I think that’s a good point overall. As someone who owns both though, they are close enough if a lamb owner approached me looking to sell for BTJ and a first that’d be a pretty quick decline. If the approach is the other way around and someone asks “what would it take to pry away ceedee,” or the best player in the deal is more far and away the best player, yeah you can definitely ask for a premium
Love that move. In 2 years you might even have 2 starters on different NFL teams. ETA: this team is stacked.
No bargains were had this day, but I can squint and see it as close enough.
Agree, a future 1st & 2nd is closer although on the light side. 2 1sts, even late, is too much IMHO especially if Walker resigns next offseason. But that probably is what it would take as most owners who have both are thinking they may have two quality starters next year.
That’s just it - if you were acquiring them separately, I could see paying a 1st+ for Walker, and maybe 2x 2nds for Charbs
You sent Herbert, 1.07 and a bag of half deflated footballs for 1.03, Burrow, Andrews and Likely. Well done.
Cool rule, however, have you found it limits trades of first rounders in order for teams to maintain that 1 rookie starter?
Yeah. First round picks are incredibly valuable in that league since it's a lot more difficult to have a viable starter at rookie without one. But we still see them moved, usually by contenders who are loading up for a potential title run. Moving to PPR should help flatten value and make 2nd rounders more valuable, but historically, a rookie QB who starts is such a massive advantage that it's hard to overcome. One neat thing with the rookie starter is that this creates a lot of turnover year-to-year, with several instances of teams finishing at the bottom one season and then rebounding to being a title contender the next season.
Thanks. It's a fun rule that creates some interesting strategies and values. Although one unfortunate part is that whiffing on a 1st round pick can torpedo a season regardless of how good the rest of the team is.
Two best players are Odunze and Burden imo.
I am not sure I like this for the Bowers ROI. I prefer Bowers & Reed over LaPorta et al.
I like the Houshmandzadeh side of that deal.I made a huge trade
My 3.02 for his Dak
(Only had Stroud. 12 team, start 1 QB league).
Championship!
These are the trades that build champs, seriously. 3.02 is little more than a dart throw and Dak can easily be a top 5 QB in the league. Getting a player of his caliber for that little is a shark move.I made a huge trade

Similar to FFPC leagues that are 1 QB, and with keeper cut down in 1 week, those teams who held 3 QBs over the offseason are usually looking to move one of them, so value can be found.These are the trades that build champs, seriously. 3.02 is little more than a dart throw and Dak can easily be a top 5 QB in the league.

Agreed.
Win win imo
I'd rather have Pearsall. Why throw 2 darts in what looks to be a weak draft, other than qb and it's a 1qb league, when you hope to draft someone as good as Pearsall is going to be?
I think I go the other way on this one. I like pearsall and the opportunity he’s in for, and think he will be a reasonably good player but IMO he hasn’t shown enough yet to be viewed as significantly more than that same tier of dart throw; IMO this is trading one of them for two of them (though I’d def take him over either individually).
Cool, we can disagree.
I like Pearsall. But I'd take the picks, the flexibility they offer, and the chance to luck your way into a top-three pick. A 12-team, start 7, 1 QB setup is a weird configuration that requires studs. I don't see a stud ceiling with Pearsall.
I like Pearsall, but what has Pearsall shown thus far? He had a good couple of weeks, but is still unproven. He's as much a dart throw as the picks. Picks offer flexibility and free up a roster spot.
seems pretty square. Young definitely flashed at the end of last season and presumably has several years ahead of him in SF format. Hall is a RB and doesn't. And who has some questions.
Agree. Good move for Win-Now...
As always, consider your window to compete. With a bad team, I try to set a 3 year window to move into a more competitive spot. At that point, Dak will likely be out of the league and Lamar will be 31. I'd be hesitant to take on a 31 year old run-first QB in that kind of league. Besides, 2026 is supposed to be a pretty good draft year for QBs. As much as that deal likely favors your side, I would probably pass it up.
Agreed. Know your window of competing. When you build the rest of your roster, Lamar will be leaving and you gave up valuable Draft picks with nothing to show other than a QB at the end of his playing at a high level career. Aim younger and less expensive for a move.
Thanks guys. My biggest concern is that the 2026 class ends up being bad. Manning, Sellers, Klubnnik underperform or return to school and then the 2027 class becomes absolutely stacked.
I was the other side of this trade.
