Do:

Trading picks can be your best option. Analyze if trading to move up to snag a player you believe is critical is what separates the elite from the just okay.

Take care of your needs on the team as best as you can. A Ferrari is nice, but old school traditional will get you where you’re going.

Addressing your needs is pivotal towards improvement. If you aren’t addressing problem areas from last season, you will deal with those problem areas once again.

Don’t:

This is my biggest draft tip to avoid if you’re an executive. Do not put all of your chips on the table for one player.

If history has shown us anything (New Orleans Saints Draft in 1999) it’s a move that has the likelihood of sinking worse than the Titanic if it doesn’t work out.
