2020 Rookie Draft Winners & Losers (Preview)
John Holler - 4/26/2020
Often times, assigning draft grades is an exercise in futility. What on paper looks like an outstanding draft at the time picks are made can turn out to be disastrous. The reality is that only about half of the first-round picks made pan out to be star players for years in the NFL.
Many factors can come into play – a change in coaching staff that changes a scheme, injuries, off-field issues, etc. – that make the draft an annual crapshoot that sees some organizations rise and others fall. To be honest, it typically takes two years to determine whether a specific draft class was successful.
That being said, from what we know now with one of the deepest top end draft classes in years, these are who we believe were the winners and losers of the unprecedented virtual draft of 2020.

Testimonials
-- Brian Hammond
"I began using FFM in the late 1990s. For 20+ years they were an extremely valuable resource, as I enjoyed great success in my league during that period. Unfortunately, my league came to an end during the Covid years, and I stopped subscribing to FFM. After a year without Fantasy Football, I started looking into online sports betting and quickly realized FFM could again become a valuable source of information for prop bets on individual players. I resumed my subscription with FFM and have not looked back. FFM is clearly a dual threat; they can severely increase your odds of success in both fantasy leagues as well as prop betting. I almost feel guilty with the tremendous returns I get from such a modest investment in FFM."
