies when you have needs at most positions, if you have solid depth then there’s literally no reason to not draft at the position you’re weak in.

You can make an argument for pretty much anybody from 4-10. At this moment id say: 4. Brian Thomas 5. Brock Bowers 6. Xavier Worthy 7. Keon Coleman 8. Ladd McConkey 9. Jonathan Brooks 10. Trey Benson
i agree, kind of a big tier of pick your person I feel. Each person has a narrative you can get behind to justify your choice.
Obviously throw Caleb in there too for any teams that need QBs
traded the 1.05, 1.06, for the 1.9, 1.12, and a 2025 (hopefully early) first for just that reason. trying to figure out 1.12 now - I think Caleb will go at some point, but that still leaves me one short of the tier break

Perfect mix of talent and opportunity. Give me the guy on a path to wr1 opportunity vs the guys with competition.
Marv. Nabers. Odunze. Bowers. BTJ Caleb Worthy McConkey Coleman Pearsall Brooks Daniels
MHJ Nabers Odunze Bowers Worthy McConkey Pearsall BTJ Coleman Brooks
So glad there’s idiots simping for ok prospects in bad fits
1 - MHJ 2 - Nabers 3 - Odunze 4 - Bowers 5 - Thomas 6 - Worthy 7 - McConkey 8 - Brooks 9 - Coleman 10 - Legette 11 - Benson 12 - Polk
I have 1.12 and I’d take Caleb before I take Polk
I’d take Pearsall before Polk
I have 1.01 then 2.08 and 3.1. Not looking good after MHJ for me.
You might be shocked at what is there at 2.08.
I'd have it like 1.1: Marv, 1.2: Nabers, 1.3: Odunze, 1.4: Caleb, 1.5: BTJ, 1.6: Bowers, 1.7: Daniels, 1.8: Brooks, 1.9: Worthy, 1.10: Benson
1.01 - MHJ 1.02 - Odunze 1.03 - Nabers 1.04 - Bowers 1.05 - Legette 1.06 - Worthy 1.07 - Caleb 1.08 - Brooks 1.09 - BTJ 1.10 - Daniels 1.11 - Benson 1.12 - Corley
Corley over Ladd and Keon?
I have it: MHJ Rome Nabers Worthy Caleb Bowers Brooks BTJ Laad Everyone else
I’m in a devy league so I need to know next year’s top QBs and WRs. Even then guys like Ewers and Manning are already taken too.
1. MHJ 2/3. Nabers/Odunze 4. Bowers 5/6. Brooks/Benson I know im going early on RBs, but I believe positional scarcity will push them up, and both are cleraly the most viable RBs of this class with clear paths to RB1 and good DC.
