Bit of a pet peeve of mine here. I wouldnt peg this team as a favorite but in no way is it 0%. Lotta IFs, but I’d the stars allign? Plenty of WRs with some really high ceilings. If LF and guice are healthy all year and perform? This team could be just fine.

You can have an absolutely stacked team and still have less than 50/50 shot at a title, in my experience.

Anywho, to the original question: I go B-. I would have been looking to make more moves I think. To get an A grade in my book it has to include getting players well past their ADP/rank, or making multiple high value trades. Think you did pretty well to grab Monty and sanders and a 1st next year.

For a 10 team league, your team isn’t what I would consider a strong team, probably on the playoff bubble more likely than not and that’s if you have 6 teams make the playoffs. I would have to think 3 or 4 owners in your league have pretty dominate teams. You don’t have any top tier studs on your team and that is pretty hard to do in a 10 team league. But, I mostly liked your draft, I’m not sold on any of the top rookie WRs and would have taking Sanders and Montgomery. Don’t like Hardman, unless you get points for return yards, nice work getting a 2020 1st rounder for that pick.

If you make the playoffs then your chances of a championship greatly increase from 0%. I am playoff bound with this team and will hold out hope that may young players develop in 2019.

I can’t blame you for having hope in your own team. But as someone who is objective, I give that team like a 5% chance to even make the playoffs.

But that’s okay cause you have a lot of young guys and if you just keep building that can be a good team for a long time.


It’s just going to take a couple years. Good luck!

I am glad I started this post. Great feedback and I appreciate that everyone took the time to share some thoughts. Having the community adding feedback is what puts us ahead of our competitors so thanks again.

2019 Season - I agree I am optimistic with a lot of RB2/WR2 depth on my team and no real RB1/WR1 studs. I believe I have more depth than the other teams in my league and I also have one of the youngest teams in the league. These points should help me compete for the next 3 - 5 years while still holding my early draft picks in 2020 and 2021. Maybe 2019 is just a little too early to win the championship. We do start 2 RB, 2 WR and 3 flex so havings 4 'solid' RB's to choose from and starting Cooper, Golladay, Godwin, Mike Williams and Landry on a weekly basis puts me in very good position and will hold an advantage over the other owners.

2019 Rookie Draft - I read that I reached on McLaurin at pick 22 and yes I did. I did not have another pick until pick 42 so I wanted to get my guy. I think playing with his college QB, his athletic profile and the open depth chart should give McLaurin an opportunity to compete rght away. The players drafted after McLaurin were Mattison, Sternberger, Snell, Jordan Reed and Demarkus Robinson - so I did not miss out on much talent. I know he lacked in college production but I wanted his potential upside since we hold 3 flex positions.

Any thoughts on Rodney Anderson? Do I hold him or shop him to the Mixon owner? I think grabbing him at pick 42 was a nice draft day move.

Well if Anderson dropped so far in the draft he's clearly not that highly valued by the rest of the league, so shopping him is kind of pointless. Before the injuries he was a string contender for #1 RB in this class, and has a lot of talent so you are best just holding for now and seeing if he becomes something.
