Episode notes
Upside Over Tiny Per-Game Gaps
- Upside matters more than drafting based on small projected per-game differences for many positions.
- Target players with true breakout potential even if their ADP looks risky relative to floor picks.
Buy Elite Talent If Price Falls
- Consider drafting elite players if they slip several spots due to injury concerns when upside is huge.
- Only pick them later if you accept the clear injury risk and won't panic if they miss time.
Grab Chase Brown Early
- Draft Chase Brown confidently when he falls to the third round because he's likely to be an every-down back.
- Prioritize him early in the second or third depending on ADP shifts because competition is minimal.
