My thoughts exactly. High price, but sometimes this is what it costs to get an "elite RB" in Dynasty formats.
Like this for you since everything I'm reading is there's no franchise QB in this draft. Would like it for you even if there were.
Love it. Ryan has little value. Cook always seems banged up and the RB lifespan is short. Hill probably has a few good years left but you got a top QB in return so you are going to pay for that in SF.12 Team SF/TE Premium PPR
Context: lost in championship and desperately need to upgrade my QB position with a true anchor. League is three years in and I tried to make it work by focusing on value at other positions and it darn near worked. QB’s before trade were: Ryan, Heineke, Goff, Newton, Fitzmagic.
Gave: Dalvin Cook, Tyreek Hill, Matt Ryan
Got: Josh Allen, 2023 2nd
Trade calculator’s varied in their views but I knew needed to give to get and that situation at QB was simply unsustainable.
Flame away.
Not gonna flame at all. Getting Allen in SF is huge. RBs get hurt a lot and typically have a short shelf life. Cook is an extreme example of this. Ryan looks kinda washed (despite some good FF compiling numbers in games that the Falcons were constantly playing from behind) and that leaves Hill, who is capable of being the top WR in FF, but hasn’t really been this year or last. He’s kind of a boom or bust player these days.12 Team SF/TE Premium PPR

Appreciate the replies and perspective provided. And I agree with those points as they were ultimately why I traded those specific players off of this squad. Highest perceived value (other than Ryan) and WR is becoming flush with young talent.
He was literally wr1 or wr2 overall last year with davante and finished top 6 again this year?
Love this deal for you! If I had the 1.1 I'd make this deal every time, especially in TE premium.
I was surprised there wasn’t a little more back and forth. I have three 2nds in 2022 as well, and I was prepared to throw in one of those if he was close but not quite there. Fortunately, I didn’t have to even come off any.
Steal for you. The only thing holding Pitts back is TDs. Pitts has the volume covered. Without question, he will be a top 2 target in ATL for many years. If he can be established as a constant red-zone weapon, he'll be untouchable.
Didn't have to add a 3rd. Received a third. Almost feels like humble brag by the OP. Lol

As a dude who just paid up for Josh Allen in SF, this is an easy win for Team A in my book. Sure, Wilson still has value and I own Renfrow in 4 of 5 dynasty leagues so love him but this is a small price to add to Wilson to get Allen. As for Beckham, who knows...
Looked at your rebuild and this jumped out at me as giving up way, way too much for too little. Can you tell me why you liked this trade for you?
It was overpaying for Chase to be a building block of my rebuild. This was after Chase’s first 200-yard game. I’m still ok with it. I look at it as Diontae and Godwin for Chase, MWill for Claypool, Stevenson for G. Davis, 2.09 and the other pieces. Basically, I got my guy and knew I was overpaying to do so. But, I may have underestimated the gap between Diontae and Claypool at the time. I traded for Diontae in my other dynasty where I won the title, and love him.
Heh, yes, I traded for the two Chases. I liked the idea of getting both and making that my new team name. Though I'll be looking to trade some WRs this offseason (anyone other than Chase and Waddle), and so Claypool may go if someone wants him.
I thought the same thing and was like, rebuilding by trading good players for less good players is not the way to go.
You could end up seriously regretting this trade depending on how Burrow keeps developing and who you get at 23 1st vs 23 2nd. Teaming Burrow and Jamar Chase could have been the bedrock of your team, and if Fields doesn't get a great new HC he could flop hard.
Yeah, that's the one I regret, especially after getting Chase. But, in my other dynasty orphan I took over at the same time, I also had Burrow and traded for Chase, and I took the previously winless orphan to the championship in year 1. So I've got the Burrow-Chase combo there, and don't mind doing something different in this league with focusing my rebuild around the two running QBs. When I made the trade, Sanders had just gotten injured and Gainwell was looking promising. Fields had just become the starter and hadn't looked awful yet. I was looking to add 1sts, and I felt I was adding one here plus a RB with potential while the QB swap could eventually even go in my favor. Burrow was putting up pretty pedestrian totals early in the season. It could still turn out that way, but isn't looking so good now. I did also think that he figured his 23 2nd for my 23 1st wouldn't be that big of a difference, while I'm confident I will make the playoffs next season. As I said, this was the first time I missed the playoffs in a dynasty league over 14 years, and I'm not planning on doing it again. I think I have the ammo on my team to make sure that doesn't happen. And he also might not do as well as he expects. But if I looked to do this trade right now, I would want more back to swap Burrow and Fields.
I gave away Goedert in trade No. 5 for the 22 1st of a 3-6 team. And that pick was so close to being 1.04, but turned into 1.11. Not a good move in 1.5 TE premium. I'm hoping to use some of my picks/WRs to get Pitts this offseason. Thinking I'll start by offering his choice of 1.03 plus a WR (other than Chase/Waddle) or 1.08 plus two WRs. He's pretty much got no one at WR after Tyreek and Keenan, and I have his 1st.
