The 2023 NFL draft is upon us, and it’s time to start preparing for how you will manage your rookie drafts. Landing spots will settle some of the questions we have about these prospects. Still, it is best to get a general idea about how each prospect is valued regarding their film study grade, analytics, and overall projection on our dynasty rosters.
Each prospect is graded based on several criteria, but the marriage of film and analytics helps determine how they should be valued in dynasty leagues. Combine data was obtained by steelersdepot.com and RAS.
