2012 Offseason Dynasty Trades (1 Viewer)

12 team PPRA gave: 2.11B gave: Brandon Pettigrew
i cant really see any reason why someone would give up pettigrew for a late second. doesnt make sense
A lot of the trades here lately are really head scratching - to the point that this thread is helping me less and less for determining actual trade value. Some trades can be explained by the context of the league, but even if the owner was overstocked at the TE position, I would think he could have done better than the 2.11 - I dunno, perhaps Pettigrew was shopped around and that was the best offer. :shrug:
Some background, which I should've included the first time...Our league has 2 new owners that are conducting a dispersal draft. At the point of the trade, they were a little over halfway done. One guy had 2 TEs (Gates, F Davis) and the other guy had none. The best rookie pick available was an early 3rd. The guy w/ 2 TEs dealt me his dispersal pick that was on the clock for the 2.11. The other guy had planned to take Pettigrew.
if it came to that, I'm sure the dude could have just grabbed Pettigrew and got a much better pick from someone else
 
12 team PPR

A gave: Vernon Davis, Chris Johnson

B gave: Chris Wells, Ryan Williams, Jermicheal Finley, Delone Carter, Kevin Kolb, 1.9

 
12 team PPRA gave: Rivers/Ford/2013 4thB gave: Romo/Hankerson/2013 2nd
Romo side wins easily.
I was the Rivers side on this one. Personally, I have Rivers higher than Romo and Ford/Hankerson fairly similar (I like Hankerson a bit more, but I'm pretty high on both). I am willing to give up the 2013 second for that upgrade. Care to provide feedback on why you think it was an clear loss for me? I am getting my feet wet in dynasty over the past few seasons, so anything that may give me perspective is great.I've never been one for hoarding picks, although I generally like to hang on to my first rounders. I did hate giving up Hankerson, but I have him in every other league I'm in...so it he blows up, I won't feel too bad :)

Team A gives:

Andre Johnson

Mendenhall

Team B gives

Forte

Ryan Williams

2.6

After trade starters:

Team A has Megatron/Fitz/AJ Green at wr and Rice/Forte at rb

Team B has

Murray/Mendy/Helu/Thomas at rb and Welker/Wallace/Andre at wr

B was really hurting at wr so I can see why he'd go after Andre. He was having to choose between Collie/Amendola/Bennett/Cobb at wr3 so this really strengthens his wrs.

I like Hankerson more than Ford by quite a bit and I think Romo is going to have a huge year in 2012. I like him better than Rivers in fantasy. The only time I would take Rivers over Romo is if we only played fantasy football in December. ETA: Also, 2nd rounders can be very important in dynasty leagues. Don't you forget it. You don't just give them away. There has been many studs taken in the 2nd round of dynasty fantasy drafts.

Freaking ouch to the team who traded Dez Bryant for that. That is a very very bad trade.
When I was offered Big Ben and Dez in this deal I did an insta-accept. I like Eli a lot and Bryant seems to not be maturing as quickly as we hoped but as a team needed to add some youth at WR this was an easy add.

Team A gives: Larry Fitz, 3.05Team B gives: Julio Jones, 2.04
What is the consensus on this one? I was the one that traded away Fitz. Guessing pretty even since there were no comments...
Pretty close. The Fitz owner seems to be trading consistent proven numbers in Fitz for a young elite looking WR. I would feel more comfortable that Fitz will be a top 5 WR over the next 3 years but Julio has a chance to be just as good for 10 years.

Ya think?No-brainer, even if you don't like Dez.

So I heard. :o
Zealots scoring, no ppr- I just traded Ben R & Dez B for

Eli Manning & 2012 2.06 pick

It was the quickest accept I've ever seen, so I guess I want to see if I highballed Eli. I had concerns about both Ben & Dez, plus I'm a bit of Manning homer. I can start Calvin, Fitzgerald, & Julio Jones at WR, so I didn't leave any holes there. With the extra 2nd I have a couple of pieces to get back into the 1st round now. What do you think about the trade?

