This is Part 2 of our combined 2026 vs 2027 dynasty rookie mock draft. In Part 1, we put both classes on the same board and tested the narrative that the 2027 class is the gold standard while 2026 is underwhelming. In this episode, we move into Rounds 3 and 4, where the board tightens and the differences in how people value these classes really start to show up.  This mock features four drafters from Devy Dojo, with both the 2026 and 2027 classes eligible at every pick. No presets, no positional constraints, and no separating the classes.  Rounds 3 and 4 are where dynasty value is often decided. This is the range where depth gets tested, opinions diverge, and class narratives either hold up or start to crack once the obvious names are gone. Throughout the episode, we discuss: How depth between the two classes comparesWhere positional value shifts as the board tightens Which players gain or lose leverage beyond the top tier How Devy/dynasty managers should think about future rookie picks

The dynasty community has spent the last year saying the same thing: the 2027 rookie class is elite and the 2026 class is underwhelming. Instead of debating it in theory, we put both classes on the same board and let the values speak for themselves. In this episode, we run a combined 2026 vs 2027 dynasty rookie mock draft, with both classes eligible at every pick. This allows us to directly compare how the top of each class stacks up when real draft capital is on the line, rather than viewing each class in isolation. This is Rounds 1 and 2 of the combined mock. Once we got into the board, there were too many players we liked to rush through, so Rounds 3 and 4 will be covered in the next episode. Throughout the draft, we break down: -How the top-end talent in 2026 compares to the star power of 2027 -Where positional value shifts between the two classes -What Dynasty managers and Devy players should be thinking about when allocating future rookie picks -How early scouting and class-wide knowledge creates leverage in dynasty leagues

For this episode, Dustin and Chris independently watched film on three 2026 prospects -- Robert Henry Jr (RB), Ted Hurst (WR), and Justin Joly (TE) — before comparing notes and breaking down where the market may be missing value. The goal wasn’t to chase hype, but to evaluate traits, usage, and projection through a scouting lens to determine which players could emerge as legitimate dynasty sleepers in the class. Perfect for re-builders, pick holders, and dynasty managers looking to get ahead of the market early.

Rebuilders have been eyeing the 2026 draft and gauging what their rookie picks are worth as dynasty playoffs continue. We ran a 2-round 2026 dynasty rookie mock draft to test whether this class is truly as weak as the narrative suggests — or if value is being overlooked. Perfect for teams holding picks, planning trades, or deciding whether to buy into the 2026 class right now.

If the season ended today, how would the first round of your dynasty rookie draft look? The Devy Dojo is putting it to the test. Sensei and Shifu walk pick by pick through a 12-player Superflex mock — resetting the board through the first month of the season.  From John Mateer’s meteoric rise (and sudden injury news), to Jonah Coleman powering Washington, Jordyn Tyson staking his WR1 claim, and Justice Haynes proving the rumors of his demise were overblown — this class is already shifting fast. We’re talking risers, fallers, and the value plays you need to keep an eye on if you want to stay ahead of your league.  Who’s worth the 1.01 today? Who’s sliding out of range? And what does it mean for your dynasty portfolio going forward? Hit play, step into the Dojo, and see how the board looks through today’s lens.

This week in the Devy Dojo, we’re tackling one of the toughest questions in the game: when a star QB stumbles, do you buy the dip… or cut bait before things get worse?  From DJ Lagway’s nightmare against LSU to Arch Manning’s shaky mechanics, we’re breaking down whether these slow starts are buying opportunities or red flags. We’ll also cover Garrett Nussmeier, LaNorris Sellers, Sam Leavitt, and Drew Allar — analyzing their PFF data, tape notes, and where the market is moving. Then we shift gears into listener-submitted trades. You sent in your best (and boldest) Devy deals, and we’ll tell you where the value lies. Who won, who lost, and what you can learn to sharpen your own trade strategy.
