Two trades for 26 1sts in 1qb FFPC
Team1 finished 7th and gave their 26 1st (to team 3) for the 2025 2.1 and 2.10. (February trade)
Team2 finished 8th and gave their 26 1st (to team 3) for C. Olave. (last week)
Before I provide the rosters of each team, any thoughts?
My 2 cents - I wish I were team 3 and regardless of strength of roster I'm not giving a future 1st for Olave.
For the 2.1 and 2.10, maybe if I felt I was a contender.
I'd have kept the future first in both deals.
Would not consider the 2.1 and 2.10 unless it was OTC or at minimum after the NFL draft I knew for sure 13 players were worth it.
Olave's had to many brain injuries, massive QB concerns and not enough upside to trade a future first with those concerns.
As a general rule I detest giving up my future firsts this time of year. I've seen multiple teams over the years that look like league favorites woefully underperform, some who would go on to win the draft playoffs and win 1.1. Even I'm a contender I'd rather sit on that pick and if I want to use it later it's a nice draw to a team that gets out of the gate poorly and has player that can help me win now, that's when I'm more open to dealing my future first.
I think most agree on not giving a 1 for Olave and when you look at the Team2 roster after the trade I like it less. Team screams rebuild to me.

Aaron Rodgers, Goff, J.J. McCarthy

Team1 (gave 26 1st, got 25 2.1 and 2.10)
Mahomes, Purdy
James Conner, Travis Etienne, Braelon Allen, Rhamondre Stevenson
Nacua, McConkey, McLaurin, Waddle, Metcalf, Keon Coleman
Hunter Henry, Kyle Pitts
25 Draft Picks: 2.1, 2.5, 2.10, 4.5, 5.5, 5.7, 6.5, 7.5
Team1 is a younger stronger team that needs help at rb and te, but should be able to compete this yr.
Ok, I 'm biased, Team1 is mine

I don't like trading future firsts either, but I have loosened up a bit in my old age. If I'm a contender I am much more willing to do it now than I was in the past. Getting the use of an asset for the current season is more appealing to me now than it used to be.
Definitely riskay, but YOLO! If I make the playoffs I will consider it a win, but either way I will mark it and let you guys know next year if I crash and burn.
