2013 Off Season Dynasty Trade Thread (for completed trades) (2 Viewers)

Since Blackmon is a popular trade subject lately, this is one that went down a couple weeks ago.

12 team, 1 PPR

  • Justin Blackmon, Jared Cook, Taylor Thompson, Year 2013 Draft Pick 1.08;Year 2013 Draft Pick 1.11
  • for
  • Jimmy Graham
Interesting. I generally would prefer Graham, but I think I would take Blackmon / Cook + 2 picks.

 
That's fair. Not wanting to argue semantics or argue anything really. Just having a discussion.

The majority of Dynasty leagues I'm in the startups were done in the 2011 off season. So when Gresham, Gronk, Graham, Hernandez, and Moeaki were entering their second year. Most of these were 1.5 TE PPR leagues and I went after all these guys but got most of them except Graham who was a third round type at the time.

Between the other's I rated Gresham the highest followed in order as Gronk, Hernandez, and Moeaki. In one league I got all 4 of them but in every league I got at least Gronk and one more of the group. Gresham was a 6th-7th rounder at the time, the two NE"s were 7-8 round range and Moeaki was a late 11th-12th rounder.

So at one point I admit that I had Gresham rated over the NE's in large part because of his rookie year.. But when he did not show big second year improvement I moved him. Same for Moeaki and I"ll move Fleener and/or Allen next year in the leagues I own them if they don't spike their production up.
Don't know if Moeaki should be on that list, seeing as how he tore his ACL. And Gresham was young coming into the league, dealt with some injuries, and has still improved on his numbers every year. I personally am not ready to write him off. I'll admit he hasn't been a target of mine, as there seems to be at least one guy per league really high on him. But I certainly wouldn't be selling. And if his price keep dropping, I could send some offers.
I consider Moeaki's year two to be last year. Yes he was coming back from injury but he's obviously lost value, it's not a case of give him another year removed from the ACL and he'll be back. It appears he lost his job as TE1 on his team.

Gresham was young but was dealing with an ACL recovery of his own in year two. That's why I was so high on him entering year two. He let me down. From a pure statstical standpoint he's just not improved by much. Again very similar to Keller, Carlson, Zach Miller. Guys who came out the gate as solid rookies who for the most part maintained but never got better. In all of their cases their values dropped.

Who did he lose his job to? Fasano?

I think Gresham is simply more talented than any of those guys, and would invest accordingly. Just my stance.

I thought and continue to think that yes Fasano will be the starting TE for the Chiefs. Not sure of the entire details of his contract but $4.5 mill guaranteed on a 4 year $16 million does not seem like backup TE money. Moeaki seemed super talented but not sure he'll ever the same or can ever be counted on. His injury history going back to college is about as extreme as you'll ever see.

If you are happy with Gresham's performance I see no reason he's going to dip and it's realistic to expect some continued slight growth. I just think he is what he is, at least in this offense. I don't want to beat this to death any more than I already have so I'll just add this last comment.

In the last 20 years or so of the NFL can you come up with a TE who was a starter as a rookie, after 3 years showed a similar small statistical growth like we've seen out of Gresham who at some point in their career saw a spike in production? For the life of me I can only come up with one guy and he's been up and down and that guy is Heath Miller and in his case his production simply seems scheme related, he's always produced when he's gotten the kind of targets Gresham has got the past two years but most of his career he's played in a unfriendly TE system.

 
Now is a good time to take a shot on Fleener for a 2nd round rookie pick. I saw many Stanford games over the past few years and I think he's a much better athlete than Ertz, who some tab as a potential late first round pick tonight. Long term, I still think he has a chance to be the better FF weapon than Allen. And I'm of the mind that Indy's passing game has a chance to be like Green Bay and New Orleans with its ability to elevate the production of its players.

The downside with Fleener is that he's a bit old for a 2nd year player and he has a tendency to get dinged up. He's never had a serious injury, but gets nicked up very easily.
Indeed, drafting a TE the year he turns 25 has been the downfall of many a dynasty team.
He was the same age as Jimmy Graham when he was drafted.

