![]() What players on other teams should I look to acquire as I sell off veterans? Injured RBs ( Breece Hall, Javonte Williams)? Underperforming young receivers (London, Burks, Pitts)? I’m rebuilding, but hoping to compete next year. If I’m a competitive team looking for receiver depth, I’d be more than willing to trade a projected back-third first-round 2023 pick in return for Davis. This is where a player like Davis can be valuable. When surveying the 2023 draft I see solid potential to the middle of the first round and then a lot of risk. His current DLF trade value is pegged in the middle of the first-round and I don’t think that’s far off. He’s extremely young (23) for playing in his third year, possesses great size, and has a long runway to even greater production. I’m still a big fan of Davis’ game though I do expect him to remain inconsistent in that offense. What do you think of Gabe Davis long-term? Is he a good boom-or-bust WR3 to keep around, or should teams be trying to trade him after his next good game? And for what kind of value? – Erik K It’s a good buy-low opportunity in my mind and I have dropped his ranking to my RB8. Williams is still only 22 and next year Melvin Gordon will be out of the picture and, as long as Williams has no setbacks in his recovery, he should be back and at nearly full health by week six of 2023 or so. I don’t hold an ACL against younger running backs like I would a veteran. Where do you have Javonte Williams for dynasty post knee? -Zak H. As a general rule, if you’re rebuilding look to acquire at least two first rounders to maximize your trade-up potential should you need to move up to secure a coveted player. Draft player bust ratio starts ramping up at 1.03 depending on the depth of the class. Don’t try to do it all with only draft picks. There’s always time to flip players for draft assets but, at the same time, you need veteran production to make a run in the playoffs. I never like to suggest trading away production now for draft picks beyond the next year (2024 & 2025). That’s a bit open ended there and the easy answer is “as high as you can get.” But all kidding aside, this is really dependent on whether you are competitive now or in full rebuild. Enjoy! What picks in the upcoming rookie drafts (2023, 2024, 2025) should I be looking to acquire? -Mendy C.
