Rookie Draft Strategy (19 of the first 36 picks) - IDP

Postby SkillsPino » Sun Apr 18, 2021 8:25 am

Injuries derailed my 2020 season early and I had a lot of expiring contracts. So I essentially traded everything I had for draft picks this year. I've compiled 19 of the first 36 picks in the rookie draft. I only have 1 first round pick (11th overall) with the rest being 2nd and 3rd round picks. Curious to get some thoughts on how I should handle the draft...

NOTE - We are permitted to REDSHIRT any draft picks we make, so I don't need to include salaries or roster spots for all these selections. I

1. Keep all my picks and draft best player available.
2. Trade up - pair some picks and try and move up into the first round.
3. Trade for future picks and kick some of these down the road.

Any/All thoughts are welcome.

Option 2 for me. Depending on if you are able to trade up and cost, I would be looking to get more 1sts. I was surprised you only had a single late 1st based on the number of picks you own. BPA from there since it sounds like you are retooling.
