I just had a rookie draft in a 16-team PPR SF TE-P IDP league. I had 0 picks heading into this draft because I dealt them all last year in an effort to “go for it” - which paid off since I won the ‘ship.
But as such things go, when a value fell, I got antsy and once again took out a loan from future me.
It started modest. Gentle, even. I dealt my 2025 3rd, 4th & 5th for a 2024 4.09, 5.09 & 6.09
My plan was to use those 3 picks to grab a little IDP depth. But like a crackhead with a fresh rock, plans are seldom followed by a dude like me with some chips to push in the middle.
When all was said and done, I’d traded my 2025 2nd through 7th picks, leaving me with only my 1st. I also dealt roster clogger AJ Dillon & my 7th safety Ji’Ayir Brown, which cleared 2 spots, so I’ll call that a bonus.
I nabbed 4 players I really liked at the value, including a QB dart throw and IMO the best IDP in the draft, but now the idea is percolating to “go for it” - and move my 2025 1st for a player (TE/WR/RB) that can help me win again.
It’s a vicious cycle.
