Dynasty Trade Diary No. 5 – Pivoting in the Elite QB Tier

Top-30 2023 Rookie Picks – 1.05, 2.05, 2.12, 3.05

Notes

Bought as an orphan following the 2020 season
2022 – 8th place (missed payout by 160 points)
2021 – 6th place (missed payout by 56 points)

This squad has been a borderline prize team in both seasons I’ve run it, but has lacked the elite, league winning upside necessary in a longstanding league with other solid high stakes managers. It looked really strong on paper entering the 2022 season, but lack of punch at running back^[1]nobody had a ceiling season, or even a 50th percentile outcome season, really coupled with disappointing seasons by Russell Wilson and Mark Andrews^[2]was merely good, not elite doomed this squad in 2022.

It’s never going to be an easy league to win.

Like Shawn Siegele, I prefer to operate in the Perennial Championship Window, so tearing this squad to bits for rookie picks alone (despite its veteran-heavy makeup) simply isn’t an option. The goal here is to close a few deals to optimize my weekly starting lineup while also adding some additional draft capital to invest in the top tier of the 2023 rookie class or have a more enticing pick to trade for veteran help.

Ok, now for the recently completed transaction.
