I'm not sure Drake London's production thus far is something that warrants pick 23 in a startup, even accounting for the circumstances.
His value seems hugely inflated to me.
London is really good. You are not accounting for the circumstances enough.
Here is the thing with Drake London (and for the record I'm a huge fan). He hasn't produced top numbers yet. That is the reality. Yes his situation was horrible, run first offense with bad QB play.
His situation should greatly improve. I'm very excited to see what London can do in this new offense. Is he worth pick 23 in a start up? Maybe - if he hits his potential but I can't spend a 2nd round pick on potential in a start-up. Right now you are paying for potential rather than a proven asset.
Now to the guy asking about 1.07 and 1.13 for London. While that may look like a decent offer its a slight overpay for what he has done up until this point. IF he hits his potential then its not a bad deal. I don't think you can say it isn't enough because he hasn't done it yet. Here is something I would look at - what could 1.07 and 1.13 get you from a WR perspective? I bet if you went WR shopping the week of your rookie draft those 2 picks could get you a really nice WR that has hit close to top 14 (WR1 #s).
Now I saw top 14 as I assume this is a 14 team league. Then you have to look at a 14 team league and 1.07 and 1.13 can give you extra depth to compete in a 14 teamer. With QBs being a need in a 14 teamer you might be able to pick up a rookie QB AND a good WR with those 2 picks.
1.07 (Bowers, JJ or Thomas)
1.13 (Penix, Franklin, Brooks, Benson, Worthy etc.))
Gotta put some names to the picks. Bowers + Penix/Franklin/Worth or Drake London? 1.07 and 1.13 can net you a lot in a 14 teamer. As much as I like London I'd probably keep the picks or trade for a different WR like Aiyuk or Pittman or DJ Moore. Heck scroll down the WR list and see who ahs been productive. Can likely get one of them for a 1st and you can keep the other pick.