I'd be interested in giving this a look, but we'd need to define the growth.

 
Team A gave: Bowe and Ryan Mathews

Team B gave: Fitz

Seems expensive for Fitz, but the guy who got him really likes him.

Point being that he arrived in the league as a finished product from a physical tools standpoint whereas a third year junior in the same draft class:

a.) Was not as far a long in his development when evaluated.

b.) Has more potential to improve.

I'm not opposed to drafting seniors or even fifth year players, but bear in mind that all else being equal, it's more impressive to earn X draft grade as a 20-21 year old college junior than as a 22-23 year old fifth year senior. Kind of like how it's more impressive for a high school sophomore to be a starter on the varsity team than a high school senior, albeit to a much lesser degree since the development gap between 16-18 year olds is probably a lot wider than between 20-22 year olds.

 
12 team PPR

Team A gets RG3

Team B gets Lamar Miller
You know me, I like RG3 here.

At this moment right NOW, Miller's value can not go up unless he gets into real game action and plays well. It can sure as hell go down if the Dolphins take a RB in the draft in the top 2-3 rounds.

They probably go pretty close together in startup drafts right this second, but RG3 is a decade top end QB, Miller is......................................a total maybe but does have potential

 
Team A gives: Forte

Team B gives: Vincent Brown, 2.04, 2014 1st

What're the team requirements.

Admittedly my brain said 'VB and the pick' as soon as I saw it, but I don't expect that many to agree.
1 RB required so it does lessen the value of RB's. I'm not a big Forte fan but I've lowered my outlook on Brown after the rebuilding going on in SD and hope that the 1st is at least mid-to-late.

Sounds like both sides should be relatively happy with the trade. Probably should have gotten a tad bit more for Forte, but if its only a 1RB starter and he needs a rebuild...

So many thoughts on this one but the short version is I think you won this trade and easily.

I knew CKC would eventually land a RB with all of his assets and he did. He's also still flush with enough assets to acquire more RB's or whatever else he needs and his team is still easily the best in the league but I think this was a case of selling low and buying high.

I'm bummed you took Miller one pick before me in the second round last year but that one pick had massive ramifications on my team, and the league for that matter,and I'm not sure yet if it's going to be good or bad yet but right now it stings a little to see him turned into RG3. On my end I lost out on David Wilson by one pick in the first and Miller by one pick in the secon last year and each time I lost out I picked a Colt TE. So once I lost out on my RB's I hoped to land and feeling better at TE I opted to pursue moving Gronk to CKC for Trent Richardson. So just funny to me how the difference of one pick in the second round has had such massive ramifications for our league.

I've bashed him enough but this only further illustrates the poor job the original owner of RG3 did with him. He's the one that needed to get younger and rebuild instead he wasted an entire year sitting on both Luck and RG3. Maybe I don't agree with the value CKC got for RG3 but at least he was active and moved him instead of sitting on him all year and doing nothing like the original owner who picked him. This is why non-active owners don't win.

I recognized that I was giving Henry a significant edge and told him as much before and after the trade (and I wasn't blowing smoke).

All part of the master plan though.

I think Miller can be a star and hated giving him up but getting RG3 sure beat the heck out of what another guy got for Miller in my other FFPC league when he traded him for pick 2.08.

My teammate wanted Stephen Hill at pick 18 last year but when Glenn took him at 17 we had to go another route and take Miller.

CKC has built an amazing team and Wayne had an amazing team the 1st two years winning it back to back. My team has sucked the last 2 years but thank god I didn't take that Dez for Benson trade I was offered last year and told "You are a hopeless case. Sad to say. Good luck with your 4-10 team."

I distinctly remember you asking if anyone wanted to trade up when you were OTC. I was telling myself just be patient, let it come to you. Again, maybe getting Allen and what ensued will work out better for me but we'll see.

Yea it's been a tough league. Weather one young team and now staring at another young even more imposing monster. My team actually finished second in scoring in that league last year but I feel closer to being the 6th best team than the first.

