This all day long. I regularly try to flip late 1sts this year for top half firsts the following. Many teams are eager for this year’s rookies, and those who are patient and willing to wait will reap the rewards.abloom wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 5:37 pm I primarily play in 14 team SF dynasty leagues. In those leagues I have 13 first round graded players, but I'm not really interested in trading up unless someone significantly falls. I'm primarily looking to move back or out entirely. I think there are lots of players that I think have a chance of improving their value between now and start of the regular season so I'm grabbing those guys in the late 2nd and third.
I have 2 shares of Penix because in both cases I had the roster space to wait for him, and in a 14 team SF I'm going to draft a top 10 NFL drafted QB that had rumors of being targets by other teams. In leagues like my 12 team FFPC dynasty leagues (play like a large keeper league) I have zero interest in Penix.
I have only 1 first round RB (brooks) and only 1 first round TE (Bowers). The other first round graded players are 6 QBs (Caleb, Daniels, Maye, McCarthy, Penix, Nix) and 5 WRs (MHJ, Nabers, Odunze, Worthy, BTJ), generally at least 2-3 of these guys are making it to the second round but I'm not getting enough of a discount to move up from later in the 2nd, so I'm primarily looking at moving back.
I think that the drop between Caleb and the other top 2 qbs (Daniels and Maye) is a lot less than the drop off between Maye and McCarthy. Penix I would have higher than McCarthy if I was sure he would play this year or even next year. Nix I have as basically the guy I'll draft because he was drafted in the first 15 and is a QB. I don't think he's going to succeed but he has a better chance at a more impactful position than other players.
I have about 14-15 guys with second round grades. these are players I hope will either (1) develop into a flex player or (2) someone that I can flip in the next 2 years for a first rounder. I think there are several RBs in this range but no QBs or TEs. Its definitely RB and WR heavy.
I'm happy to flip my late first for 25 firsts to teams that are not legit championship contenders.
For team #3 in signature, day of draft I actually moved my 25 1st for the 1.12 (I'm back to back defending champ, I should be a top 3 team this year, so I'm trading the 1.12 in 2025 for the 1.12 in 2024). On the clock Worthy was still there (and someone else, but don't remember who), I ended up just flipping the pick for someone else's 2025 1st (a bottom half team). As long as I do better than them this season its a net win anyways, but I just saw no reason to go with Worthy when I can move it to potentially a better pick next year.
Honestly the biggest thing I'm seeing this year, in 14 team SF leagues (again i'm in 4 of those) Penix and Nix are highly undervalued and someone in the early 2nd is possibly gaining a huge asset in a year or so.
The best is when you have a bunch of firsts. You can pick your guys… then most likely flip the later picks you don’t want to other teams at a value. Then rinse and repeat.
