Episode notes
Don't Spam Tags During Drafts
- Stop tagging people multiple times to remind them they're on the clock; it irritates active managers.
- Assume most managers have notifications and only tag if someone explicitly asked for reminders or is known to be away.
Why Startup Trade Volume Is Shrinking
- Startup trade volume appears to be dropping because managers expect trading flexibility and the player pool feels flatter.
- Many drafters now prefer trading up into early rounds while avoiding paying fair value to move down, reducing completed deals.
Stop Naming Players Before They're Picked
- Never mention or hype players before they're drafted; it changes other managers' decisions and can steal picks.
- Only name a player when you're genuinely on the clock and actually taking them to avoid baiting others or manipulating the draft.
