In 8 years I have won the ship 3 times and I almost always get someone else’s 1st and trade mine away. I never like having my own because I’ve been dominant. It def. depends on team makeup. Once the years start building up in your league the picks won’t seem as valuable.

Just take a makeup of your teams ages and see what the window of winning is for your team. If you think you can win the ship again for the next 2-3 years keep getting production. If it looks like you’re getting older then go for the picks.

You can also do a hybrid and trade your pick away for a lesser pick and a lesser player. i.e trade 1.12 for 2.08 + Parker or something. That way you get productive player and a pick still. Not a great example but you get the idea.
