Post-draft dynasty rookie value picks

With the draft behind us, dynasty owners can now begin to set their final boards in preparation for rookie drafts this spring and summer. While there is no real post-draft rookie ADP data available yet, those paying close attention to Twitter and the dynasty community can get a sense for the general sentiment about how the general public values these players now that we know their landing spots. Below, I take a look at three players who currently appear to be good value.

A candidate to be over-drafted among rookies prior to his selection by Tennessee, Derrick Henry now seems to be falling in a range behind the top receivers where his risk/reward profile is much more palatable. Once thought of as a surefire lock for the top five of rookie drafts, post-draft rookie mocks have seen Henry falling into the bottom half of the top 10 now that his path to immediate playing time is less clear than expected sharing a backfield with DeMarco Murray.

While I think that his current post-draft standing more accurately reflects his actual value than his pre-draft ADP, I also believe it is shortsighted to consider this such a horrible landing spot and look at him any differently as a dynasty asset because of it.
