Devy question

[Needalife]

Need some devy help. 14 team SF TE Prem. For team in sig, should I make this deal?
Give: Trey Benson + 1.11 (depleted rookie draft with devy)
Get: 1.02 (Bryan Thomas Jr, Shedeur, Nix, Jonathan Brooks, etc available)

[MacDaddy123]

Yeah, I would. Shedeur is probably the highest value piece here in a 14 team SF league.
I would prefer Arch Manning or Nico Iamaleava over Shedeur if available, just have to wait 1 more year.

I am hoping to land Bryce Underwood with my 1.04 pick, but Shedeur, Manning, and Iamaleava are already taken in my league.

I'm not doing this deal to move up and take Sanders. I can see the argument on Brian Thomas. IMO the best approach in devy is either to take clearly elite prospects or place several smaller bets. None of those devies is clearly elite. I don't buy Sanders - letting someone else take him. Maybe after we see '25 I could get on board. Not yet - and not with the 1.02.

However if you feel that Thomas is in a tier by himself as WR4 in this class, I can see moving up to take him. It's probably an overpay but I can see the case for wanting to de-risk.

I think I have Benson and Bryan Thomas Jr pretty close. So the 1.11 on top feels like it might be a lot. Maybe Thomas is 1.08 in SF-non-devy and Benson is 1.10-1.12 range. This is year 2 of devy. 35 players were selected last year so a lot of good college guys are available plus J Daniels, Thomas Jr, McConkey, Nix, Franklin, Keon Coleman and most guys ranked in that range or later.

Well if you think Benson is close to BTJ, then I would look at RB's coming out in 2025 if you are a RB guy.
2025 will be a strong RB class, much better than the 2024 RB class.
Go after Judkins, Singleton, Henderson, Gordon, etc.
All should be better than Benson, IMO.

The strength of the 24 class is QB and WR, the strength of the 25 class is RB.
Usually, in SF leagues, I spend my 1st round pick on a QB though.

Thanks to all for your help. Right now, Judkins and Henderson are gone. I have Singleton (team in sig). Gordon will be available. Arch is gone. Given the 14-team SF format, I figured it might be worth the move up for Sanders although Iamaleava, Weigman, Beck and the incoming freshmen will be available and one or more will fall to 1.11 and then I am keeping Benson.
