Default to roll or not to roll...

roll and even it out somewhat..what would be the downside of this if
any?..

Compacted soil.


Compacting the high points is what we want, at least if it causes the
low points to be filled in. Unfortunately, rolling has not helped my
lawn. I rented a standard 24" wide by about 15" in diameter roller and
filled it with water. This was towed around behind my tractor for
several passes. NFG.
