I get it but I got Chubb at 8 in another draft, does that have an impact if I deal him there vs. here? That is all I was getting at. I'm not A Chubb hater have him in a couple others, I dealt him here because I have a team that can compete this year I think that was very unbalanced - had Guice, Chubb, McKinnon, Alex Collins, Marlon Mack, Chris Thompson, Theo Riddick. At wr I have Fitzgerald but then it drops to Robby Andersen, Crowder, Meredith, sterling Shepard among others. I shopped all my backs (except Guice) and this was really best I could get out of Chubb. I think I can sneak into the playoffs with the upgrade, we'll see. I'd have preferred to move a lesser back but I got pretty crappy offers for them and no real interest
My thought process when responding to the trade was that the pick used to get Chubb was likely high and if in the end he was turned into Thielen I think the better play would have been to try and trade the pick before taking Chubb. I did not see Thielen traded a lot this off season but have in a few FFPC leagues and he's been drawing picks in the 10-14 range, and Sammy Watkins in another.
What I'm trying to say is I'd rather have Thielen over Chubb, but would have thought with pick 1.5 I could get Thielen+.
Then they get the Tyrod stank off them and they can suddenly play WR. I don't see him outperforming draft position, but Gordon's a much better bet with Tyrod's chuck mentality.....when he actually throws the ball when the receiver has 10 yards of separation.......than Landry is. I feel bad for anyone that drafts Landry if Tyrod's starting Week 1.
Good day.
