I would agree that currently JT < unknown landing spot of Bijan
The whole LV scheme is unknown. Carr’s departure leaves uncertainty for pass game and offense.
Why would some one hold Love all of this time in Super Flex - and when it looks like he’s finally got the starting gig, move him for a future 2nd? Seems like an insta-reject.
I’m not sure - maybe in “game theory” but honestly in this draft Bijan is the prize. I’ve been more excited about picks 1.02-1.03 in past seasons much more than this one, despite all the crazy hype last offseason.
I can honestly say there is no situation that would unfold I'd take Taylor over Bijan. For one a lot of those "bad situations" you outlined apply to Taylor right now, with the exception of pass heavy which I actually view as a positive for a RB like Bijan.
I agree with this part that I have Bijan ahead of Taylor regardless of the team hat selects him.
It feels light because it's light. Not super light, but light
That’s about the most I’d offer for a 29 year old RB coming off an injury-plagued (limited with a hip injury, did not miss time) season on a shaky team.
At this point, if you're a contender, you ride Henry into the ground. He will get his numbers even if he's not posting 400+ touches a season. If you're not contending, I suppose you get what you can for him.
Large roster leagues, like the ones I'm in, have a TON of 'potential' guys on the bench. It's often a 50/50 on whether the player will even be retained. So keeping Love on a roster in those leagues is not a huge burden. That said, I haven't gotten any traction on Love for a 2nd so far and I'm not willing to give a 1st.
Injury plagued??
Wasn’t he hurt in 2022? I vaguely recall he was hurt.
Exactly. If I roster him in a win now league, he’s doing well, but my team isn’t actually looking like a contender, I’d flip the switch mid season and hopefully get a late 1st from a team that is a real contender that year. Probably best chance at the highest cash out value for Henry is during season from former contender to actual contender.
You said a guy had an "injury plagued" season, yet the only game they guy missed was a game he woulda played if it mattered.
Fine, one question mark. One for each game he missed in his injury plagued season.
It’s a fact that one doesn’t have to miss games to be injured. Players do play through injuries, and sometimes not very well.
Injury.......plagued.
Except that he did have several weeks where he played through an injury.
I am in favor of moving Henry for as much value as you get get right now in what will likely be the last time he’ll be traded.
It's close but I'd side with the 1.05 & DJ Moore side. I think 1.05 is more valuable than 1.08 by a decent margin and DJ Moore is more valuable than 1.10 & Pachecko who may not be long for the league if KC lets CEH walk and drafts another RB
I'm going to guess that the value is on the Pacheco side. But he scares me. I guess I'm still stuck thinking that he just can't be better than CEH when healthy.
Don’t disagree.
Full disclosure: I would be the one offering the 1.08, 1.10, and Isaiah Pacheco. That said, I am also a rebuilding team.
Assuming you currently have no QBs, do you think it would make sense to try to move two or three of those picks for an elite option?
Unfortunately, after checking around the league, that’s just not possible. There just aren’t that many franchise quarterback to trade for at this point in time.There are a lot of dicey options, but I’m not about to throw away a premium pick for a Geno Smith. And the teams with Trevor Lawrence, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Jalen hurts, etc. don’t have enough depth at the position to trade one of them.
Understood. It's hard to pry away the top QBs. You're certainly building a nice nucleus. I'm risk adverse. So I would probably move a couple of those picks for veterans.
Wouldn't you be more likely to draft Gibbs if you give Pacheco and get DJM? Honestly, making you pick Gibbs might be the best and maybe only reason to do it. I love Gibbs. He's Jamaal Charles.
That’s why I’m considering DJM over 8 & 10.
That’s the flexibility that adding DJwould give me, yes.
Got Pacheco on one team only, picked him up in initial FA run, and there is no player I've been trying harder to trade this off-season and this is coming from angle of I think my teams biggest need is more youth at RB. Have been trying to kick in stuff like 2.12 and or Doubs for mid to late 1's and no one is taking that bait at all, no counters or anything.
He averaged more yards per carry and looked better.
What you say has proven to be true. I would add this is not SF so just wanting to make it clear I'm not like trying to get a mid to late first in that format and what got me to start throwing out those offers was seeing someone post in the trade thread something like they got 1.7 for him. I saw that and immediately went about trying to get something similar and throwing in Doubs(who I'm going to release if I can't trade) and/or the 2.12.
I think Henry's highest return will come mid season to a competing team needs RB help. Right now everyone is trying to lowball using age/workload as the reasoning why they can't pay full value. But mid season for a team needing an infusion for a playoff push will give more because that value is immediate. The only risk is Henry getting injured early or the Titans completely flopping. It's a risk but likely worth the reward IMO.
I understand. Just can't make myself believe he's a better player.
I think the value is probably with the picks. This comes down to available roster spots and your personal ranking on this year’s rookies. I’d probably lean the Moore side to jump a tier and have a proven player.In today’s episode of “what side would you rather have”, I present the following scenario:
Team A gets: 1.08, 1.10, 2.01
Team B gets: DJ Moore, 1.05
Team B also has picks 1-4, and this would lock up 1 through 5 + Moore
I’m conflicted - there are some nice targets at 8, 10, and 13. One could theoretically land one of the top 3 WR at 8, a nice RB at 10, and BPA at 2.01 (RB/WR/TE). But no guarantee that a Levis or ARich goes 5-6-7, so…
On the flip side, landing RBs 1-2, QBs 1-2, and WR1 + DJM feels like a fairly strong rebuild. Moore is 25, 26 in October.
I do think it’s fair. Maybe a slight overpay by team B. Also slightly more risk by having one fewer dart throw. Probably offset by the known commodity of Moore.
That said, also a bit concerned that Moore still doesn’t have a QB.
Which side do you want for a rebuild?
