I largely remain a fan of not trading up nor down in drafts.....and just using your picks to draft the best player. 

Almost every time they go up or down I feel they lose more times than not.

Trying to get cute is the last thing we should want this FO doing right now because they are trash at it.

Personally I feel you need to be fluid each draft year in regards to that years main tiers and overall pool. 

Find the best scouts and Trust your big board. This will guide you to being a yearly winner. Many say it, but no one truly does BPA. Example if I was running the Panthers this year, starting with that 3rd, if there was a OG I feel was HOFer and he's still there in 3rd....I would draft him. There's injuries and sooo much turn over, lewis or hunt could be on a different team in 26. Just take the clear best player, if you need a DT and he's 80 and the OG is 83...its ok to "break" the golden rule and fill a big hole. 

 

Laugh if you want, but I was a FF king when I followed the league. One of the methods I learnt was as each round passes, add/focus/target more up-side. 

Again most drafts have different talent levels, but after the early 4th(115th) take more risk and go for broke. It's something like 5-7% success rate after that 115, take a risk on trouble or injuried player.... you just gave your odds of having a successful season a boost....thus you keep winning and keep making $$$.... If that player doesn't work out, well so did 94% of the other teams players.
