Hmm, basically pick 11 to move up from Nicks to Blackmon (though I can understand at this point if someone said they prefer Blackmon to Nicks straight up).One More Rep said:Team A gets Hakeem Nicks/2013 rookie pick 1.6

Very little difference between the 1.05 and 1.06 IMO.

I guess sometimes it doesn't hurt to ask. I was scrolling through rosters, saw an owner who's best rb was Turner and figured what the heck, may as well ask. Never know what people are thinking -- he may view Hernandez as an injury risk or panicked at the need for rb -- of course, I wrote it up that way in the trade offerghostguy123 said:People need to stop selling him at wholesale prices.Steed said:Is Hernandez the new Finley?

I can't get him in any league I dont own him unless I pay through the nose.
. Either way, I now have Hernandez at a good price.Even if the guy dealing Hernandez speculated such, he could have walked away with quite a bit more than this, no?Steed said:Is Hernandez the new Finley?

Concur here. I like Nicks' as a talent over Blackmon, but when we discount for injury, the 1.11 is more than enough to bridge the gap.Very little difference between the 1.05 and 1.06 IMO.

I couldn't deal Dez for AJ. Just don't see that 370-400 point upside with AJ. If I was the holder of RG3/Dez, I would add nothing to get Luck/AJG, but instead would want a mid 2nd or so as a dart come draft day.Love this trade for Team A... RG3 and Dez both have continuing question marks... health for RG3 and attitude for Dez. I also think Luck > RG3; AJG > Dez.Team A gets:
RG3
Dez Bryant
Team B gets:
Andrew Luck
AJ Green
Seemed pretty even to me. Team A gets more upside, but Team B gets less risk.
Have to think at some point in time, even after 1 week, that Holmes will have more flip value than Kolb will ever have.16 team PPR, start 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex (R/W/T)
Team A gives Kevin Kolb
Team B gives Santonio Holmes

Absolutely. Holmes is a frustrating player to own, but he's proven his quality. He's going to produce like a WR2-WR3 when he's healthy and not suspended (in other words, about 50% of the time).Have to think at some point in time, even after 1 week, that Holmes will have more flip value than Kolb will ever have.16 team PPR, start 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex (R/W/T)

IMO Ryan is a better dynasty QB than Big Ben due to his being younger and having better offensive passing weapons. Ben always seems to be in the range of Qb10-12. Welker should be be better than Moore this year and next with Manning, but there are a lot of mouths to feed in Denver with Thomas and Decker there too. Moore is uncertain with either Flynn or Pryor. Moore has flashed great potential but misses too many games due to injury. He should be the WR1 for the Raiders with DHB gone. The 1.5 rookie pick should give you a decent shot at a good, not great player in this years rookie draft. Seems like a fairly even trade where you got older. That is not necessarily bad if you are in a win now mode and have a better qb that Big Ben.Fresh off the press. 12 team PPR dynasty league
I gave: Matt Ryan, D. Moore

People are more worried about winning titles 3 years from now they forget about this year. Take the upside instead of a virtually for sure producer. Not to mention ADP is 4th round for Decker and 7th for Gordon. Its a value game kids, you will lose yourself trying to score on upside. Heck Ballard even has a 6th round ADP. the 5th pick is an average 10 or lower round ADP. So again, based on opinion I lost the deal I guess, based of facts, ADP and production... there is no way I lost the deal. Oh, and is Turner even on a Team?
That last line of yours is pretty normal for Phoenix it seems... He can't stand it when ANYBODY thinks that his side lost in a deal so he puts in his justification for why he thinks he won EVERYTIME... I don't have a problem with him listing his reasoning on what he was thinking about in said deals but I do have a problem when he remains close minded and comes across like his opinion (and that's all it is) is the ONLY opinion that is relevant. Trading (especially in dynasty leagues) is very subjective as far as value goes and even more so with different types of scoring. Without knowing what each teams Now goals are or what direction they plan on taking with their team we are really just taking a look at all of these trades in a vacuum... It's fun to discuss and we can get a decent barometer at times with what REAL value some of these players are going for rather than counting so heavily on March or early April ADP...Edit to add: oh yeah and he likes to throw in little condescending barbs in his posts like calling us kids (perhaps inferring that he is an adult)Fact????

Great pt... Middle of last yr I couldn't get anything of value for Chris Johnson and eventually sold him for Vick and Alex Green and some late picksI wish guys would stop using ADP to assess deals. ADP is based on team need at time of draft instead of actual value of the player. According to ADP, Chris Johnson is being drafted before Crabtree, Nicks, Russell and RG3 for example. I don't know anybody who will move either of those players for Chris Johnson straight up.

