Understanding Draft Day Value

NFL draft selections are categorized into day one, day two, and day three, each holding different values in terms of player potential. Day one picks, generally first-round selections, often have higher draft capital and better chances of success compared to day two and day three picks. Although players selected on day two may vary greatly in value, day three selections typically present a lower success rate for fantasy football production. Teams often take more risks with day three picks, as the stakes are lower and they are less pressured to hit on those selections.
