Order repeats for subsequent rounds depending on how many slots the player has open. An updated list of actual picks will be available after cutdowns.
I could not find any trades that affected the draft this year, but please correct me if I’m wrong. We had the issue last year of changing the rules about balancing the number of picks/players in a trade but I’m going to have to look that over some other time because there’s a lot of discussion and I can’t remember the conclusions. I may post again after I re-read last year’s thread to clear up any pending points of order. If there’s anything you wanted to propose or remind us to do from last year please post it.
When the league auto-created, everyone was auto-renewed, which means I don’t know for sure who is actually around since no one had to renew their team manually. So I would like confirmations that everyone is good to go for playing this year by posting to the thread please.
Last year I traded my 2024 1st as part of a deal with Omni here. Because Omni traded his 2024 last pick to Retro (linked later in this post), I am getting Omni’s penultimate pick this year
I also traded my 2024 2nd to PeteysPartDeux as part of this trade here.
My mistake. I used the in-thread search function to search for “trade” and that didn’t come up, but I guess that’s because it only shows you the first 50 results unless you go into the settings / advanced search function. This is why I need to re-read the whole thread. Thanks for the correction.
I did that exact same thing with the exact same search parameter, and also found nothing. But I remember specifically I had at least one, so I went through more closely.
If anyone is looking to trade out of their late 1st, 2nd round pick, I’ll be in the market. Let me know!
Weird off-season. I had three players on my roster with ages less than 31 years old, who retired from football. Did not see that coming. Guess they got their championship with me, and decided to dip out.
As of right now, I’m planning on cutting:
Darren Waller
Brevin Jordan
Cole Turner
Joshua Dobbs
Joshua Kelley
Rashaad Penny
Michael Gallup
Ronnie Rivers
Which leaves my roster as:
QB
Patrick Mahomes
Bryce Young
Aidan O’Connell
WR
Brandon Aiyuk
Chris Olave
Keenan Allen
Romeo Doubs
DeMario Douglas
Mike Williams
Michael Thomas
RB
Austin Ekeler
Kyren Williams
Breece Hall
Javonte Williams
Sean Tucker
Devin Singletary
TE
Luke Musgrave
K
Justin Tucker
D/ST
Buffalo D/ST
Tampa Bay D/ST
That leaves me with 20 rostered players, so I should have (again, as of now) 5 draft picks this year. I’m thinking I may cut Michael Thomas if no WR needy team (I’m looking at you Patriots, Chargers, Broncos, and possibly the 49ers) signs him before the season and Aidan OConnell if he loses the starting job, and I may actually keep Ronnie Rivers. But for now, there’s my list.
I’m pretty sure I have no idea how to play this game anymore. I like a lot of pieces on my team that finished just out of the cellar last year. Pretty sure that means I don’t know what I am doing. Right now, I am thinking:
QB Burrow
QB Love
QB Goff
RB Robinson Jr
RB Edwards
RB McLaughlin
RB Dowdle
RB Bigsby
WR Higgins
WR Watson
WR Ridley
WR Flowers
WR Kirk
TE Otton
TE Freiermuth
TE Smith
K Patterson
DEF Balt
DEF Det
DEF Sea
CUTS
Akers
Smith-Schuster
Mattison
Raymond
Joseph
Palmer
MVS
But my RB position is pretty pathetic, so I might keep Mattison is I forget how he played last season. And I might drop Otton if I remember his target share.
