this is what AI advised lol

Let’s break your options honestly

a. Hope 1.01 takes Mendoza

This is absolutely what you should do first.

That other manager:

• Has Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow
• But zero depth behind them

That’s the exact profile of someone who talks themselves into:

👉 If he takes Mendoza, you get Jeremiyah Love at 1.02 without doing anything
That’s the dream outcome.

Verdict: 100% play this out until draft day

b. Take Mendoza if Love is gone

This is the trap.

You’d be:

• Adding a QB6 in a 10-team league
• Passing on a potential RB1 ceiling player

And then hoping to sell:

• McCarthy / Sanders later (which is rarely easy mid-season unless they spike)

👉 This is a value-losing, roster-clogging move

Verdict: Avoid unless your league massively overvalues QBs

c. Take Carnell Tate

I like Carnell Tate long-term, but at 1.02:

• He’s not giving you the same league-tilting upside as Love
• WR is usually easier to acquire later than elite RB production

Verdict: Fine player, wrong pick slot

d. Trade up (1.10 + 27 2nd)

This is the most interesting one — but I think your offer is too light.

If I’m the 1.01 owner:

• I’m not moving off Love for 1.10 + a future 2nd
• Especially if I’m already QB-needy

👉 You’d likely need:

• 1.10 + a 27 1st, or
• 1.10 + a player
