One BUTTON After Another
“Quiet accumulation while everyone else lit money on fire”
Rajib entered with the second-best roster value in the league and treated draft day like a farmers market. He sold 1.10 to a desperate Jonny for 2.02 and 3.02, then bought two extra fifths off Shariati and Travis for a fourth he got from Ward Hogs in April. The picks became Jonah Coleman (22-year-old Denver RB), Adam Randall (Baltimore RB dart), Drew Allar (the QB4 of the class, pure Superflex shelf value), Seth McGowan, and Jameis Winston, who exists to narrate garbage time. None of these are headlines. All of them are fine. The roster is the story: Maye 23, Dart 23, Nacua 25, Nabers 22, Loveland 22, Jonathan Taylor still humming at 27. This team did not need a draft, it needed to not screw one up, and it did not.
THE HAUL
Jonah Coleman, Denver. Compact, violent runner behind an unsettled depth chart. Good swing at RB in a thin class.
Randall is a Ravens satellite dart. Baltimore develops RBs, so fine.
Allar. Superflex QB shelf math says always take this.
McGowan was on Kenny's own target list. Indy backfield behind an aging Taylor. Wait. That is Rajib's own Taylor. Succession planning, respect.
Jameis. Entertainment value alone clears a fifth.
Drew Allar at 4.07. Only three QBs in the SF top 30 of this class and he was the last one with a pulse. Round-4 QBs in Superflex are free equity.
Selling 1.10 meant passing on Omar Cooper, who promptly went to Jonny and looks like the spring's biggest riser. The return was fair, the counterfactual might sting.
3-YEAR OUTLOOK
Ascending contender, the 2027 favoriteTop-three finish is the expectation. Maye and Dart both starting NFL QBs at 23 in a Superflex league is a cheat code, and the Nacua-Nabers duo is the best young WR pair in LOTF.
My pick to win it. Full pick sheet, every core piece 26 or under except Taylor and Henry, and the Henry contract-year money can be recycled into whatever the roster needs. Deepest sustainable window in the league.
Still top three. Maye 26, Nabers 25, Loveland 24. The only question is whether RB got re-seeded in time, which is exactly what the Coleman-Randall-Giddens taxi track is for.
STASH WATCH
Jaylin Noel • Taxi. Houston slot with Tank Dell's injury history above him. Could be startable by November.
DJ Giddens • Taxi. Second-year Indy RB sitting directly behind a 27-year-old Jonathan Taylor that Rajib also owns. The handcuff that becomes the succession.
Kyle Williams • Taxi. New England gave him early-day-3 love and the depth chart is beatable.
