Nope, and I was team A. It was a lot to give but have a team that could afford to lose players and take chances.

Being able to afford losing players doesn't make it alright to throw things away, which is IMO what happened here. I get that Richardson is a great prospect but WOW.

 

[Warpig]

Julius Thomas

It is a salary league and I also saved myself about 1 million in cap space.

The LBs and Bradshaw were bye week fillers on this team. Nicks was a starter but WRs aren't very valuable in a nonppr where I start 3RBS. I think this trade makes my scores go up next year but I get value which is what you're talking about.

That may be true - but paying with Calvin Johnson is not buying low.

But it wasn't just calvin for ingram. I did get back a 27 y/o borderline top ten wr in Marshall too. You could say the gap/downgrade between marshall and calvin is essentially what I paid for Ingram. I felt that downgrade was a worthwhile gamble, especially considering my team / roster / rb situation. It's a tough league filled with excellent owners, and especially tough to get good, young RB's in. Taking a risk for sure (because we're still not certain on Ingram), but it's a risk I'm ok with. I have Calvin in a 12 team league as well, and would not trade him for the same package. Much different situation there.

I wasn't necessarily commenting on your trade in general, just in the "buy low" comment, and all that really matters is that you like it. I happen to be an Inram fan - but when you trade a player like Calvin you probably shouldn't take on any risk (obviously every trade has some risk, but I think everyone knows what I mean).I guess how I'd look at it is in a start up dynasty league I could see Calvin Johnson going anywhere from 1.01 to 1.06. My guess (and it is a guess right now) is that Brandon Marshall would be an early third rounder and Ingram a late third or early fourth rounder. In those terms it just seems like you could have got better value. I don't know your league and how difficult the trading is, and this argument is based more on value than what is necessarily best for your team in the long run. Honestly for all we know Ingram could finish as a Top 5 RB next year and then this trade looks good.

I just wouldn't trade Calvin for such speculative value (especially when his value is at its absolute highest based on his 2011 season).

These things dont always turn out how we think though - so good luck.

No way to say who won at this point. If T Rich lives up to the hype, then yeah obviously you got the better end. Either way, with your depth that you are describing, I think its a good risk/reward move to possibly lock up the next ADP at the start of his career.

I think the issue is that Calvin is one of those few players that you can find an owner to overpay for in pretty much every league. If you were committed to trading Calvin I find it difficult to believe that this was the best option in the league. I think you could have found someone to give more value.

I posted the trade initially even though I wasn't involved. I offered what I thought to be considerably more but in the end he did what he felt was best for his team and addressed his needs. He's an Ingram believer, so.....

Any chance you guys are good with posting that here? I think it'd be an interesting comparison. I have a suspicion on what it was being a member of the league and other recent trades, but curious to compare here.

Sure - there were a few configurations, but Gian essentially offered Vernon Davis, Welker, Knile Davis, Kyle Rudolph, and Meachum I think... that was the one I was considering (for Calvin and Nate Washington)Gian probably offered better value overall. But, it didn't address RB for me (this year). And we discussed this via IM - I'm generally not one to trade for value and flip (he is - he's really good at it, too). I trade more for my team. Probably not the best way to approach it, and I probbaly should work on that (after all, I typically never draft for need.) I mean, even though I didn't really "want" Welker, I could have traded him pretty easily (as Gian ended up doing).ETA - That's probably a good discussion to have - trade for "value" vs. trade for your team needs.

Yes, so considering the 1.5 ppr for TE, this is what you need to decide:Vernon/Welker/Rudolph/Knile Davis/Meachem/1.4 dev pickvs.Marshall/Ingram/Criner

[ConnSKINS26]

Gave:Brandon MarshallVernon DavisNate WashingtonGotarren McFadden

That seems like a good haul for McFadden.

Yeah, I think it was a pretty even trade. Especially since McFadden is such an injury risk. But I couldn't resist the possibility of starting DMC along McCoy, and soon, Trent Richardson. Still having Britt and Austin at WR, I made a tough deal that's the epitome of boom-or-bust.

The guy with the 1.02 wasn't interested in McFadden or CJ? Huge risk IMO but you can't really fault it in a 2 QB league, but it would have been better to move one of those other RB's.

Yesterday Calvin went in one of my leagues (I wasn't involved). Calvin, Colt McCoy, Thomas, Jones, 3.07forAJ Green, Peyton Hillis, Evan Royster, Laurent Robinson, 1.05I actually thought it was a decent deal for the guy trading away Calvin as I like the 1.05 this year.

Well, the guy who runs team A is an alumni from Arkansas, and we all live in TN, sooo needless to say, he had McCoy as his 4th best rb in his opinion, and offered shady up to the league as trade bait after the season ended. He's going to have Luck/Newton as his qbs, Foster, McFadden, Cj at rbs, but with only Britt as his only real wr, if he gets a random wr to pan out, his team will be real scarey for a few years.

PPRTrade 1Team A gave Romo, Holmes, mid 2nd Team B gave Dalton, Antonio BrownTrade 2Team A gave Romo, Holmes, Andre JohnsonTeam B gave Ryan Williams, StevieJ, DenMoore, Fred Davis

That 2nd trade is pretty bad in my opinion. Huge steal for Team B. I'd probably give all 4 of those guys just for AJ, to get Romo and Holmes also is great value.

[Skeletore Eh]

Davis had a slow start this year but you can't argue the years of solid production.

Here is a reason for his slow start.

http://blog.sfgate.com/49ers/2012/01/11/after-early-info-overload-vernon-davis-thrives/

Not sure you could find one person that would take Fred over Vernon. And it is a slam dunk. He is only going to get better. Did you not see the game vs NO. Cripes.

V.Davis has yet to hit 1K on the year and F.Davis was going to hit it in his first year as a starter (needed to avg ~50/game in last 4; given his YTD, that would be hit no problem). The NO game was impressive by V.Davis, no doubt, but SF doesn't play New Orleans every week (i.e., Smith isn't going to throw 40+ passes in a game very often). That's just not going to be a frequent occurence.

Yeah I'll still take Vernon. Another showcase of what he is capable of, and Fred is not.
