1.03 vs 1.04 (1 Viewer)

[Hoosier16]

Now that the first 3 rounds are finished, it seems like the value between 1.03 and 1.04 has widened. Prior to the draft, many were saying they wouldn't mind any pick in the top 5. I think that has now been reduced to the top 3.

So, what's the value of those 2 picks on the edge of the gap. If you owned the 1.03 and the owner of the 1.04 wanted to trade up, what else would you need to part with the 1.04? For simplicity, let's keep everything limited to draft picks, since people's perception of players varies so much. On the other side, if you were the 1.04 owner and wanted to move up to 1.03, what other pick(s) would you give?

If I was the 1.03, I think it would take quite a bit to part with it. I think I'd want a high 2012 pick (a likely non-playoff pick with a chance at top 3). I don't think I'd trade it for the 1.04 and 1.05.

If I was the 1.04 owner, I think I'd add the 1.07 or 1.06, or a random 2012 pick (border playoff). Any thoughts?

Just dont trade down from 1.3. not going to be worth it unless you get a king's ransom.

 

[fruity pebbles]

I wouldnt trade the 1.03 for the 1.04 and the 1.05 so its worth atleast twice as much.

 

[finito]

I'm very high on Williams so I'd consider moving down for a price.

As always, it's about perception at this point. Last year going from 1.05 to 1.04 was almost impossible. I sat at 1.06 and offered three first rounders to move down to 1.04 and was turned down.

The perception at the moment is that you have 3 can't miss players and then it is a crapshoot.

That being said, while it may be a crapshoot after 3, there is a lot of talent this year in that 2nd tier.

And if you are a big believer in Ryan Williams, than this isn't a bad place for him to go. Same with Thomas.

Leshoure also may have found a great home. I remember last year some Cal fans saying that while Best is dynamic, he's an injury waiting to happen.

With that offense, Leshoure could be an unbelievable back in games where Best misses time. But if Best returns to how he looked at the start of 2010, Leshoure may just be a big change of pace back.

In any event though, Williams, Leshoure, Thomas and the rest represent some uncertainty. And I feel no uncertainty about the top 3.

So I wouldn't make a move out, and I'd try to get in if you can.

FYI, I just made a trade in one league where I gave up Maclin and Emmanuel Sanders for 1.03. I like Maclin and the trade hurts me for this year, MAYBE. But I swing for the fences and the top 3 guys all have superstud potential, while Maclin does not.

Here's a trade I made two days before the start of the draft, I highly doubt I could get this same deal post draft for the 1.3, .... 1.4 + 1.9 for 1.3 + 2.10

Yeah that trade would be done in a new york minutes for me. Very likely that you could steal a guy at 2.10 that could be very comparable to the 1.9. And in return you get a potential superstar.

So who are the top 3 now?1) AJ Green2) Julio Jones3) Daniel Thomas?I am not happy about where Ingram, LeShoure, and Williams landed. I'd rather take a shot on one of the RB's drafted later that landed in a more desirable spot than waste a pick on one of the aforementioned 3. Sure, Ingram, Leshoure, and Williams may be more talented, but who knows what will happen in the next couple of years. They could be bumped down even more when their respective teams draft the next RB or the next head coach brings in his guys. I'm growing tired of these GM's coaches drafting BPA when they may only see the field 10 - 15 times a game (if they are lucky) instead of taking players that fill needs on their teams. They are ruining fantasy football. RB's are becoming a thing of the past as far as their importance to a fantasy (and perhaps real NFL) team.

No way I trade down from the 1.03 to the 1.04-1.08 unless it was a *very* generous offer. Way to steep off fall off after the 1.03.

at him acting like Daniel Thomas could leapfrog Ingram.

that just isn't happening. I actually like Ingram's landing spot. He sure as hell doesn't have to worry about PT and Reggie Bush is history in NO.

I will.I have 1.03, and if Ingram/Green are gone, I am auctioning the pick. If I can get a kings ransom, and still get Thomas or LeShoure, fine with me.I don't think Jones is in line for WR1 numbers for a while.

Yeah I don't see what's not to like. I could see Ingram score 12 to 15 td's without 300 carries. 8 to 10 on the goal line work alone. And if you want upside, there weren't many places better for him to go.

And the good news for Ingram is that he is not going to get overworked. The Saints will still throw the ball a lot, and he will likely be the clear RB in the Red Zone. A very good situation for Ingram.
