IDP roster analysis and help

[Sedgefield]

Looking for some insight on this roster. I clearly flopped this last season and already picked up some underperformers towards the deadline (Watkins, Miller) and played the wire hard for a lot of my IDPs. Should I hold on to these guys and see how they fair next year or start packaging them up for upgrades and picks?

1 QB: Ryan, Rivers, Cutler
2-4 RB: Miller/Hunt, Lat Murray/Richard
3-5 WR: ARob, Watkins, Perriman, Garcon, Hogan, VJax, Louis
1-3 TE: Allen, JT, Miller
1 PK:
1-2 DT: Hankins, Hargrave, Butler
2-3 DE: DLawrence, Richardson, Spence, Nassib, Ngakoue
3-4 LB: Levy, Preston Brown, Dansby, Bradham, Lawson, Jatavis Brown, Cory James, Dupree, Elandon Roberts, Irvin, Kwiatkowski, Brothers
1-2 CB: T. Johnson, Slay, Talib, Howard
2-3 S: Thomas, McDougald, Killebrew

Picks: 1.01, 3.01, 6.10, 7.10

Offense: 12 team PPR scoring, TDs 4 points
DT-DE: 3 points for tackles, 1.5 for assists, 1.5 for sacks, 1 point for TFL, 1 point for PD, 4 points for int
LB: 1.75 points for tackles, 0.85 for assist, 2 points for sack, 4 points for FF, 1 point for PD, 3 points for int
CB-S: 2 points for tackles, 1 point for assist, 2 for sacks, 3 for FF, 1.5 for PD, 4 for int

I may have missed it, but how many guys do you need to cut? I'll help you out for sure, but it's hard to answer so many questions from 1 post

Totally forgot roster requirements lol

roster limit is 55 and I am currently at 42 so I don't need to cut anyone at this point. Just looking at who I can package together for upgrades or picks and who I should hold.

[lukkynumber13]

I wouldn't keep any of your CBs during the offseason, other than maybe Trumaine.

Looks like it's not very rewarding of sacks, so I would cut loose Dupree & Irvin

If I drop these CB/Ss I'll have to wait for the week before the season starts to fill up those roster spots so I would much rather hold who I have. Also, I have enough open roster spots to keep them and use my draft picks.

I am looking more for advice on who I can package together for player upgrades not who to drop.

I totally understand having no need to cut anyone being that you are 13 players under limit. However, you ask a fair question about which players can be consolidated for "above replacement level" starters. I would consider this:

1) Package Hargrave and Butler to a DT-needy team with DE2 depth (you project ? to break out). Never roster more than 2 DTs in this format. Always start just one.
2) Package DLawrence, Richardson, Ngakoue for a DE1. Start 2 DEs and roster 4 throughout the year.
3) Keep Levy on the chance he resumes 100% snaps circa 2014. Package Brown, Dansby, Bradham, Cory James, Dupree, Irvin to an LB-needy team for whatever you want. Hopefully, you can net an LB1 plus something. You'll run 4LBs every week, but you'll watch the player pool like a freakin' hawk year-round for depth.
4) Package all of you CBs for another good safety. You'll be running 1CB and 3S in that format, so never house more than 1 CB, and I mean don't find one until Sep 1st.

I'm not advocating for gambling here. These are safe moves if you are just playing the percentages. Sometimes you get unlucky, but you can also be very lucky. I'd rather be lucky than good.

Thanks for the input! I put some of these offers out yesterday and so far, they have all been rejected. Only one counter which I am considering:

I give: J. Brown, Hargrave, Richardson
I get Barwin, Clinton-Dix, 3.02

I did have another counter but it's not even worth posting.

[lukkynumber13]

Really hard to consolidate IDP talent unless it's top tier guys

[bruiser]

Barwin headed for free agency and likely signed to be 3-4 OLB with his new team.

[Sedgefield]

Or this:

I give: Kwiatkowski, James, Jat Brown, Bradham
I get: Lavonte David

[lukkynumber13]

Or this:

I give: Kwiatkowski, James, Jat Brown, Bradham

I would do that.
