*ADP Data Disclaimer
It is difficult to capture accurate ADP data during this period of draft season.
To acquire accurate ADP data beyond pick 345 requires using Draft Champions (DC) ADP. DC ADP mostly consists of slow (extended) drafts with 2- or 4-hour pick times, which take approximately 2 weeks to complete. Hence, ADP can’t keep up with volatile risers and fallers.
Example: Massive ADP vs. VDP differences in Trevor Megill (increased) and Luke Weaver (decreased), as a result of the Devin Williams trade.
Once we get into January and February, when quick drafts and 12-team OCs are more frequent, the ADP data will be more agile and easier to assess against VDP rankings. Please reach out to me on FTN Discord private message if you have questions about specific players.
