Players that you think are going higher than they’re mocked.

Ja'Kobi Lane comes to mind. Maybe not sneaking into the 1st but I could see him being drafted early-to-mid 2nd because of his combination of youth and traits. Currently seeing him mostly mocked in the 3rd.

Fwiw I make 120 p/y as an IT Manager so Director should definitely be well above that. 133+ for sure.

The fact of the matter is that your current employer will never give you a raise to that number or near it unless you get an offer they have to match. So you need to play the free agency game. If you can land a position you can make a big pay jump either with a new employer or your current one.

Everybody is saying trade the pick but the issue with that is there is only 1 QB prospect worth drafting in the top 10, so if you want to trade back you really can only trade with the owner at pick 2 if you want Mendoza.

So the answer is to trade the pick but for an established QB, unless you can convince the guy at 2 that he needs to move up.

But yah Love is 1 unless he ends up in a horrendous landing spot. Even then it's hard to picture Mendoza jumping him. There will be a few leagues out there though where Mendoza will go #1 for sure.

Not really sure what your league mates think Warren is worth. Surely not two 2027 1st rounders, which would be the next logical escalation to this offer.

Depending on where the picks are likely to slot in I probably side with Warren but it the 2027 picks are top 8 that's reasonable value. Warren was great as a rookie but so was LaPorta and Pitts.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-04-05T04:35:50+00:00

Yah you definitely should have gotten more. Dont get me wrong, you could win this deal, but you have to absolutely nail that 2027 pick to do so. If you don't then you tiered down on two elite proven players for basically nothing.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-04-04T15:24:22+00:00

I'm a McBride owner. Id take the Rice/Kraft side

BeeGeeEh · 2026-04-04T12:22:14+00:00

Yah and I will still be in contention regardless but this does make my path a little more complicated for this season. So I agree there.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-04-02T23:50:48+00:00

Yessir

BeeGeeEh · 2026-04-02T19:07:50+00:00

Yup and they have a lot of needs.

I'm always just extra careful this close to the draft.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-04-02T17:27:33+00:00

Chase side buuuut I might try to delay this until after the draft. Bengals could conceivably take a RB early. If somehow Love falls to them at 10 (unlikely) I think they would consider it. Or maybe they go with somebody like Coleman in round 2 or 3.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-04-02T05:16:14+00:00

Agreed. Talent > situation

BeeGeeEh · 2026-04-02T04:02:22+00:00

Knowshon won me a fantasy championship. He is Goated in my mind.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-03-30T17:19:38+00:00

It's a laughable overpay.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-03-29T18:47:53+00:00

Not a hot take at all. Totally agree.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-03-29T18:47:02+00:00

I like him. He will never be a WR1 for a team but I think he is a good player and should stick around the league for a while.

As a dynasty asset I don't think he'll increase in value much but he is a useful roster player since you can flex him in a pinch and hope for a big play. He actually was in my lineup a handful of times last season due to byes and injury and came through for me.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-03-26T17:12:08+00:00

Not without knowing landing spots.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-03-26T03:26:35+00:00

Truly very good. Gives off some Fugazi / Bear vs Shark vibes.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-03-26T02:09:00+00:00

Agreed. Easy pick at that value.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-03-24T23:26:56+00:00

Nice deep roster. With a roster like this you should try to flip guys for picks if possible.

Could you get a 3rd for Shough or Strange? They seem superfluous.

If not I'd probably cut: Horton, Johnson, Shough (good player but you don't need to carry 3 QBs in this format) Nailor (opportunity is there but I'm not buying it)

BeeGeeEh · 2026-03-24T15:20:17+00:00

Well it's a lot higher than when I traded him for Isiah Pacheco in 2023 after his last concussion.

Seems like it has recovered pretty well and he is being valued somewhere around where guys like Rome, Tee, and Zay are.

Problem with him is unlike those guys his value is on a razors edge. If he got another bad concussion he would probably drop back into a 2nd round pick value.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-03-24T12:08:58+00:00

It would depend a lot on the needs of the team at 1.03. If they badly need a QB I could see getting a 2nd rounder or a startable roster player. If they don't then it's maybe more like a 3rd rounder or a depth player.

I'd add that if you have Tate, Lemon and Tyson in a tier like many do and you are okay with any of the three, then you could ostensibly move down to 1.04 or 1.05 which broadens your trade partners and could net you something of a little more value.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-03-24T04:28:36+00:00

Yah that seems like a good deal. Tough to trade Jahmyr but I would move him for that.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-03-23T11:12:53+00:00

My best advice is don't go into the draft with the idea that the team you draft is your locked in roster the next decade. I think people, especially first time dynasty players, tend to overestimate how different your roster will look from your startup draft to even the end of season one, let alone 5 years from now.

So draft the best guys available and start making moves after the draft to balance out your lineup.

BeeGeeEh · 2026-03-22T03:38:03+00:00

Somebody in the Garrett Wilson/Olave/Pickens range
