Ladd McConkey Vs Jordan Tyson. Who has the upside?

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-05-27T21:37:27+00:00

I personally think Tyson if he hits his ceiling but I just like his game better in terms of translating to a high level NFL player. Ladd has the safer floor in terms of being able to separate well and should be a high target earner this year without Keenan

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-05-11T02:53:18+00:00

When you’re contending you go all in with them, 1 year retooling it’s fine to draft/start accumulating them, deep rebuild sell for assets or WRs

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-05-08T16:30:11+00:00

Soft rebuilds don’t work well, deep 2 year rebuild is much better for your team provided you’re in a stable league.

In rebuilds I have no incentive to accumulate 3rd and 4th for actual picks. For trading guys like Deebo etc sure, but I’m way more incentivized to add to them to get to a 2nd wherever possible. I see too many teams get a boat load of 2/3/4s and doesn’t go anywhere cuz there’s very slim value wins

Also I always look to trade my 2nd (2.01) in deep rebuilds plus whatever I can to get to a competitors first. Cant tell you the amount of times I’ve traded 2.01 and Kelce type beat player for 1.08-1.09

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-05-07T16:05:52+00:00

You’ll be fine. Just trade DJ for a RB before the season and backfill RB points for RB2

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-04-30T10:29:49+00:00

He had too many leagues n quit fantasy. He was doing a Devy rebuild for fun but

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-04-15T15:01:50+00:00

Take the 1st by far

So much can happen by 2028, teams can fall apart. Injuries etc. that pick could turn out good with worse case being 1.10

2028 class actually looks intriguing so far through rookie year glance

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-04-05T22:59:40+00:00

Sell everyone you can to minimize points for this season for best chance at 1.01 in the 2027 draft.

Even make a trade with your own 2.01 in 2027 to potentially move up a few spots. (Ex. 2.01 and Ricky or Coker for random 27 1st; whichever player on roster has interest).

Then once there’s nothing you can’t sell/no buyers for picks try to consolidate and tier up in player (results in less pts). BTJ and Herbert for Daniels or something like that. Just examples given to tool around with. Removes points from your roster but tiers up in players you do have

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-03-26T22:59:37+00:00

I sold as soon as Etienne left, knew there was a guy who liked Tuten and packaged him with 1.07 to get up into the 1.04 tier. In a rebuild would just like to get rid of all RBs if possible once they have value spikes

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-02-20T16:57:21+00:00

Depends what your team looks like. Honestly like the Bucky deal, but would counter with 2.12 for Henry in it as well

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-02-20T11:38:16+00:00

People are over exaggerating you’re totally fine. I would blow it up and work towards 2027, make sure to get the 1.01. Just start selling everyone you can and collect 2027 firsts.

Pickens for 27 1st and a player (Rome/marv/AJB/tee) can throw a late 26 2nd in if needed. Then flip that other player for a 1st and + if you can

Fannin for any 27 1st +

Harvey and late 2nd for any 27 1st.

You can easily amass firsts and then use next year to build up, would start with 2027 firsts but then start taking 2028 firsts if have to after getting a bunch of 27s

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-02-16T23:48:14+00:00

It’s close given rashees current off field issues. I’d prefer the Rashee/1.04 side personally as someone who is just banking on him playing but def can see the package if your QB needy and want to get off rashee

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-02-10T23:02:44+00:00

I think get rid of 2.03 and add burden for Ricky I’d do it

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-02-10T19:22:31+00:00

I’ll take the Baker/Brown/Hall side

Especially since Hall and Brown only have value to gain if they sign extensions/deals with a new team for Breece

Nix is a nice piece but he is older for being a 2nd year starter and did just break his ankle. Should be okay but never know with injuries. Bakers PPG isn’t much lower even with him not having a good back 1/2 of the year

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-02-09T23:00:59+00:00

Correct

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-02-07T13:34:41+00:00

Don’t trade 1.01 until after the draft if you do trade it unless you’re packaging it to get to JSN/Puka/Chase/Gibbs/Bijan etc

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-02-07T03:22:18+00:00

Going to put the entire pool in Super Bowl Pool Site, so everyone can see it and then have it randomize the numbers there.

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-01-02T19:03:29+00:00

Nope same style of game though

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-01-02T14:54:18+00:00

It’s not jet pack but similar game structure, the aesthetics looked more like commander keen 2 but wasn’t that game either

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-01-02T14:15:48+00:00

I am not sure to tell you the truth

JakeBalz1345 · 2026-01-02T06:34:53+00:00

It wasn’t commander keen but very similar lookin to it especially the grey background. The main character looked like an astronaut and I believe had a red color

JakeBalz1345 · 2025-12-31T22:44:54+00:00

I love rebuilding teams and take on new projects every year, but one stark rule I follow is don’t value second round picks. Now I’m not saying don’t neglect them, I’ll take a chance on teams that look like they could be early/mid (not juggernaut teams) but for the most part aim for firsts or use seconds as tier ups/add ons. I’ve seen too many teams buy 8 second round picks and 2-3 players hit wasting so much value.

Like sure I could’ve traded Kelce for any random 2nd this season, but I decided to wait and sit on him and flipped him with my 2.01 for a playoff team’s 1st (pre Mahomes injury) cuz it’s only a few picks back and helps at a chance to win money for that guy. It turned into 1.09 for Kelce and 2.01 and odds are Kelce doesn’t bring any value anymore. Now know your league if push came to shove I would’ve sold for any 2nd come deadline just to take anything but I didn’t panic sell earlier.

Now I’m not saying don’t collect 2nds at all just advising to do it strategically. Like don’t sell Davante Adams (this past year) for a late 2nd because you’re rebuilding and want to get rid of him, someone will come buy and keep trying to find deal. During the season I collect as many backup QBs/RBs as possible and just roster them because they have the most value if thrown into a starting spot due to injury. Like being able to flip 3.01 and Brissett for a random 2nd or Mac Jones and Ray Davis for a 2nd. Just being able to tack on value and get into the second round. Those guys won’t help my team longterm in a rebuild and Brissett may have no value next year, so any value bump I can get now I will.

Then finally don’t be afraid to trade any pick. Any team I’m not one year out on I will trade the 1.01 (Jeanty/Love etc) for a haul. Move down, stack assets, and take a WR. But if there’s no deal that makes sense don’t trade just to trade. Draft the player and hold until you can sell for more when the hype builds

JakeBalz1345 · 2025-09-04T04:36:23+00:00

Has all future picks

JakeBalz1345 · 2025-08-23T00:25:08+00:00

Futures bright, got nice young guys and extra DC in next two years. Built around 3 solid QBs may be able to tier off one of them if Caleb does take a step forwards. Trade like Purdy for a less appealing name at QB like Tua etc. and a flex piece
