Sitting on a bunch of 2027 rookie draft picks feels like you're sitting on gold. But is it? Are they overpriced? Why are they valued the way that they are? And should you avoid trading them at all costs? No matter the scenario, we're going to answer all that and more. This is the Dynasty Points Podcast and it starts right now.
Hello, everybody, and welcome back to the Dynasty Points podcast. I'm excited to have Ryan Heath joining me, Jakob Sanderson from somewhere on the globe that I probably... Nima, Nima Peru. There we go. And he's still locked in, taking time. He brought the recording equipment to avoid recording with AirPods for everybody's eardrums to bring you more fantastic content here on the Dynasty YouTube channel here for Fantasy Points. Guys, a fun show today. We have been thinking about how to get back to our roots here a little bit. And this theory type show is exactly what we do best. So this is what we're doing today. We are going to talk about the 2027 draft class, sort of. We're going to talk about the 2027 draft picks because, well, even the Patriots know they don't want to trade 2027 first for a wide receiver. In fact, they chose to trade their 2028 first round draft pick for a wide receiver. So we are seeing this play out in real time in the NFL, and we are definitely seeing it play out in our dynasty league. So let's break it down. First question of the day that I think is really important to kick this off is.
2027 draft picks, why exactly are they valuable? And I will start here with Jakob.

Yeah, so 2027 picks, obviously incredibly, incredibly exciting if you have them. Everybody is very pumped about this draft class.
One of the reasons why we have been arguing that you should be targeting 27 picks for over a year now is that at the very least, there was going to come a time when the perception on the 2027 class spread from your Lucas's, the devy nerds of the world, to being more in the overall public consciousness of more and more dynasty managers. So even if the 2027 class in April of 2027 or two years after that does not turn out to be quite as good as it was hyped to be, it was almost inevitable from basically the moment that Jeremiah Smith walked onto a football field, that there was going to come a time when everyone started to treat 2027 picks as gold. And the question now is, do you keep that cake in the oven, continue to bake and pull it out and eat it, or is it time to sell high, already capitalizing on the more broad perception of these 2027 picks? And looking at the class, there's still a lot of uncertainty because we're overly about a year out.
My view is that there's one player, I'm 1,000 million percent sure, is as advertised. Jeremiah Smith, just utterly ridiculous. We're talking about a guy with 3.82 yards per team pass attempt per game as a freshman, which is a higher mark as a peak mark than any of the wide receivers in this class that we talked about through all of our rookie content hit ever. And he did that as a freshman on a team with the fourth overall pick in last year's draft, who was older than him on that team, and Mecheg Buka, who's currently a top 12 Dynasty wide receiver, who was 3 years older than him at the time. And he just absolutely wiped those guys off the face of the earth.
