Keep in mind that expansion drafts essentially penalize very deep teams. We will only be able to protect so many players from an expansion draft, likely 12-13 at most.

So while we get a weaker schedule getting to compete more against expansion franchises we will possibly lose some depth.

Yep, just when we're finally a deep team. That being said, expansion will be probably 3 ish years out, so our roster right now doesn't really matter in terms of a top 8.

Just for fun though, I see as of right now 9 absolute keepers. I think our roster this minute may work out kinda perfectly for an 8 man protection:

Zion
CJ
BI
Trey
Herb
Jonas
Alvarado
Nance
Dyson(probably wouldn't have to protect newly drafted players, so the above 8 probably works)

Then guys you don't protect that I wouldn't lose sleep over losing any of them:

Jaxson
Kira
Naji
Graham
Temple
Willy

Teams are capable of cutting deals with the expansion teams.

We could throw a pick or two in with Graham to keep everyone else protected.
