The first week of May is my favorite on the calendar. I love puzzle-solving. No puzzle delights me more than trying to devise strategies to make the absolute most of my dynasty rookie drafts. Despite a decade of writing a monthly dynasty trade value column, I am rarely the most active trader in my own dynasty leagues. It varies from one league to another, but I average a few trades a year per league overall from June through April. May is a different story. I am a huge believer in moving around in rookie drafts to land as many of my favorite targets as possible. I get my guys as rookies and ride with them long-term. I am locked in on the trade front at this time of the year and love maneuvering up and down the draft board throughout my rookie drafts.

Part 2, coming later this week, will focus on the impact of the draft on veteran player values. My sincere apologies that the articles dropped late this month.
