Dynasty Market Report — July 27, 2026
The Lede
The 2027 draft pick market is in freefall. Firsts are down nearly 14% to DME 3,607, seconds dropped 20% to DME 1,800, and thirds are off 20% to DME 1,235 — all in a single week. Training camp is doing what it always does: surfacing real, breathing players and making abstract futures look expensive by comparison.
Who's Rising
Six players cracked four-digit DME valuations this week on the strength of early camp buzz, and the names are worth taking seriously. Roschon Johnson leads the group at DME 1,140 after what appears to be a significant role expansion in Chicago's backfield, and Jalin Hyatt (DME 1,094) and Tai Felton (DME 1,096) are neck-and-neck as their respective offenses sort out receiver hierarchies. Rasheen Ali at DME 1,030 is the most intriguing given Baltimore's chronic inability to commit long-term to a single back — buy the opportunity, not the talent ceiling. All six are in the buy window, but Hyatt and Johnson carry the most sustainable upside in terms of landing spot and age profile.
Who's Falling
The picks story dominates, but Kaytron Allen (DME 1,679, -8.9%) and Emmett Johnson (DME 1,764, -8.1%) are flashing quiet buy-low signals as training camp competition applies short-term pressure to their numbers. Brandon Aiyuk's slide to DME 1,344 is more concerning — a -7% drop with no obvious camp redemption narrative in sight suggests lingering uncertainty in San Francisco's offensive structure that isn't resolving itself quickly.
The Move
Sell 2027 picks aggressively and flip them into Roschon Johnson. A 2027 second at DME 1,800 is within realistic reach of Johnson's current DME 1,140 in a one-for-one negotiation with a contender who's already mentally spending future capital. Johnson's age, his Chicago opportunity, and the sheer momentum of a +74% week make him the cleanest conversion target in today's market. Strike before the pick discount closes.
