After fruitless efforts to consolidate into fewer total but better quality picks in the 2nd and 3rd round, I decided my best strategy this year was actually to lean heavily into day 3 guys I like. I’m executing a single trade which has equal trade up and trade down in it. I’m essentially swapping the top half of my draft with the Colts. Because of the ambiguous nature of the trade, I’m going with the 15% discount factor.
