I'm sure some would. Wheaton isn't exactly a slum dunk. On the team I'm looking to move Stewart he's basically the last remaining asset in a rebuild that won't be competitive until 2016 at best. He'd be fine as a short term flyer for a top team.
Yeah, great move. Frustrating from the POV of other owners to see the league champion not only winning it all, but then still get premium draft picks. Begins to feel like you're never going to catch up when leaguemates just bend over for the strongest team of the league like that.
i completely agree with you coming from the POV of other owners. at the same time, you just never know what is going to happen. I did a similar trade last year in one of my leagues that had everyone else in an uproar. I trade 1.11 for a 2014 1st from a weak team. the guy took keenan allen at 1.11 and the pick ended up as 1.05 this year. Obviously (and I think most would agree) I'd rather have allen at this point. this trade didnt exactly work out for me, but in a vacuum I agree with the strategy. trading late 1sts for early future 1st is a winning strategy in the long run IMO
Might be the cheapest price I've ever seen, in any season, to get someone to trade from the #1 overall out of the top tier of rookie prospects entirely. Nicely done.
Julio isn't worth that much.
I completely agree, though I have leaguemates laughing at me for not clicking accept with lightspeed.
If you did it the year before, you coulda traded down that high pick to get Keenan Allen and another 1st. Long term it works fabulously
Not sure which one I like less to be honest.
It would surprise me if many valued Cruz over Patterson. Patterson is still raw and outscored Cruz last year. Woodyard is a tackle machine in the middle. Smith isn't playing this year. Poe isn't a big scorer. We can run a 4-3 or 3-4 defense. There are plenty of DTs on the waiver wire that I can plug in.I understand Harvin is a dynamic player, but the past 2 years have been frustrating. The hip scares me. As I said I have plenty of depth at WR. In a league where you have to start 3-4 RBs I desperately needed to add 1. I have McCoy, Reggie, Sproles, Ingram and Ivory.
Fair trade. I still have my concerns about Gronk, and Ball is still a partially proven commodity.
I agree. Ball/Gronk in a landslide for me
He outscored Cruz? Only leagues I have that he outscored Cruz in are return leagues in which case I reverse my decision on that deal but would have been helpful to know scoring before. In straight PPR leagues Cruz outscored him by a solid margin still in Cruz's worst year
Yeah... not sure how Patterson could have outscored Cruz last year. Short of as you said, return yardage. Cruz averaged 12.68ppg last season in my standard PPR league vs Patterson's 9.40. Cruz didn't even play the last two weeks of the season and still outscored Patterson by 25 points. And as you said, if it's a return yardage league than that first deal actually seems really solid to me then. I don't put much value on a DT, usually you can get lucky off waivers on one. Every year I pickup a DT off waivers who ends up having a Top 10 season.
Fair trade, but I prefer the Wilson (and, I'm assuming, Watkins) side by a solid bit. I think that's a pretty good price for a strong QB with major job security in a 14-teamer.
I'll take Hilton et al.
I can see a FLoyd for Harvin/Ertz deal as even. ALmost seems like Gordon for free.
I had a feeling most would say that. I was the one getting Lacy. I had Spiller and Stacy at RB, did not want to have to choose which one to start each week, as I'm not overly high on either one (I ended up trading Stacy later on as well). My WRs are Dez, AJG, Jeffery, K.Wright, Hopkins and Cooks. TEs are Gronk and Cameron. The lineup is 1RB, 2WR, 1 TE, 2Flex (QB, K and D) So I can start:
Didn't know I'd have to throw in something with Harvin to get Floyd...as I like Harvin better than Floyd alone. If I'm competing now, I'd take the Harvin side - if I'm rebuilding I'd take the Gordon/Floyd side.
I can see preferring Harvin over Floyd straight up. I do also.