 
Los Angeles gave up:
Year 2013 Draft Pick 2.08
Year 2013 Draft Pick 2.10
Year 2014 Round 1 Draft Pick from Los Angeles
Year 2015 Round 3 Draft Pick from Los Angeles

Nantucket gave up:
Year 2013 Draft Pick 1.03

I would not have had to trade for a QB had I bid a couple more dollars on Kaepernick on the Friday you won him before he started his 1st Monday night game vs Chicago. No one had bid on him that Wednesday so I threw a $1 bid on him on Friday and you threw like a $3 bid or something on him.

 
All part of the master plan though.
I don't have any doubt.
Also forgot I destroyed my backfield for a 4th straight season I open with a terrible #2 RB by dealing Miller (Mendenhall/Stewart) sigh
As a Ryan Williams owner I'll be rooting against Mendy but not liking the early reports.

BTW I don't know if you can go back and see failed bids but you outbid me on Alfred Morris by $4 or $5.

$6 on the same day I got Bryce Brown for $2. Best day of free agency ever. I saw that failed bid you made that day. Morris payback.

Sorry for the thread hijack folks. We'll all in a league together that is mainly dead on conversation so you'll have to forgive us as this might be the most in depth conversation in the 3 years this leagues been going.

 
One I just saw happen in a 12-team, 25-man roster, PPR Dynasty league:

Team A gives:

Colin Kaepernick, Tony Gonzalez and 2013 pick 4.10

Team B gives:

Eric Decker, Hakeem Nicks, Jermichael Finley and Andre Brown

 
As a Ryan Williams owner I'll be rooting against Mendy but not liking the early reports.

BTW I don't know if you can go back and see failed bids but you outbid me on Alfred Morris by $4 or $5.
I can't go back and look now but I know exactly what it was I went $208 and you went $204 but I never knew who it was that went the $204. And yes I was barely outbid for Bryce Brown too I kicked myself all year for losing Kaepernick and Bryce Brown by such small bids (I had like $500 left with 2 weeks to go in the season) bad misplay by me there especially on Kapernick but I thanked my lucky stars for getting Morris by $4 every week of the year. I just wish I had got Morris in my other league I went $268 but 1 guy went $357 and I finsihed 2nd place because my RB's combined for 18 pts in the 2 week championship round costing me the championship.

 
I like the side getting Fitzgerald and Cruz. Harvin and Cruz is pretty much a wash. And nothing in this draft is going to equal Fitzgerald.

 
Two trades today.1.01 for 1.05 and a 2014 first rounderThen1.05 for 2.01 and a 2014 first rounder
Well done.
Thanks. I'm liking it more and more moving forward. In that format I'd be almost forced to grab EJ Manuel (start 2QB). I know this because I watched the draft with the owner I gave the 1.01 to and that's who he is taking. I'm really starting to feel this draft class is as good at 2.1 as it is at 1.1 -just a total crap shoot. I don't like Patterson in Minnesota. Of the guys picked so far I'd lean Hopkins. But he'll be the second or third option on a run oriented team. Tavon is not somebody I'd invest a 1.01 rookie pick on. Lacy going to Green Bay, St. Louis, or Miami would buoy his value somewhat but I think the league has spoken on where these backs belong. Glad I've trade out of the top half of this draft.

 
Sorry for the thread hijack folks. We'll all in a league together that is mainly dead on conversation so you'll have to forgive us as this might be the most in depth conversation in the 3 years this leagues been going.
We need an FFPC thread.......................maybe someone will start one, I don't feel like taking the initiative.

 
Anyone else reevaluating trades with picks in them after the first round? Not much seems to be lining up yet.
Think it stays much the same with me. No picks gained or lost value, and my first overall would still be attributable to the same player.

Much more comfortably 'settling' with Patterson in the middle.

Me too. That's a nice haul for Rice.
I liek Gronk more than Rice, and certainly jackson+Brown over gates.
easily Gronk side, not close to me here. Gates isn't Vjax right now, or even close to him.
