*** OFFICIAL *** 13/14 Off-Season Dynasty Trade Thread (1 Viewer)

Saw this the other day in a 12Team / PPR / TE bonus league (with devys) and I'm curious about thoughts on this....

Gave:

Jordan Reed, 3.11, 2015 2nd & 3rd

Got:

1.12, 2.04
It looks like a bad trade for the guy losing Reed, to me. In my TE bonus league, Reed scored 15+ PPG last season; on par with Eddie Lacy, LeVeon Bell, Vincent Jackson, Keenan Allen, etc. In a devy diluted pool--Reed is worth much more than picks 12 and 16.

Team A gave up Matt Ryan, Brian Hoyer, Doug Baldwin, Golden Tate, and Aaron Dobson

Team B gave up Sam Bradford, Ryan Tannehill, Roy Helu, Tavon Austin, Terrance Williams

PPR, 6 points for all touchdowns, 1qb, 2 rb, 2, wr, 1 te 2 flex (rb, wr, te)
I'd rather have the players Team A gave up by a goodly amount.

Think I would agree with this

I'm on the other side. I'd rather have Tannehill, Austin, and Williams.

I have a less 'murican opinion which is Team B.

I'm a big supporter of Watkins, but c'mon.
Agreed. Take out Jordy or the 1.11 and you can at least justify doing it.
Take out Jordy AND 1.11 and it makes more sense.

Even at that: giving up a future and likely very good RB (granted some risk yet), probable big time WR as soon as THIS year, and two more first round picks.

If THAT wasn't good enough ... you can have 1.01.

Cassel may make more of Patterson this year, granted. He showed value with Cassel at the helm and may have more pending new QB in two years time.

But that seems steep for a guy who has shown "flashes" and mostly on special teams. Bell and DJax will put up numbers now and for a few years. Patterson is a long term bet ...

 
I can see the logic in it if you're a Bell skeptic and a Patterson believer. Cash out a fraud (Bell) and an aging FF WR2-WR3 (Jackson) for a guy you think is a more legitimate long term talent. I hate Vereen, but most would say he's a significant piece too.

Not saying I love the trade, but it's one that could work out depending on how the careers of those two sophomores develop.

 
12 team start 1,2,2,1, 2 flex, d, k. .5 ppr 1 ppr for TE

Team A gave- 1.1, 1.11 and 3rd rounder in 15'

Team B gave- Gerhart, 1.6, 2.1

 
One owner who is in a bunch of different 12 team PPR dynasty leagues with me has made about a dozen trades in the last 48 hours. Just going crazy. Check these out

12 team tiered PPR (0.75/1.00/1.25) 1QB/1RB/1WR/1TE/3FLEX

Team A trades:

Shane Vereen

Greg Olsen

Team B trades:

Jordan Cameron

2015 3rd Rd Pick
Really surprised to see unanimous support for the Vereen side. In a 1RB-mandatory, tiered ppr league, I'd gladly take Cameron.
 
Gave: Cameron, 1.12

For: Olsen, 2015 1st

Other owner earned the 2014 1.01 and has a very good chance of doing it again. His team is pretty bad. He traded his 2014 1st early last year to me for Mathews, so his team doesn't have the ammo to turn things around quickly. The 2015 1st is a virtual lock to be an early one. My starting TE is Graham.

 
12 Team PPR

Team A Gave: Montee Ball, C.J. Anderson, Trent Richardson, Roddy White, Aaron Dobson

Team B Gave: DeMarco Murray, Toby Gerhart, Robert Woods

In two years max (likely this year) you aren't going to even be able to get Patterson for that. Let alone Vereen on top.
I think the other way, personally. A year from now people will realize that Patterson isn't the next Gordon and will move on ot the next shiny toy. Last year was Wilson and Miller (looking for Spiller), now it's Patterson, Hopkins, Hunter (looking for Gordon, Jeffery).

ETA: Patterson is going 1-3 rounds higher than Gordon/Blackmon did last year, before their suspensions. He's not close to the player that the other two were, this time last year.

The guy does things on the field that NO ONE else in the league can do. IMO, he was the most dangerous WR in the NFL in the open field from Day 1.

What makes you think he's not the next big thing? I'm guessing you are gonna say "he's raw....route running...etc.". Do you not think he can improve on that?

What other WR brings this (0:58, 1:15, 1:34) to the table? Especially at 6'3.

Want even more impressive stuff, look at his college highlights.

I really liked Patterson as a prospect, and owned him in close to half of my leagues because of it. I do think he can do things that very few can, especially at his size.

And you're right: He's damn raw. As a owner, I was really looking for signs that he could be a complete WR and I didn't see them. In fact, it was really awkward to watch Minny force him the ball toward the end of the season. I think he can be a bigger, poor man's version of Percy Harvin. At best, he'll be less physical, more elusive version of a healthy Miles Austin (who was a top 5 dynasty WR at one point); but that's best case, imo.

I do think he can improve, but I don't think the improvement is likely to take him from an awkward, unpolished WR to a polished one. A lot of people assumed Denarius Moore just needed some polish--but it never came. There are countless examlpes of players who just needed some polish, but never developed it. It's hard to learn on the job at this level, to the degree that Patterson would need to.

I know the highlights are awesome. Devin Hester was the most exciting player in the league for a strech...but if you can't beat NFL corners, it can only take you so far.

I think we're looking at a potential 70/1,000/5-7 with 200/2-3 on the ground. That's great and nothing to sneeze at. But it's not a potential worthy of his current price tag.

He's hugely dangerous in the open field, no doubt. But that's not nearly as unique a skill as you're making it out to be -- although it does become more intriguing given his size. If he doesn't develop as a technical route runner, none of it will matter. And that's not a sure thing.

As long as we agree the best case is he can be a top 5 WR for a decade.

Did Gordon develop as a technical route runner? Or was he just fed the ball and dominated physically? Let's not pretend he has to turn into Jerry Rice. Really I think the threshold is low for Patterson. He can't look lost, but he won't be expected to run lots of routes.

I don't agree with that. Would a healthy Miles Austin be in your dynasty top 5 today?

Gordon is well ahead of Patterson, in terms of technique, and has been every step of the way. It's not just that Patterson isn't Jerry Rice--it's that he's not an NFL caliber WR, technically. Even his 9 routes looked awkward. That's bad.
