AJ by a lot. DGB is just a wildcard one trick pony red zone guy. Gio is solid but more of a scat back with very limited upside. Jimmy and Carey are belly button lint.
That is literally awful. Trash for treasure and FFPC roster spots are critical so they even get the advantage of opening 2 more spots.
you guys are making me fell bad, yes I am the side that got AJ Green and yes I was trying to open some roster space to keep a couple more guys but I don't think what I gave up is complete trash. Going into rookie drafts (I realize opinions vary) but DGB was worth an early first, let's say ~ 1.3, Gio being he is young and a FA after this season was worth ~ 1.5, and Jimmy Graham is like a mid 2nd. So in that respect if you take out your feelings of the players it would be AJ for 1.3, 1.5 and a mid 2nd which maybe is a bit light but I don't think it is awful
You're building a nice team. I can't believe Dixon fell that far. I hope he falls to me at 1.5 but it's not likely. All those 2017 picks are nice as well.
I did too - value was close, but I took Hill/ASJ. Been trying to buy ASJ lately and the price was worth it since the camp news on Brate's role drove him down a little. Lacy may sting a little in the ST though.
You are a little high on your rankings.
I think that's close to accurate.
ADP according to mocks (including/up to May) puts DGB just barely ahead of all rookie WR. But it's close.
Personally I'd not have done this deal if I owned Lacy just because I like his chances this year of being slimmed down in a contract year playing for a second contract(huge when you consider what he's made on his rookie end of second round deal). So I'd have held him on belief his value might take major spike and deal him at that time because I'm not very high on Hill or ASJ.
I was in a league where someone offered pick 8 to the entire league for a 17#1 and could not find a taker. Another league of mine I offered 1.8 to the entire league for a 17#1 and found one taker and it's a likely playoff team.
Good to know. This guy has now gotten picks 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8. He's given up relatively little and gotten great value back on trading guys like Palmer and Brees.
You went both ways on me! I think I dealt the best player in the trade in Lacy, but have been trying to get ASJ for a while. When you have a target and hear some recent bad news, but still believe in the talent, you have to take the window of opportunity while it is there. I just hope I am not trying to catch a falling knife instead.
I actually traded back with the hopes of getting either Dwayne Allen or Hunter Henry at 16.
even dumber deal for him then since he will be drafting all his favorite guys before he gets to pick 8
This doesn't help us much. This thread isn't about how you helped your team or what your roster looks like, it's about assessing players' trade value. If you were to list out each trade that would be much more beneficial.
I'm not a big DGB fan but anyway you slice it, I think it's pretty clear who won the trade. It doesn't mean anything other than the "general value" is sided in one direction. The other person might absolutely love DGB and was going to sell whatever he didn't like to get him and the other pieces. I disagree on your valuations for Gio and Graham too but that doesn't mean the other guy feels fleeced or anything. I feel like it's very light for a stud in AJ, the other guy is probably very happy to get a up and coming WR with great size, a RB who is going to be a FA and get into a better role (hopefully), and a former stud TE who could return to greatness. I don't know how their mind is viewing it.
I think it is a fair trade but I also think Crowder is going to see the field more this year than Smallwood. I guess if you are saying Bell may not be ok so Smallwood may get some touches on 3rd down behind D Williams than ok but I don't think that is 'an easier path'
I did talk about both sides of my mouth, probably because I like idea of both selling high on Lacy(which is not yet) and buying low on ASJ(which is now)
Well ya, that is a much longer path to playing time since Bell and DWill are on a different team than Smallwood.
oops take back everything I said getting my landing spots confused while drinking here, in Philly I agree with you, Matthews won't stay healthyWell ya, that is a much longer path to playing time since Bell and DWill are on a different team than Smallwood.
So in other words, you didn't have to put up a big package to get Wendell Smallwood.
guess it depends on league type but I'd go
I don't understand the fascination with ASJ. TE seems to be the one position where every guy gets touted as the next great TE and it just doesn't happen. Two injury plagued seasons of meh? I'm not sure why you're more excited about ASJ than a possibly rededicated lacy?
Comments like these often are rooted in some quantitatively defined value, like using specific rankings, some value chart, etc. Just wanted to point out a couple things:FreeBaGeL said:
