5 Players to Trade for BEFORE the NFL Draft in Dynasty Leagues

The NFL Draft will certainly destroy the value of some players, mostly running backs. However, because dynasty leaguers are paranoid of the draft, there are a handful of players that it makes sense to acquire now before their respective teams potentially zig instead of zag in the NFL Draft, and then by mid-May these players have become rocket ships.

5. Devonta Smith

Eliot Wolf is just the latest person tied to New England leaving the door open for A.J. Brown. I’ve been mystified by DeVonta Smith’s static dynasty trade value given the likelihood that Brown is dealt.

Now, enter Dontayvion Wicks. He provides some cover for Philadelphia to potentially wait on WR in the draft in spite of shipping Brown out of town. Imagine a world where the WR corps in Philadelphia Smith (Y)-Wicks (X)-Hollywood (Z). Smith’s dynasty stock would absolutely surge in this scenario, and yet, this scenario is far from backed in at this point.
