Ok, perhaps I was being hyperbolic. I like Kirk. He’s a nice piece.I don’t really feel like Kirk is that much of the equation.I got offered his T Lawrence and Kirk for Hill and 1.02 in a 12 team SF league.
I need a QB and I’ve been sitting on Ridley all year. I am pretty close to accepting this offer. However, I could just hold and get the top QB at 1.02 and stick with Hill. Am I overthinking this?
Wow...tough one...usually I am good with going to the mat to get a top-shelf, young QB like Lawrence in SF...in this case that price maybe too much because you are probably guaranteed to get Young at 1.2 (I am assuming Bijan goes #1.1) and there is a big gap between Kirk and Hill...I would try to get more creative with that second piece instead of Kirk (who I do like but not this much...especially if you have Ridley as well).
For me it’s TLaw for 1.02+Hill
Feels like we know TLaw isn’t a bust. As a Zach Wilson shareholder I feel like that’s worth the price alone.
Potential hindsight kicking oneself if Young or Stroud goes ham, but equal potential of Young or Stroud being well behind TLaw for a couple years.
Kirk is coming off of a year where he went 84-1,108-8 on an ascending offense that has invested big $ in him...not sure how you can say that is not at least part of the equation...now, I am not a fan of Kirk in this deal which is why I would try to get a second piece that does more for me...I don't disagree about going all in on Lawrence and you do have to overpay to get him but if I am offering 1.2 and Hill I am going to definitely talk to the Hurts, Allen, Burrow and Mahomes Owners to see if they have interest....as well as just dealing Hill to see if I can get another quality QB while keeping the 1.2...while you make a great point about the downside of 1.2 the upside is Young ends up close to Lawrence in fantasy and you also lost one of the most dynamic players in Hill...this is a tough one which is why I would try to do something different than Kirk.
But the prize here is TLaw.
Hill is great. He’s also about to turn 29. Kirk is 26, so CFG would get 3+ years younger at WR in this deal as well.
I agree about the downside. Definitely potential for Young to be almost as good, or even as good as TLaw. But it also seems likely that Young will be in a significantly worse situation than TLaw for a couple of rebuilding seasons.
I guess I was trying to say the price CFG would pay for the safety of TLaw here is basically Hill. But you’re right - it’s actually the difference between Hill & Kirk. In that light, I like it even more.
I have the 1.02 and I’d pay this for TLaw if I had Hill & a willing partner.
Would all depend on what my roster looks like...on one hand I don't think you will regret it in the long run but on the other hand I do feel like I might be able to do better if I dealt those two assets either together or separately than Lawrence and Kirk...I guess I am 50/50 on this one and ultimately how one feels about Young goes a long way towards what you would do.
