@@DDFFB it would depend on the roster. And what type of equity you have on it. Also the draft picks that you may or may not have. Without knowing that. It’s hard to say whether to start selling off assets for picks, or start using picks and players to acquire assets.
Love the topic Shane, having that tough convo with yourself about where is my team really is already challenging for me. I think after this season I'm closer to you as far as my cutoff for a middling team, last year I kinda said if I'm not top 3 I'm out, but after watching a 5 seed and 6 seed with clearly inferior rosters win chips this year, I'm gonna change my philosophy to if I'm top 5 now, I'm gonna go all in, without ruining the team ofc
The biggest problem I see with middling teams are they're not aggressive enough to go one way or the other. They typically play it safe, which leads to more middling.
One of my leagues has a few players like this. That league is about 5 years old and I honestly wonder what keeps them coming back lol! they always end up in the 1.04-1.07 range, don't trade, and don't make waves in the off-season. I just want to ask them if they're having fun 😂
Love the "Great is sometimes the enemy of Good" adage...I do this too often to a detriment. When all i really need to do is make a deal that unlocks another, rather than just staying deadlocked because I won't take any other deal except the one I want...
Great episode Shane A team like this I would have actually been targeting 26 firsts (assuming someone else already controlled the 25 1st)...either by going right after the 26 1sts, or getting a 25 1st & then splitting into more value in 26 draft capital
Shane- how would you handle an asset like James Conner? Does his contract make him a hold or if I can flip him for a 26 -2nd, do it? He’s a bench piece in my start 8.
What are you looking like next year, and asset-wise? I like Conner, but I also believe you move RBs in this range whenever possible. Could you get a dart throw RB added back as part of the deal?
@@ShaneIsTheWorst I am contender in my league. Kyler Dak Tua, Saquon CMC Conner, ARSB London GW Kupp, LaPorta Engram. Already moved Tracy for the 2.01, kelce for 26 2nd.

I’ve heard that Love is a buy this off season because he had a down year. Which QB would you pursue that provides a decent floor and higher rushing upside for Love…….I like Herbert and Drake..?

depends on my roster. If it's a young roster I will be patient, if it's an aging roster, I will look to rebuild.
I was giving you a test run...the title had me intrigued...Im stocking up on 2026 draft stock...Arch Manning draft...Go Bills!!!
Arch is 2027 draft stock
Funny we just talked about that last night, people are big big on the 2026 class already.
I have a roster like this and this video is very helpful

It sucks knowing that you're kicking the can and likely going to be bad for a full year. But in the long run it pays off.
Great episode!

Happens often, team gets 1.05-1.07 then picks player and has zero trades by the end of the year.
