Rookie Draft Today!

Postby Cojo 2020 » Sun Aug 13, 2023 7:37 am

My rookie draft for the team in the sig starts in an hour. I'm very excited as a ton of my previous trades of aging vets has let to a boatload of picks. And I am the reigning champion.

I have the following picks:

1.01
1.02
1.04
1.05
1.06
1.08
1.10
2.05
4.08

I'm locked in on Bijan and Anthony Richardson with the first two picks. The manager at 1.03 is a wild card. It is superflex, and his only QBs are Kyler Murray and Jordan Love. His main RBs are J. Conner, D. Henry, and Kamara. So I think between the RB needs and being a huge Lions fan, he will go with Gibbs at 1.03.

If that is the case, what recommendations do you have for my next three picks? Since it is superflex, my gut says B. Young, C.J. Stroud, and JSN. But with Mahomes, Hurts and Richardson already on my roster, is that too many QBs? Should I try to trade down or out from one of the spots? Curious on thoughts on this.
ROCHESTER ROADKILL: 10 team league: Starts 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR,, 1 TE, 1 PK, 1 DST 1 flex RB/WR, 1 superflex QB/RB/WR/TE.

Superflex, PPR, Pass TD = 6 pts.

QB: Mahomes, Hurts, Lance, B.Young, A.Richardson, M.Cunningham
RB: Chubb, A.Jones, Bijan, Gibbs, J.Williams (DEN), Dobbins, Dillon, Z.White, T. Spears, R.Johnson, Z.Evans
WR: Lamb, Higgins, M.Brown (ARI), Ridley, Pittman, E.Moore, J.Williams (DET), Dotson, Doubs, Q.Johnston, Smith-Njigba
TE: Schultz, Kincaid
PK: Koo
DST: Chiefs. Lions
2024 picks: 1.02, 1.05, 1.06, 2.06, 3.02, 3.08, 3.10
League Champion: 2017, 2018, 2020, 2022

Good lord. The rich get richer.

Let's hope Gibbs goes 1.03. IMO that is a fairly awful pick in SF.

I'm all about trading out of Young and Stroud given your roster. But you need to get full value. I don't know your league - maybe that means selling the picks when they are OTC or maybe it means grabbing the players and trading them in-season. They are both top-30 SF start-up picks IMO. I'd want the moon or close to it. You have the luxury to do whatever you want.

BPA across the board to maximize value. Load up on top end prospects! You are in a great spot and let the draft come to you. If Gibbs goes with the 1.03, you can load up on QB value.

So 1.3 ended up being Stroud. So I followed up with Young, Gibbs, and JSN. 1.7 was Addison. I took Q. Johnston at 1.8. Z. Flowers went to another team at 1.9 and I took D. Kincaid at 1.10.

Very nice. Stroud going before Young is unusual. You got a handful of elite assets. Congrats.
