Thanks.Lol. I think most of that AC forum advice was TERRIBLE. "Even though the value is there, pass because you'd be punting on RB. It's not good for your team. Upgrade from Thomas to OBJ is negligible, etc."
Its June folks. He could easily flip OBJ for a stud RB plus if that's what he really needs to do. He had a great deal originally and turns it into an absolute trade rape type deal.
Nicely done.
And you were/are correct. The AC advice, and what you said, was pretty much spot on with my thinking initially. The stark contrast of opinions confirms my thoughts that the Shark Pool, and this thread in particular, is a bit of an echo chamberI said pass because he said he was a contender, and this trade would have left him with sh** RBs. I don't think Thomas is on the same caliber as OBJ, but a 2018 1st isn't helping him contend this year. Why not do the trade at the end of the season instead, the 2018 pick will still be there.

I would move Bell or DJ for OBJ in a flash. Any format. Elliott is pretty much a toss-up. And there are more than three stud RB's. It's ok to admit you got the best end of the trade by far.Thanks.
Have you tried trading for one of the three stud rbs this offseason? OBJ alone isn't getting it done.

Several adp sites have the top 3 rbs ahead of the top wrs, which implies that you'd have to add something to OBJ to get that done. I doubt I could get one of those RBs in my primary leagues for OBJ.I would move Bell or DJ for OBJ in a flash. Any format. Elliott is pretty much a toss-up. And there are more than three stud RB's.

You are in the minority then. DJ, Bell, and Zeke all carry more value than any WR in the ~6 leagues I play in (0.5-1.0 PPR, 12-16 teams, mostly standard lineup reqs)I would move Bell or DJ for OBJ in a flash. Any format.

How do 6 opinions agreeing with you vs. 8 disagreeing indicate an echo chamber, aside from it fitting your narrative?
Totally league, starting lineup dependant. In my main league the top receivers carry more value, but we start 1-2 rb, 3-5 wr.You are in the minority then. DJ, Bell, and Zeke all carry more value than any WR in the ~6 leagues I play in (0.5-1.0 PPR, 12-16 teams, mostly standard lineup reqs)

0.5 PPR and/or 16 team And must start 2 RB I could possibly buy into this but 1 PPR, 12 Team not a chance. In terms of value this year yes I'll agree but in terms of long term value no. DJ/Bell probably have 3 more years whereas OBJ and Evans could easily have 10+. Remaining lifetime VbD will likely dwarf the Stud RBs.You are in the minority then.

theres no way anyone should be "big" on Kevin White at this point.

I don't think the slam dunk answer is Gordon. Forget start up adp, if we had a simple poll of who is YOUR favorite from this group, do you think Gordon gets over 50% of votes?
So this trade comes down to would you rather have, 1.12 and a playoff future first or Hopkins. And again, that chimes down to preference. In 4 years Hopkins has 317 receptions for 4487 yards and 23 touchdowns. That's 79/1122/5.7, which is basically the same as his second best season in that time (76/1210/6). Last season he had just 78/954/4.
When you give two firsts for him it's because you're hoping for an encore of his monster 111/1521/11 season in 2015, but that looks like a massive outlier. He had 192 targets that year. For comparison, Mike Evans led the league in 2016 with 171 targets. Can he get there again? Doubtful. He was their only real weapon that year especially once Foster missed over half of the season. They've since added Will fuller and Braxton Miller, Lamar Miller, don'ta foreman and had cj fiedorowicz emerge.
So its unlikely he'll get 192 targets again. 111 receptions on 192 targets is just a 57.8% catch rate. Not great. He caught 78 of 151 last year - 51.6%. He's never broken 60%. You really need him to be up around 160 targets to get 90 receptions again - which is no lock.
He averages 14 yards a catch, which is nice if he's getting a huge number of catches, but 80 catches at 14 yards a catch is 1120 yards. Not bad but not really worth two firsts. And in 4 seasons he has 4, 11, 6 and 2 touchdowns. Even if you assume his best case, 11 touchdowns in 111 catches rate from 2015, you're probably looking at closer to 80/1120/8 with maybe 90/1260/9 upside.
And that's if you expect him to have upside. The good news is he's young - he just turned 25 this month. The bad news is the franchise just gave up two first round picks to take Watson. Maybe they're really sure he's the guy, but just last year they were really sure Brock was the guy and gave him a contact so big they had to give a second round pick just to get rid of him. I'm not super confident in their ability to pick or develop quarterbacks. In a year when no quarterback went number one overall - usually not a good sign, especially if the team with 1.1 needs one - and when the consensus was that none of these guys was NFL ready, they gave up enough to get Watson that they're unlikely to take another qb for 3+ years.
So I get that Hopkins had his best season with a mediocre Hoyer and that he had a 1500 yard season at age 23. But you're probably more realistic hoping for an 80/1120/8 guy going forward
It's he worth more than two late firsts? Sure, on name value alone you can probably get more than that in most leagues. But that, plus the chance to trade Gordon for a guy you like better, is a decent deal.
No matter how you frame it the value is on the players side by a lot. Even if you really don't like the players there is no reason to tell your league mates as much. He should have been able to do much much better.Which running back would you rather have

No in general you are doing better. The top pick really has very little incremental value (on average) relative to the other 4. In particular given all the positive news on the big 4 thus far (and frankly Cook could be thrown in there as well) the gap has closed even further vs my May rookie drafts when the 1.1 wasn't able to garner significantly more value than 1.2-1.4.Depends why the made the trade.

I agree Cooks will likely be the top WR but I would not expect Hogan/Mitchell to combine for more than 800 yards or so.

FWIW, The team who traded for the picks is a Titans homer.

But the trade isn't horrible, most trades involving the 1.01 are going to be very expensive and there's literally one team you can trade with to get it.
seems reasonable although I don't know that I'd count on JE tying his career high for TDs.
