BIG BOARD DYNASTY

Class 2022 · first three seasons finished · 2026-11-11

The 2022 dynasty rookie class: expectation vs reality

About 1 in 5 of this class became a hit, about the same as a typical class. James Cook (RB) is the biggest riser.

Class 2022 means the players picked in the 2022 NFL draft. Hits and busts count their 2022-2024 seasons (all three are finished). "Two years later" means value in 2024.

So what: out of every 10 2022 rookies, 2 hit and 5 busted; James Cook is the biggest riser.

    out of every 10 rookies

Hit: a top-24 RB or WR season, or a top-12 QB or TE season, in his first three years.

Bust: never a top-36 season, and worth under a quarter of his draft-day value three years in.

In between: everyone else.

Hit: a top-24 RB or WR season, or a top-12 QB or TE season, in his first three years.

Bust: never a top-36 season, and worth under a quarter of his draft-day value three years in.

In between: everyone else.

About these numbers

We compare what the market expected from each rookie on rookie-draft day with how he did over his first three NFL seasons. A hit is a top-end season, a bust never had one and lost most of his value, and everyone else is in between. Only classes whose three seasons are over count in the headline numbers. The full method is in our public notes. A dash in a later-year column means that date has not arrived yet, and 0 means he is no longer valued.

Values come from the market, Sleeper season totals and nflverse draft capital.
