Retro Bowl 25 Draft & Trading Guide

The draft is where you win long-term. Trading is how you fix weaknesses fast.

Draft approach

• Draft for need + value: take best player if the drop-off is big.
• Early: aim for a QB/WR cornerstone if you don’t have one.
• Mid rounds: depth, especially for injury resilience.

When to trade

• If a player is expensive and replaceable, trade before decline.
• Trade to patch a single “game-losing” weakness (no QB, no WR, zero defense).
