With the NFL Draft behind us, most dynasty leagues are shifting into rookie draft mode. And as most dynasty players will tell you, the best time to make a trade is when you’re sitting on the clock so this a near-optimum time to acquire slightly more proven assets.
Since there are few better opportunities to capitalize on an owner’s appetite for the unproven, I’m going to identify a few dynasty assets I’m buying with each round of picks.
Round 1 Pick Trades
Trading out of a first-round pick can be clearly separated into two categories: Early Firsts and Late Firsts. Barring a godfather offer, I don’t think many drafters will be trading out of the top two spots this year, as the landing spots surpassed even high expectations. But starting at 1.03, there’s a bit of subjectivity based on the eye of the beholder. You may find this spot to be profitable if you’re closer to competing than your early draft slot would suggest.
