14 team PPR devy league (tons of 2016 prospects owned). One round devy draft.
Gave:
Funchess
Two 2016 2nds
2016 devy pick (mid)
Got:
Gio (I'm the Hill owner and he was my only RB)
Thats a lot to give up for maybe 10 touches a game
Maybe. I'm personally a big Funchess believer, but he's no sure thing and I'm stacked at WR (like 5 top-8 WR's stacked). The 2nds are nothing, they are more like 3rds in a non-devy league. And the devy pick is a premium asset, probably the most valuable thing I gave up, but requires lots of patience and some luck.Gio, as the Hill owner, has a lot of value to my roster. For one, it's like insurance for my Hill stock, because Hill was literally my only startable RB.
So it was an expensive price to pay for a handcuff, but when you take into consideration that Gio is startable on his own as well, I think it was a strong move to bolster the depth and flexibility of a roster coming off a championship.
And putting aside whatever you or I think of Gio personally, which skews the perception of this deal obviously, on pure value I think this was not too much of an overpay. Especially taking Funchess' controversial value into account, I just traded a bunch of question marks for a guy still being ranked, in most places, as a top-10 or top-12 dynasty RB, who is only 23, Hill or no Hill.
