That\u2019s it. <br \/>WR &#8211; Nabers, McLaurin, Doubs, &amp; six guys not worth mentioning. <br \/>TE &#8211; Brock Bowers, Travis Kelce, Theo Johnson. <br \/>And 2026 Rookie Draft slots 2.12 &amp; 4.08.<\/p><p class=\"aLF-aPX-K0-aPE\">The Draft hasn\u2019t been set yet because we\u2019re waiting on half the league to pay up, &amp; they\u2019re in no hurry because literally no one likes any rookie beyond 1.05. I recognized this in the Sleeper chat for this league almost immediately after joining &amp; my plan came to life. I moved my top assets, yes all of them, but now I have Bo Nix, Jordan Love, Aaron Rodgers, &amp; Tyrod Taylor at QB, Cam Skattebo, Quinshon Judkins, &amp; Tyrone Tracy at RB, Jaylen Waddle, Matthew Golden, Alex Pierce, &amp; Dontayvion Wicks (no one would give me a pick for him) at WR, Hunter Henry at TE\u2026 &amp; SEVENTEEN Rookie Draft selections for 2026.<\/p><p class=\"aLF-aPX-K0-aPE\">Although Mock Drafts mean little, especially in a league where I\u2019ve only played with one other Baller previously, one Mocks when they get bored. This Mock would fit perfectly with my plan: 1.08 &#8211; Sadiq; 1.09 &#8211; Coleman; 1.12 &#8211; Stowers; 2.01 &#8211; Singleton; 2.03 &#8211; Bernard; 2.05 &#8211; Allen; 2.06 &#8211; Washington; 2.10 &#8211; Aller; 2.11 &#8211; A Williams; 2.12 &#8211; Lane; 3.01 &#8211; Claiborne; 3.02 &#8211; Fields; 3.06 &#8211; Stribling; 3.11 &#8211; Raridon; 3.12 &#8211; Bell; 4.06 &#8211; C Douglas; 4.08 &#8211; Z Thomas<\/p><p class=\"aLF-aPX-K0-aPE\">The Plan: <br \/>I chose five RBs who all might get a chance to play early in the season. I need three to come through. I chose six WRs who I believe through circumstance might earn fantasy points this season, plus two dart throws for the Taxi at the very end. I chose Aller with a nod &amp; a prayer, &amp; I chose three TEs with complete confidence in Sadiq &amp; Stowers, as well as high hopes for Raridon. As the season progresses &amp; surely enough of this ALL NEW GENERATION roster showing up to attract attention? I\u2019m going to flip some into \u201827 picks because oh by the way a 3 &amp; two 4\u2019s are what I have there.<br \/><br \/>Rinse. Repeat. Compete in \u201828.<\/p><p class=\"aLF-aPX-K0-aPE\">And that is the symphony that Dynasty Fantasy Football can be.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of our project to attract eyes with entertainment value, I was looking for an Orphan Dynasty team to take over as a challenge to document how I go about rebuilding an abandoned team.
