A good manager will be able to make drastic upgrades to their team in the first few seasons. By the time you hit season 5 you've probably filled in most of the holes. You've also learned more about what the red flags are. So the players on waivers/FA start to look less impressive in general.

One big negative is that there are a lot more eyes on the pool at this point, so more competition for skilled players. Round 1-2 can have some good stuff, but most teams will still have open space due to natural attrition. I actually find a lot of value after rounds 3-5. Because people start running out of space and have to cut guys they would rather not cut.
