Startup completed - Team direction? What moves to make?

Postby Lumps » Tue Mar 19, 2024 4:56 pm

Best ball, 12 team, SF, PPR, 1 TEP, devy
Start 11 - QB, 2RB, 2WR, TE, 4 WRT, SF

41 rounds and I don't want to type out all the guys, but it's best ball... there are players behind these.
QB: Purdy, Mayfield, JJ McCarthy, depth
RB: Hall, Gibbs, Johnathan Brooks Kendre Miller, Keaton Mitchell, Jaleel McLaughlin, Vaki
WR: Jefferson, Reed, Odunze, Xavier Legette, AD Mitchell, Jeudy, Wicks, , Malik Washington, Wan'dale
TE: Henry, Dulcich, Fant, Parkinson, and lots more. I hit this hard late.

Devy: Evan Stewart, Ashton Jeanty, and have my devy and another devy pick in 25

I did not go in with a plan (plans change) and just let the draft come to me mostly. So now that this is the result, what do you think I should do if anything? Is there a direction to head? Compete now? Sell some assets for next year? Open to thoughts.

Seeing how this is a deep draft for WRs, I'd say you were wise to make WR (and TE) your weakest positions. Should be able to improve those positions with those draft picks. Looks pretty solid to me!

I definitely did have this in the back of my mind as we started drafting before the combine. So I knew I could get some options there.

Mostly, I just decided to not panic and not overdraft when runs happened in front of me. That happened obviously in the 1st with QB, as I was at 1.10. Traded back in the second (picked up a 5th and a future devy 1) as I saw a large tier, and got Gibbs. Breece was somehow still there at 3.3.

There were a few runs on TEs too just prior to my pick that forced me a different direction. Since it’s best ball I just went with quantity later to help solve TE.

Since it’s startup devy, I should be able to get some players that will help next year.

I don't think this team can compete. I also think your build clashes with my own philosophy haha, so am probably down on it for my own reasons. But to me, you essentially have 1QB I believe in, 2 RBs, 2WR, and no TE. I'd be doing everything I could to secure an elite QB1 to pair with Goff (upgrade on Mayfield). I'd also be aggressive in an upgrade at TE and WR3. Potentially using 1.8 with a lesser player to trade for a sure thing. 1.7 can probably fix one of the holes depending on who is there between Odunze and Bowers.

Hey, can’t please everyone right? 😀

It isn’t the usual way I like to build a team either. I had the 10 slot and 9 QBs went first. Just opted to go with the flow and not chase. But I do not have an issue with Purdy or Baker.

As with how people drafted, getting “an elite” QB will just be prohibitively expensive. I don’t own Goff. This is also best ball - have to keep in mind sending multiple pieces for 1.

Adding these to the original post.

I think you’ve made a couple good moves with the trades
