    Finding Rookie Sleepers Before the Draft with Alfredo Brown

    Alfredo Brown of the Pretend GM joins Jeff Blaylock to dig into the 2026 rookie class — not the names everyone already knows, but the players worth targeting in rounds 2, 3, and beyond. Knowing which late-round prospects have real upside versus which ones are just names on a sheet can mean the difference between a dynasty-winning stash and wasted roster space.

A must-listen before your rookie draft.

    Free Agency Fallout: Buy/Sell/Hold with Alan Seslowsky

    Jeff Blaylock and RotoWire's Alan Seslowsky return for Part II of their conversation, working through every significant free agency mover and what it means for your dynasty roster before the NFL Draft arrives. Knowing which players to buy now, which to hold, and which to trade away before the market catches up is the difference between a dynasty offseason well-spent and one you'll regret. They close with a look at which veteran players are about to get kneecapped by the incoming rookie class — and how both hosts are planning to use their picks in the degenerate four-quarterback league they share.

    Pre-Draft Dynasty Trade Strategy with Alan Seslowsky

    The window between free agency and the NFL Draft may be the most underrated trade market of the dynasty calendar, and most managers are either frozen or making the wrong moves. Jeff Blaylock sits down with RotoWire's Alan Seslowsky to break down how to think about this moment and shares his philosophy of running into the burning building.  In Part 1 of this two-episode series, Jeff and Alan discuss who to target before the market catches up and why waiting for the draft usually costs you more than it saves. They also dig into the 2027 pick hype, the Alec Pierce sleeper case, Kyler vs JJ, Jaylen Waddle's prospects in Denver, and why Kenneth Walker's dynasty value is more complicated than it appears. Topics Include Why the post-free agency, pre-draft window is an undervalued trade marketAlan's philosophy of running into the burning buildingDented cans & broken toys: names worth a second lookThe 2027 pick hype: legitimate signal or dynasty groupthink?Alec Pierce: overlooked dynasty riser right now?How coaching changes create buy and sell opportunities dynasty managers are missingJaylen Waddle's upside in Denver and what it means for the whole offenseKenneth Walker: cash out into the Super Bowl MVP hype, or hold?Chapters/Timestamps 00:00 – That Crazy League We're In Together 05:04 – Should You Ever Rebuild, or Always Go for It? 09:54 – Grading the Offseason Chaos 12:59 – Run Into the Burning Building 17:39 – Dented Cans & Broken Toys 21:09 – Bench Size Changes Everything 24:52 – The 2027 Class Hype: Real or Overblown? 29:14 – The Counterintuitive Play for an 8th Place Team 31:26 – Offseason Storylines We're Sleeping On 36:30 – The Case for Buying Productive Vets Now 39:24 – Jaylen Waddle's Opportunity in Denver 44:38 – Kenneth Walker: Cash Out or Hold? 50:32 – Juggling Leagues & Platforms 55:37 – On Agentic AI: "I Saw War Games" Links Mentioned RotowireSiriusXM Fantasy Sports RadioFollow Alan on Twitter/XJeff's Dynasty Rankings at Footballguys Follow Jeff on Twitter/XSupport the Show If you enjoy Dynasty Compass, please consider subscribing, leaving a five-star rating, and sharing the show with another dynasty manager.

    The Rookie Draft Pick Where Everything Changes

    Dynasty rookie draft picks look sequential — but they are not created equal. Knowing where the gaps are located lets you trade for value and avoid traps. In this episode of Dynasty Compass, Jeff Blaylock breaks down the hidden value cliffs that divide rookie drafts into distinct probability bands. Using nine years of ADP data and rookie performance outcomes, Jeff explains why the 1.01 stands alone, how much value the first 16 picks historically produce, how likely you'll draft a fantasy starter, and why the largest value cliff in the entire rookie draft occurs between picks 2.04 and 2.05. Understanding where these cliffs exist can help dynasty managers trade down intelligently, capture additional value, and avoid the traps that cause managers to overpay for perceived certainty. Topics Include Why rookie draft picks have no inherent valueDraft pick bands vs rookie tiersThe unique value of the 1.01Historical hit rates by rookie draft pickThe 2.04 vs 2.05 “Grand Canyon” value dropHow your rookie draft is really two draftsTrading down to gain dynasty valueChapters / Timestamps 00:00 The Dirty Secret of Rookie Draft Picks 03:02 The Lottery Ticket Problem 04:18 What Draft Picks Actually Guarantee 06:33 Certainty vs Flexibility in Rookie Drafts 08:50 Draft Pick Bands vs Rookie Tiers 10:06 This Year's 1.03-1.05 12:51 How the Research Was Built 16:27 The Rookie Draft Pick Bands 17:54 Why the 1.01 Is Unique 19:54 Expected Value by Pick Range 23:23 The 2.04 vs 2.05 Chasm 29:05 Example Dynasty Trades 32:52 The Strategy: Trade Down Within Bands Resources Mentioned in the Show Episode 25 - Draft or Trade? 1-Round Rookie Mock with Heath CummingsFootballguys Rookie Draft GuideDynasty League Football Jeff's Dynasty RankingsFollow Jeff on Twitter/XSupport the Show If you enjoy Dynasty Compass, please consider subscribing, leaving a five-star rating, and sharing the show with another dynasty manager.