I obviously made a mistake on this trade. I had already made it known that Ben & Dez were available for trade & got NO bites (at all). No question- I should've asked for more. I've already explained my reasoning though- I have concerns about Ben & Dez & I think Manning has elevated his game, has good pieces that should stay together for the next few years, & I am a fan. Considering their total points from this year (& discounting the future growth of Dez which I am uncertain about), Manning scored about 100 points more than Ben, Dez scored about 150, so that leaves a net loss of 50 points, which I am hopeful the pick & a piece or two will help me to recoup.ETA: No question it was a bad move. I didn't think it through enough when I sent it. I just hope it doesn't hurt me too bad in the long run.

I was actually surprised you did not get heavy interest in Dez Bryant when you made him available several weeks earlier. I wanted to make an offer but without a first round pick did not feel I had enough ammo. I wouldn't feel bad about it. As you said you got your QB upgrade. It was just an easy accept for me because I am getting pretty old at WR (counting heavily on Steve Smith and Colston).

Of course YOU don't think I should feel bad about it. :cry: :justjoshing: What's done is done. I just hope it's not one of those deals that haunts me if Dez blows up.

* team 1 already has Aaron Rodgers, and again you only start 1 QB weekly

** team 1 already has 4 other 2014 1st round picks; now has 5 of first 10 picks in 2014 rookie draft

What about right now?! Team 1's current starting lineup is Rodgers, Rice, Calvin, Nicks, Finley/Davis as the TE, and pick 2 flex from V Jax, F Jax/Spiller, Mendy/Redman, J Stew, Ingram, Crabtree, D Thomas, Kevin Smith, and the TE he didn't start.

I like it for both sides; maybe moreso Fitz who appears is going to have a Donald Driver / Jerry Rice esque career as far as longevity goes.

I agree...I think if I trade Lesean I want at least the #1 pick...
 
Just did this:

GAVE

QB Ben Roethlisberger

TE Jermaine Gresham

2013 3rd round rookie pick

RECEIVED

QB Matt Schaub

TE Chris Cooley

2013 1st round rookie pick

Not wild about giving up Gresham, as I think he has the potential to be a star, but I already have Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Graham on my roster. I felt Roethlisberger and Schaub was close to a push, and the draft pick should be more useful to me than a backup TE (albeit a very good one).

 
Just happened, was not involved in this.

League's been in place for 10+ years already as a keeper/dynasty. In it's inception draft, Stephen Davis was a first rounder. I think he's safe on that end.

I didn't really like this trade when I saw it come through, but I understand your thinking on it at least. Then again, I could just be a little jealous because I wanted to get Gresham from you.
 
This trade went down in one of my leagues today, pretty bad imo. Jordy is round 4 in ppr startup while DJax is 6 OR 7 from a few drafts I've seen.

Team A gets DJax and a 3rd

Team B gets Jordy Nelson

 
10 teams, 1qb/2rb/3wr/1te/1flex(any)/idp, ppr

Team A: gave up Meachem, Robert NOS WR; Year 2012 Draft Pick 1.04;Year 2012 Draft Pick 2.04

Team B: gave up Bush, Michael OAK RB;McFadden, Darren OAK RB

It's a contract year league, and Bush and McFadden only have 1 year left on their contracts, so they'll both be RFAs in 2013.

I still like the trade for Team A though.

 
I don't like the trade either, but it's hard to judge without knowing the particulars of the scoring format. I play in one league where passing yards and TDs count the same as rushing/receiving. In that format you have a rock solid top 3 of elite prospects in Luck, Richardson, and Blackmon. I don't think McCoy is worth THAT much more than the 1.03 pick. Fred Davis and two additional firsts is potentially a lot of value depending on how the draft picks are used.

I don't think it's too bad. Last year will likely be Jordy's career best season, and Jackson's career worst. So a year from now they'll probably have nearly equal value.

I think lesean and the 1.03 are on different planets in most scoring systems.

I concur and reiterate...Team A is insane.
