Somewhat early 2024 Draft thread

[tstafford]

Well, I’ll disagree again (hard to believe, isn’t it?). I’m not a fan of buying into declining offenses, and I see DAL as a team that could implode quickly. Questionable HC, very volatile QB situation, very largely negative talent quotient in offseason movement, base O took a massive hit on the O line that negatively affects all O skill players. Then add a narcissistic owner who loves to meddle in team matters.

Maybe they’ll rebound with a ridiculously great draft, but this looks to me like a franchise on a down swing that could turn into a free fall. Those situations can take years to recover from.

This is nothing like Cook going to BUF. That was a team on the rise at the time and one that is very likely to be a stable strong O for the next few years. That’s a system to take the risk to buy into and get a piece of early. The comparison of that situation to where DAL is headed right now is a really poor one IMO.

There's nothing wrong with how you feel about it. But, the question is about value, which is how most people feel about it.

Again, the headline will still be "Dallas uses 2nd round draft capital on a RB" and that is enough to create positive value from public opinion for a typical player. Because it's Dallas, it's draft capital and they have a garbage RB room. Brooks will objectively bump up in value. He certainly won't get worse. Sure, their offensive line is worse, but how many people actually know that?

However you want to manipulate that to your advantage is up to you. Someone who isn't a fan could be on the clock at a draft spot where multiple owners want him and profit. Simple as that.

None of this is an endorsement of him as a player or talent. It's strictly looking at value and what influences it.

Agreed. And I'd add that the later the rookie draft, the more the RB will climb in value. If DAL takes a RB in round 2, redraft rankers will have that player top-20 at the position (maybe top-15). That will drive dynasty value as win-now teams compete for the pick/player.

I can't wait for the draft to start at 8 and not even be through the 1st 5 picks until 930

Sounds like plenty of time to make sure the bourbon glass isn’t empty.

Good luck surviving that

I'm in desperate need of a RB and sitting at 1.9 in a 16 team league. Not the best year for that to be the case. Hoping someone wants to move up and/or sell me a RB I like more for the pick once I'm on the clock...

Feels like Brooks or Bensen there, but IDK how I feel about this class.

We could go for a 10 minute stupor and use “generational”.

This one might at least give you a fighting chance to make it through the broadcast. But why play games? Just enjoy your beverages (somewhat) responsibly!
