A QB upgrade would be a big bump, but overall your team is in good shape for another run. A healthy Barkley and a bounce back from Zeke would be huge. Hopefully your picks hit to help, but I dont think there is much to do here but keep pushing forward.

QBs are like gold in this league. How would you feel about drafting Lawrence at 1.11? Does that seem too early or will he be gone?

If TD's for QB's are worth 6 points, I don't think its too early at all. It's funny you mention that, I was having a conversation with my podcast co-host last night off camera about that very question. Again, if TD's are worth 6 points, I often think QB's are too undervalued in that format.

You're in a great position with a good team and picks.

With what I consider pretty shallow starting requirements, I would be looking to consolidate assets to improve my team. I'd be looking to package a player with picks to upgrade. That kind of thing. You could definitely upgrade at QB and TE. I'm not a big fan of paying a lot for QB, but you are in the position to do it. Maybe kick the tires on Lamar Jackson and Dak. Their price has come down, but they should still be elite fantasy options next year. Same goes for Kittle. Kelce and Waller are getting older. Maybe those teams are looking to rebuild...

Pretty early for that, but at this point it doesn't seem crazy. I wouldn't be expecting him to come in and be a top QB as a rookie though. These guys that did it this year are not the norm.

If qbs are gold in your league I doubt Lawrence makes it to 11. In my 12 team league qbs score a ton. I’m prob taking him at 1.04

I agree somewhat. In a couple of my 1qb leagues last draft Burrow went 5th and 10th overall. You kinda have to look at the teams in front of you and think about if they need a QB, or if you know how they draft normally. The guy that took Burrow 10th last year takes a young QB with his 1st or 2nd pick quite often. That said, you could maybe get Zach Wilson later and if he lands in the right location he could be a steal. I wouldn't reach. If TLaw is there at 11 I'd take him given your roster construction, but I wouldn't reach.

I too lost in the championship game. Would’ve been a three peat for me in my 10 team league.

With my team below should I also just hold pat? I get back Barkley, MT, Kittle, Mixon, and OBJ next year plus I have a top 3 pick.

I don't know your QBs are low end QB1 players, so for me that is not dire but yes would draft one of the rookies...

I would look to trade Zeke and JuJu and then with 1.06 pick grab best available and then target TLaw at 1.11

Qb and te are the only positions that can see a drastic upgrade. With your picks and your team I'd be fine drafting lawrence at 6. The value of a player is league dependent and since you don't have glaring holes at rb/wr I'm fine getting lawrence or fields. As for TE I think goedert will be fine but it never hurts to inquire about other tes. Could goedert+1.11 get you kelce/kittle/waller? Who knows depends on the team that has them, doenslt hurt to ask.
