Where Are the Value Areas in 2022 Rookie Drafts? A 3-Round Superflex Projection

Shawn Siegele
May 2, 2022

Shawn Siegele projects the first three rounds of 2022 superflex rookie drafts.

RotoViz TriFlex dynasty leagues over at the FFPC will begin drafting rookies this weekend. Across the dynasty landscape, drafts are starting today as managers celebrate the conclusion of 2022 draft season. The best time of the NFL calendar is here.

It was a whirlwind weekend for me. Ben Gretch and I covered the draft in more than 14 hours of live stream this weekend. A big thanks to everyone who followed along with us on YouTube and kept us going with hilarious, insightful, and encouraging comments. Three of the episodes have already released in podcast form for Stealing Bananas listeners.

We also held our 2022 RotoViz Rookie Rankings Summit on Saturday night. It was a blast to debate rankings and participate in mock drafts with Blair Andrews, Dave Caban, Curtis Patrick, and Travis May. Volume 3 of the world famous Rookie Guide came out last night and will help you crush your opponents in drafts this week and across the summer.

Blair, Dave, and Michael Hitchcock brought you draft reaction pieces as the draft was ongoing, with an assist from Conor O’Driscoll. What’s the best way to access all of this information? How about in the form of a three-round, Superflex rookie draft projection where I discuss the players and link you to our research.

To be clear, these aren’t my rankings. This is where I believe the rookies will end up after the dynasty community fully digests last weekend’s proceedings. I’m not always right about this, but I’ve found the interaction between where I believe players will go and where they actually go ends up being exploitable even before I include my own rankings in the mix.