It must suck to go through life without ever being able to deal with someone disagreeing with you in an appropriate manner. Good god.
I changed my mind anyway. I prefer Gordon and pick 5. Ballard is totally worthless, or at least will be when they draft/sign someone, or when they give him carries and realize how average he is. And Decker is hurt BADLY by the signing of Welker. Be lucky to score 200 in PPR.

Yup and some have Decker higher, including many respected people, one of them being Steve Holloway.FWIW I still have Gordon (a Browns WR) higher than Decker for THIS season and certainly higher than Decker going forward... Not to mention that if u are planning to get Gordon I believe now is the time to do it....And good pt... I will now officially ignore Phenix as I too have wasted too much time with him

No dispute there what so ever. I notice the majority of people who win have that player no one else wanted because they were old. Age is over rated, thats all, however my opinion is unpopular.Ugh...

I agree with the bolded, but also find the "no way I lost the deal" kind of funny. Gordon had a real good (productive) rookie season and has very impressive measurables. Sure Manning is much much better than Weeden, but Decker will likely be the third option in the passing game while Gordon is likely to be the first option. Weeden's improvement (which isn't a given) and a Norv Turner offense could lead to a better season from Gordon. If I had to bet though I'd go with Decker having the better season.Fact???? Pretty sure it isn't a fact that the 5th rookie will go in the 10th round or later in startup dynasty drafts. Maybe redraft, but that is a worthless measure.

Sorry to further rain on your parade but you lost the deal badly in my eyes.

I'm not a Ballard fan at all but willing to admit I could be wrong on that one and at this point there seems to be a better than average chance that he'll see the significant carries in Indy this season. I'm not sure they will spend a high draft pick on a RB.
That feels about right.Team a gives 2.02 (15th pick)Team b gives Sidney rice
Aren't most trades made because it addresses team needs? I wish guys would stop using the 2013 Off Season Dynasty Trade Thread to assess trade value because a lot of those trades are "based on need at time of trade instead of actual value of the player."I wish guys would stop using ADP to assess deals. ADP is based on team need at time of draft instead of actual value of the player. According to ADP, Chris Johnson is being drafted before Crabtree, Nicks, Russell and RG3 for example. I don't know anybody who will move either of those players for Chris Johnson straight up.
I cringe every time I see ADP mentioned in this thread. The problem is though that many are not willing to make their own calls, instead relying on ADP to run their squads for them. I use to use ADP more my first few years and often times would draft to it to be able to trade to it later.I wish guys would stop using ADP to assess deals.

You can make offers based on ADP, and in the same, as you note above, expect a reject because the offer you sent was not fair based on ADP. It's the trade seeker or the owner that puts a piece like Ballard on the trade block that should not be concerned so much with ADP (in my eyes), once they have determined said player is overvalued.Aren't most trades made because it addresses team needs? I wish guys would stop using the 2013 Off Season Dynasty Trade Thread to assess trade value because a lot of those trades are "based on need at time of trade instead of actual value of the player."I wish guys would stop using ADP to assess deals. ADP is based on team need at time of draft instead of actual value of the player. According to ADP, Chris Johnson is being drafted before Crabtree, Nicks, Russell and RG3 for example.

Chris Johnson's value is inflated due to the dearth of RBs and the amount of players who stick to 00s dogma of having to have two RBs to win. ADP is an indication of market value. It is not a measure of expected points; it is a measure of what everyone else in the community is thinking. Just like this thread.
You should not be surprised when someone turns down your offer of Johnson for Nicks, but given his ADP you should be somewhat confident you can find someone else who will give you a similar WR or QB or enough picks to find one.
Feels about right as well. I'd probably rather the pick but can see both sides depending on need and if a Foster owner.12 Team PPR with devy picks

I think ADP is very valuable and should be used as context for any trade. Not the end-all, but context. If the large majority are drafting Chris Johson over those players, it is for a reason; because of how rare consistent production from the RB spot is becoming. If you don't have that need, of course you are going to greatly devalue CJ. Just as you will greatly devalue RG3 and Russell if they're not your starting QB. ADP is no more flawed than any other hypothetical context we apply to a trade.I wish guys would stop using ADP to assess deals.

I'm pretty low on Britt right now, so this is close to me. But I'd take Wallace and Britt, too. After lowering Wallace's value after the trade, it's starting to rebound with the more thought I give it. The money is a very good sign, and I have read some nice things about Tannehill's arm. I'd still take Blackmon, but it's closer for me that it is to most, I think.I'll take Wallace and Britt.Team A gave: Blackmon, 1.12
