Who are these idiots who trade potential #1 overall picks for picks in the 2nd round? They aren't in any of my leagues.
It can't have been him who traded for both since the same pick is in both trades.
I should have clarified. These are two different leagues that I purchased the future picks for. That's why I made comments about the 7-136 all-play on 1 and not the other. I realize now it wasn't clear.
I actually like Alshon more than Howard but it's close and for sure think the second over the 4th did not seem necessary.
Yeah we both know I'm higher on Howard than most, but he went about 5 picks ahead of Alshon in the community rankings here too so you'd think their values are about equal if not leaning towards Howard a bit.
What if I told you it was the same guy?Hard to believe you found two leagues with 1.1 owners that dumb and the rest of us can't find one
I'd ask you for his email address to send an MFL invite to.What if I told you it was the same guy?
In fairness to him, there are some players he just likes and he pays for. I've seen him do it time and time again, I think he and I are in 3 or 4 leagues together. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't. Clearly in these two leagues it doesn't seem to have worked out for him so far but he keeps going back to the well.What if I told you it was the same guy?
I went blank on who else it could be. Yeah Duke makes sense. Definitely Miller then
Agree.I'd take Murray/pick. Murray is a true RB1 and averaged over 20 ppg. He is 29 and I expect Henry to cut in some, but for now Murray is a weekly play.
The problem with Hill/Gio is they each average 12 ppg and of the 10 games they played together, Hill led in scoring in 5 and Gio in 5. So, if you're playing one, which one? If, you are playing both you only get 24 points out of your 2 RB slots. You can do better than that starting Murray and Kyle Juszcyck each week.
Getting a 2nd rd pick is gravy.
Have you noticed that nearly every free agent RB - Charles, Peterson, L. Murray - has been linked to Seattle in a visit or rumor?
While this is true, those names don't exactly scream shoe-in to be the RB1. It's hard to say if Seattle views Rawls as a long term solution or if he will always be part of a committee so his value is definitely down. But I don't think swapping him for Ertz means it's down too far. Ertz could easily be a top 5 TE. Seemed like a fair deal. Especially if it was need based.
They must still have some faith in their young guys if they sign one of these guys over drafting one. If Rawls and prosise are healthy they look promising, but I wouldn't roll into next year without adding a guy to the mix. I don't think they are actually interested in Peterson, that was his camp. JC may not get through a whole season again, and Murray would have to compete for the starting job. They got burned thinking Rawls would be healthy and wont get caught in that same spot again. Burned again mid season after cutting Michael. They want to add someone, so kick the tires on JC and Murray, why not?
Pretty even. I'll take the Evans side but I could see the guy taking the other side if he has a lot of holes in his roster.
No way is Ertz worth more than Rawls.mashedbananas said:
It's hard to believe that trade was even possible - even if that pick was a guaranteed top 3 lock. Benjamin alone is worth more than all three players imo.

I'd love to know the thought process... If the trade was "to get younger" why give Kelvin and get Fitz who will probably retire at the end of the year?
