The Obvious Selections :
Day #1 Recap
**Both Travon Walker to Jaguars and Aiden Hutchinson to Lions were no real surprise at #1 and #2 overall picks. Both will have ample opportunity to wreck havoc for their respective NFL homes immediately. Both are fine Individual Defensive Players (IDPs) to target relatively early in Dynasty Fantasy Football Leagues. My hunch is that Travon Walker will be the better real life football player while, Aiden Hutchinson will be the superior Fantasy Producer due to Detroit being such a bad team since Barry Sanders (Wait…they sucked then too!)
**Derek Stingley to Texans and Sauce Gardner to Jets provide each NFL team with quality young Cornerbacks to their respective defensive units. My personal opinion, is that it was a bit early to select these players. But, most Fantasy Football minded enthusiast can’t wait to see the Offensive skilled players go off the NFL Draft Board often and EARLY! It was very apparent that the 2022 NFL teams heavily favored improving their Defensive units primarily. Stingley and Sauce will be productive fantasy numbers in IDP scoring formats right away. I put my scale on Stingley to best Sauce barring injury for the upcoming season due to him playing for the lowly Houston Texans, while Zac Wilson and the Jets will be more efficient in sustaining drives offensively which will keep the Jets defense on the sidelines often each game, limiting Sauces’ opportunities to Tackle Stats for his IDP owners.
**Kayvon Thibodeaux to the Giants was a solid pick for both the real New York Team as well as Fantasy IDP owners as he will be granted every opportunity he can physically handle and that begets an influx of Fantasy points.
Some eye – opener Selections
**Drake London to Atlanta – I personally thought Garrett Wilson and what he brings to the game, would’ve provided the Falcons with a more polished/complete player at the wide receiver position. Although Drake is a bigger target than Mr. Wilson (and a few other WR options) would’ve provided Mariota with a better product to make an immediate positive impact to sustaining drives in that Depleted Offensive Unit.
**Garrett Wilson to the New York Jets – This selection was a surprise because, the Jets organization actually made a good selection that many analysis in the industry peg as an Elite talent at the position. In addition, The Jets drafted Elijah Moore last season (who I believe is the True Alpha of the two receivers and will be the Number #1 on a weekly basis barring injury). The real winner is the Shot Caller of this greatly improving Offense in Zac Wilson. I peg Zac Wilson as a top #14 QB this season and top #9 come 2023.
**Chris Olave being taken off the draft board as the New Orleans traded up to get their guy. Jameis Winston will be pleased with this speedster but, in many opinions of enthusiasts to include myself, was an unnecessary reach as Olave probably would have fell in their lap by merely staying put.
**Jameson Williams to the Detroit Lions was sad to see. He is probably the best WR talent in this Draft when healthy (Albeit). Lions were wise and almost desperate in moving up the draft board to peg Williams. For fantasy purposes, it’s recommended to target him at the rookie 1.10 to 1.12 and be patient that Detroit will someday draft a Stud QB in real life to get him the ball.
**Jahan Dotson to the Commanders is a ehh – so/so situation. Carson Wentz is happy. He has a speedy receiver that has a great shot to track down his oft overthrown passes.
**Treylon Burks to the Tennessee Titans would’ve been more exciting if AJ Brown was there to draw elite defensive coverage from him. He essentially replaces AJ but, HE AIN’T Mr. Brown. Tannehill never impressed me as an Fantasy Enthusiast, he only surprised me when he performed well. I am still marred by his lackluster performances with the Miami Dolphins.
**Kenny Pickett to the Pittsburgh Steelers selection made me spit my fine wine out as, I just truly believed Malik Willis was destined for the Black and Yellow with his skill set which the Steelers never had with Big Ben. Pickett’s style of play is not exciting for fantasy football statistically because he is a younger more spry Big Ben. Najee Harris and Diontae Harris will thrive from a Fantasy perspective. I believe Trubisky will play well enough to keep Pickett sidelined longer that many Fantasy owners would like.
**Jermaine Johnson II to the New York Jets will be a luxury pick for Fantasy IDP owners waiting to draft youth in the mid to late Fantasy Drafts. He should start immediately for the Jet Defensive Unit.
**Devin Loyd to the Jaguars was a bold move by Jacksonville as they moved up to obtain the defensive services of what many NFL scouts peg as the #1 LB of this class. IDP owners are smiling from ear to ear at this selection. He is a play making machine…which equates to fantasy production.
**Green Bay Packers went DEFENSE at #28 (overall) selecting Devonte Wyatt on defense. Aaron Rodger threw a Good Bottle of Wine through his Residential Man – Cave’s projector – screen at this selection as, He and many observers of this NFL draft projected a WR #1 would be selected for the first time in two decades for the Pack. In my opinion, this move was Lafluer sending a subliminal message to A. Rodgers that he is ultimately in charge of this situation as the Coach of the Packers.
There you have my final thoughts of this strange draft from a Fantasy Perspective. Here at the FantasyGoodeSports community, we remain fluid and versatile with the ever moving parts of the NFL Landscape. We love the draft to indicate many Opportunities for incumbent rookie players of the skilled positions to be selected EARLY and OFTEN such as, QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs. It’s ALLLL GOODE in the hood people. We remained patient and received a more hopeful draft results on Day #2 of the 2022 Draft. That aftermath will come in the future very soon in the upcoming days or even hours. So, Stay tuned for more and even more important, Stay Blessed By The Best.
