Essay On How To Draft A Good Team

Draft a good team
The first step in taking home your league's championship is to draft a team that is solid overall. Hope for the best in the order to try to get a top 5 pick. I recommend picking a running back for your first pick, and if the best are taken then try to get a superstar wide receiver like Antonio Brown or Julio Jones. Then try to draft other wide receivers who get the most targets and touchdowns on their team. The top running backs to draft next year in my opinion are Adrian Peterson, Todd Gurley, Le'veon Bell, and Doug Martin. Devonta Freeman is not in this list because I think he is a one hit wonder. You want a very consistent running back that gets a lot of touches in the backfield. When the elite running backs are taken, get other players that have the starting job on their team. This is very important because you don’t want to waste your first 3 rounds on a player that doesn’t even play. Next once you pick 2 wide receivers and 2 running backs, you

Try to find weaknesses in your team, and target other players in the league that have these position. Propose a fair trade and make sure you don’t give up too many players for just a few. Use a trade analyzer website to double check your trades and to also find new trading ideas. If you are very desperate, you can try to get an unfair trade in favor of your team. Target someone in your league who is not experienced, and find a player on their team that is good, but not their best player. For example, last year, I traded Jonathan Stewart and Randall Cobb for Matt Forte last year. Randall Cobb turned out to be a bust and Jonathan Stewart was not so good at the beginning of the season. Matt Forte turned out to be a top 10 running back at the end of the season even with dealing with injuries. I later made a trade with the same person to get Jonathan Stewart back that I will talk about in the next

Fast forward to now, and it seems like Lucroy may be hearing his name on the trade block again, very soon. According to Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com, Texas is open to moving Lucroy, and going forward with a catching duo of Robinson Chirinos and Brett Nicholas.

    The vast majority of his trades have turned out to be excellent, such as the trade that sent Zack Greinke to the Milwaukee Brewers for several minor league players, including current Royals All-Stars Lorenzo Cain and Alcides Escobar. He also traded minor league star Wil Meyers to the Tampa Bay Rays for pitchers James Shields and Wade Davis. This trade made many people furious because Meyers was supposed to become an MLB star, and he never did. It turned out successful because James Shields became the Royals ace pitcher and led them to the World Series, and Wade Davis who was unknown back then, has transformed into one of the best relief pitchers in baseball. The most important trait of Dayton Moore is his ability to be an impactful leader and set this franchise up for success.…

    The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing uncertain times. The once optimistic state is turning sour at the speed of a stunting defensive lineman. The offense seems off at times, and defensive scheme is not being used to the players strengths. This past off season seemed ripe for the taking, we finally had an offense that could win games. The defense looked good considering the late push it provided last season, now they can't stop anybody.…

    In a lot of ways the Browns have already started to do this. They are starting to trade down from high positions in the draft to acquire more draft picks, and draft players that are less risky. A good example of this is the trade they did with the Eagles last year where the Browns traded down from their second pick in the draft to acquire five picks(Sheridan). Perhaps the most recent example of a team drafting safe and becoming successful because of it would the Oakland Raiders. In 2014 there were a ton of great Quarterbacks coming out of college, instead of trading up to grab one of the Quarterbacks that was projected to go in the first round, they stayed put in the second round and drafted Derek Carr(Gutierrez).…
