Actually have 2 picks now in the 1st…my #7 and the #9 I picked up.  I gave up my 2nd round pick.

Yea that’s what I thought, makes it a tough decision, but you did gain another first rd pick.

Did a deal yesterday in one of my leagues that I think I did ok on.  Traded LaPorta and the #18 overall pick for Devonte Smith and the #9 overall pick.  Also have Kelce, and we re-draft in this league August 2025.

WR’s are now Smith, Aiyuk, Hopkins, London & McLaurin.

You definitely needed a WR. I think that's a great deal for you. Is it a Superflex?

Trade 7 & 9 to get Harrison or Nabers. Unless it's Superflex 

[makindollaz 51]

It’s not superflex.

Not a big te fan, in my redraft leagues I don’t draft a te until the double digit rounds, but I don’t think I would have traded away Laporta who if he stays healthy could be the top scoring ff te for years to come.  But you did pick up nine spots for your draft.  

He completely saved my team this past season after another dud from Kyle Pitts...

That used to be my thinking as well but in TE Premium Dynasty you have to have a top 10 TE or you'll get smoked at that position every week. 

It obviously doesn't matter as much in redraft but if you can grab a TE like LaPorta who puts up WR numbers then you gotta do it. Win the position.

Yes I do. I'm gonna try work some trades though. I may end up trading one, probably Pitts

Yeah in dynasty there's no reason to not go after one unless they're just way to expensive.

It's like every position in dynasty though. Just keep a revolving door of young prospects and keep/trade any that pan out

Value should be pretty good after the Falcons picked up mr Cousins.

No doubt but a lot of people are spectating that he may not be ready by week 1. 

[weepaws 3,156]

I haven’t heard any injury news about some players of concern come week one, the Chubb, and Mr Cousins are two of them.

Chubb definitely won't be back till mid season. Cousins will be close to week 1. That's a tough injury for someone his age. At least Rodgers got hurt week 1. Cousins was week 8. 

[weepaws 3,156]

Thanks.

This draft should be a goldmine for dynasty leagues.

A lot of QBs and WRs in the 1st round.

Load up!

[Ray_T 740]

and honestly at least one or two good TE's.   you wont have to spend a first on a TE (unless its a large league) as the QB and WR should dominate round 1

Yeah, and there will certainly be some RBs taken high in most drafts too, always is

[Ray_T 740]

true.  but as none were drafted in round 1 I could likely only see possibly 1 (maybe 2) going in round 1 if they land in really good spots where there is a clear path to a starting role.

as no RB's have been taken yet, its too early to predict this.   but you are probably right.   1 RB likely will go in round 1 of your dynasty.   Maybe even 2

[weepaws 3,156]

The top TE went to the Raiders, who already roster Mayer.  That’s a tough situation if you want to take a rookie te.

yeah, that was a bit of a surprise pick for me.  it was looking like Mayer was going to become a very good TE.

I guess maybe they run a lot more 2 TE sets but not many teams have done this successfully.  most successful one I can think of in recent memory was the Pats with Gronk and Hernandez before Hernandez went to jail.

barring that, I think it means someone is likely to get moved.

It doesn't tend to matter too terribly much in my experience if they're drafted in the 1st round or not considering there's usually no more than one or two any more.

Sure, when there's an Ezekiel Elliott or Saquon Barkley drafted it's much more hyped than this season but any good fit will be jumped on. Everybody is still wanting to find the new break out RB.

true.  it is getting harder to find a difference maker at RB for fantasy.   so there will always be people drafting the rookies in a good situation regardless of where they were drafted in real life

This is about how I see the first round of a 1 QB Dynasty league go. Post draft 

All are pretty much landing spots 

- 1.01 Marvin Harrison Jr 

- 1.02 Malik Nabers 

- 1.03 Brock Bowers 

- 1.04 Rome Odunze 

- 1.05 Xavier Worthy 

- 1.06 Jonathan Brooks 

- 1.07 Keon Coleman 

- 1.08 Trey Benson 

- 1.09 Ladd McConkey 

- 1.10 Caleb Williams 

- 1.11 Brian Thomas 

- 1.12 Ricky Pearsal

I was eyeing Pearsall as a target of mine towards the end of round 2.

But his 1rst round draft capital. Along with the fact that I got a couple 49er fans in my league. I think should put him out of reach now. I agree. End of round 1, top of 2 now seems most likely.

I like the list. But i think I would put Thomas higher. In that 5/6 range with Worthy. And move everyone else down one.

The Pearsall pick is probably the one I struggle with the most. 

If Deebo or Aiyuk gets traded then he's a certain 1st rounder. If not I can definitely see him fall.

well, I guess it all depends on how things shake out.   If Pearsall shows hes ready, then Deebo or Aiyuk get traded sooner.

they may hold onto both players until they figure this out unless they absolutely NEED to clear cap space.   Then the decision to move one of them becomes a whole lot more urgent.

We'll know sooner than later. Aiyuk isn't playing without a new contract. Somebody's gotta go.

isnt he still under contract?   14 mil if memory serves....   so there is no reason to sign him early other than making Aiyuk happy haha.    if he doesnt play, he will still have a year to go to reach free agency so there is no benefit to sitting.

the guy will play.   and if hes smart, he plays his best so he can get the absolute most he can in free agency

He can hold out, just like CeeDee & Higgins are about to do. Happens every year.

I suppose.  but why would a GM want a guy who is doing things like holding out while still under contract.

I can see holding out once the contract is done but this sort of thing makes him look like hes not a team player to me.   But then again Aiyuk has not fully gotten along with his coach so maybe there are additional motovations and hes actually hoping to be traded.

so this sort of thing can be a means to an end.   but I still dont like the tactic.

Deva WRs at it again.  Yawn it’s become to normal.

His ADP is late 1st rd right now which tells you the secret is out on Deebo....

the speculaton is often out of control on these things.   its also very likely Aiyuk goes.

one of the two will depart shortly.  and I think it will cost more to sign Aiyuk than it costs to keep deebo.    Though I do like Aiyuk better, if you have to pay significantly more to sign Aiyuk than Deebo is making then the decision becomes a little more murky

[kcBlitzkrieg 29]

How do you know the Niners don't prefer Aiyuk in that offense ??  Deebo and Pearsal both play the slot.... 

Deebo is cheaper to trade (new team assuming current contract vs. new money) is the alternate way to look at "cost more to sign Aiyuk".

Deebo has to be the one to go. Aiyuk is the better and younger WR.

this is true.

but at the same time Aiyuk can price himself out of the roster if hes asking too much as well.

if his ask is unreasonable he could be the one to go.......its just as much about money as it is about anything else.   Deebo and Pearsal if they both play the slot, would tip the team towards trading Deebo (especially if Pearsal looks like he can be a day 1 starter in the slot)

I do feel  like whatever happens will be largely dependant on where Pearsal is once the team has had a chance to evaluate him at camp.

if hes not ready to start, maybe Deebo and Aiyuk both stay.  

Keep in mind I say this not fully known how tight the cap situation is in San Fran.   obviously a tighter cash crunch could force a move sooner rather than later.   does anyone know where they are in terms of the cap?

 

[kcBlitzkrieg 29]

so it looks like cash is tight but nothing is on fire (at least not yet)

When does everyone think the first RB gets drafted in a 1 QB Dynasty Rookie Draft?
