Startup Finished - Is my roster competitive?

[hoos89]

I just finished a startup (team 3 in sig) and think I did pretty well considering that I now have four 1sts (one of which I project early).

Do you see this team as a possible contender? And given the current state of my roster, would you:

A) Attempt to buy more 1sts (particularly from teams that look to be less competitive this season)
B) Sell 1 or more 1sts in order to plug a hole (RB2 and TE come to mind)
C) Stand pat for now and see how the first few weeks play out

I would hold your picks. You can reinvent your RB core with the 2020 1st round picks. As the season approaches, I would try and move: L. Miller, Anderson and Ito and keep building for 2020. I dont view this roster as a contender at all. Thomas is a big piece to build around.

Because of the starting requirements there are a lot of teams starting nobodies at 2 or 3 spots. I think I'd probably make the playoffs if I don't do anything (and Gurley's leg doesn't fall off).

I did not factor in the large starting requirements. If you make it into the playoffs, anything can happen as we all know. I would still hold your picks next year as it could help separate your depth a bit. And yes, Gurley's knee is a big question mark ha ha.

I'm hoping he gets off to a hot start so I can sell high. I was not targeting him, but he fell to 2.09. I do feel like I'm kind of in no-man's land right now with 4 firsts and a team that has solid depth but lacks the top-end strength to win a title this season without a fair bit of luck.

I think you should get a championship this year out of your head. If it happens, great, but focus on making there be no doubt you are a contender for the next 3-5 years after next year’s draft. I would keep your 2020 firsts, and continue to focus on making equitable trades without thinking about “need” for this year.

Yeah I'm thinking of poking around with some of the owners whose rosters I consider to be a bit weaker to see if they will sell their 2020 1sts at random 2020 1st value.

If everything breaks right, you are a contender. Gurley=knee/Tarik=starter/Miller=still starter/Watkins=no Hill and healthy.
I would always try to acquire 1sts from less competitive teams.
I wouldn’t be selling 1sts this early.

Honestly playoffs are possible title probably not. I'd honestly shop Gurley see what you get offered but take no less then 2 1st and a starter. But hang on to 2020 first you will be loaded after that draft plenty of wr and rb coming out there.

I think I need to wait on selling Gurley until the season starts. League was pretty openly disparaging of him while he was falling during the draft. For the record, I think the best starting lineup in the league is:

Jimmy Garoppolo
Devonta Freeman
Damien Williams
DeAndre Hopkins
AJG
Brandin Cooks
George Kittle
Rashaad Penny
Matt Breida
Curtis Samuel

(Plus he has Kareem Hunt...but has no 2020 picks)
