This is a potential bargain.
Massive win.
Agree - have no idea what they think they’re gonna pick at 2.10 that’s better than Purdy. Shocked anyone would accept that for him in SF.
I wonder what Bijan’s value is perceived at right now, pre-landing spot.
If I was in a startup that took place right now he'd be my third ranked player. But I historically tend to be more of someone willing to gamble on the unknown/unproven and bank on age/talent. He'd be my #1RB in dynasty right now. Probably get a few people who don't care about age and would still put CMC or Ekeler in this group but I'd have to think majority of people would take Bijan, Taylor or Breece as their top RB if they were drafting a startup today.
Depends were they are. I'd give 3 late's for him without a second thought but not 3 early 1's. Saying that I've never actually given 3 #1's or equivalent for any player in my life. I hate buying top of the market prices. Don't usually like making the top 2-3 picks in startups either for a similar reason. Buying at top of market can work out, but typically harder to gain value but a lot of room to lose a ton.
It me. I'm in this group also, as well, in addition to.
Agree 100%
I’m with you.
What an awesome outcome - congratulations!
First instict is to say good deal for the team getting Murray. I know a lot of uncertainty, but he's still young and they have so much invested in him that they won't rush him back. Maybe not a great deal for 2023, but like it long term.
It’s not bad for a 1 QB league. I’m not sure what Pierce is worth - he seems kinda fringy. 1.11 + pierce seems fair value for taking a chance on Murray.
Kind of my feeling on Pierce. I think he will be "OK" as well but certainly not a player you are kicking yourself down the road for moving him.
I got Pierce off the waivers at the end of November, so nothing really invested in him besides some FAAB dollars.
There’s guys like him on the wire every year. He’s been ok at times. That team needs a QB before I consider their skill players must-holds.
Really short benches?
20 roster spots including defense and kicker.
Yeah, sounds like FFPC rules, which are pretty short rosters. I’m still surprised that Pierce was straight up dropped in his rookie season when he flashed in a few games.
Also a Colts fan and a big reason I probably overspent my FAAB to get him when he hit the waiver wire. With a better QB I was hoping he would be more consistently targeted. Just going off memory, but Pittman seemed like a more hype prospect coming out of college. Both were taken in the 2nd round with Pittman at the very beginning.
I was surprised myself when he hit the waiver wire and as a Colts fan jumped at the opportunity to add him to my roster. Going into this offseason I had 10 cuts to make to accommodate for all my draft picks so I am looking to consolidate or push some picks to next year.
Seems about right. I would probably give a few picks higher for Njoku, but it's hard to find buyers for TEs in a lot of leagues.
I haven't done a ton of research on the '23 class, but in that vacuum, I'm bullish on Njoku and would probably give any '23 2nd for him even in 1QB.
Just a total non-believer in Etienne then???
I feel like I’m missing something because I can’t see how anyone would trade ETN for a decent but not great return.
Ok cool... thanks for the sanity check. I'm Team B. An insane sequence of events the last 2 weeks of the season dumped me from the playoffs right at the end and my picks that looked like they'd be in the X.10-12 range popped up to X.07's.
I’d easily pay that and more for njoku. He was highly productive prior to injury, and theoretically he gets a QB upgrade next year.
ETN and it’s not close.
You should feel ecstatic about it. Other than maybe a little guilty for robbing team A blind, of course.
Give me Pacheco, easily. But then again, I know picks are a little more valuable in SF. So maybe it would be close, but definitely seems like I'd rather have Pacheco.
I guess for the price it’s ok. 10-team league, so values are a little different than I’m used to.
Yeah, get what you're saying, definite risk that he gets some sort of Michael Carter treatment, but def needed to get younger and deeper at the position (previous RB situation was AJones, Kamara, Pierce, BRob then dart throws) so punting a future second seems like it's worth the shot. Have picks 14-16 this year as well so should hopefully have something work out
It is an upside/downside trade because it involves ifs...if the Chiefs don't add anything of substance this will look like a very smart move getting him before FA/the draft for only a #2...if the Chiefs add a Gibbs at the end of the first or a Tucker in the 2nd or 3rd or a quality FA (of which there are a decent amount this year) his value could take a hit...that being said you only gave up a #2 and even in a worst case scenario he will still be viable (i.e. he will get touches) and you can never have enough RB depth...one thing that concerns me about him is his lack of use in the passing game but on the flip side if he was good there you would not be getting him for a #2...the fact you also have picks #14 and #16 makes me like this deal for you since you still maintain the ability to grab an RB or two that could very well drop to that spot...that is a big factor in this move.
You keep 14 positional players in FFPC and prior to this deal I had 15 players that are productive or have some upside. Pierce seemed like a logical option to move prior to cut downs because he played well year one but doesn’t have a lot of draft capital, wasn’t used enough in the pass game and doesn’t feel like a true difference maker. I have 1.01,1.02,1.03,1.04 and an early 2nd in this league so pushing to 2024 was actually preferred to another 2023 1st. I also wasn’t getting any offers after posting on league board and sending a few other feeler offers out.
I get what you are saying but in 1 QB this is Bijan by a mile.
I wouldn't trade Bijan for anything less than 3 1sts and 2 of them would have to be top half and not too far out. Even then I'd have to be sure. Plus, no reason to trade him now as I don't see hsi value dropping. The right landing spot and he could be worth more than 3 1sts.
Nope, not too much IMO. Don't think I'd move JJ for that unless win now and a RB last missing piece.
