Smile now, cry later. One team is going all-in on Hall and probably on 2022.
Personally, I don't have any worries. It sounded like the typical off-season coach speak to me where they don't want to give updates but they have to say something. Maybe I'm being naive.
Pretty even. Comes down to how much faith one puts in Dobbins post injury
I like both sides of this depending on roster composition. The CEH dart throw has a greater chance to hit the board than the Gabe Davis dart throw, IMO. That said, I like both young guys and could see being on either side of this trade.
Maybe Ekeler outperforms Breece this season, but what about after that? I guess it’s pretty fair, it’d just be hard for me to make this move even with a win now roster.
I am a Clyde owner.... I am not sure if I am thrilled with that in return, but since I have been unable to move him for much of anything close to that, If I needed WR help, I would gladly accept that. I think that is very fair pending roster needs.
Fair deal....
I am on the Conner/MT side. Dobbins return from injury, the crowded RB Room in Balt, the whole Lamar takes the GL runs ....
I fully expect Ekeler to outperform Hall this season for sure, but to your point - he’d have to outperform him significantly in order to justify this trade - and I’m not sure it will be that significant.
This is terrible. Moved down from 1 to 4 for nothing. Especially in a weak draft. Terrible trade. 2.01 staying with B would have been fair.
This seems bad. I get it I guess if you are a big Ek believer and down on Hall due to the Jets and Carter being there. A ton more risk with Ek with his age and injuries in the past. I'd take 1.01 all day on this.
I agree with this.
Chase, Jefferson, Najee, or JT I'd smash accept. I have the 1.01 in a 12 team PPR and have gotten a grand total of zero offers for it so far...not sure if that means Hall isn't inspiring much confidence, or my league mates aren't paying attention yet...
If I was extremely confident that those 23 picks would be early and had a shot at 1.01, I'd do this deal. RoJo is just a throw-in anyways even though he could have a decent year.
Sounds high for the 1.05 but not egregious. Full disclosure, I'm not as big on Matt Ryan for 2022 and beyond as others are.
Was going to say a similar thing.
I’m one of the drum-bangers for 2023, but two random 1sts for a guy like Chase or Jefferson wouldn’t do it for me. 3? Now maybe we’re talking.
I disagree with about half these. CMC and Ekeler have injury concerns and aren't the youngest. Deebo, I worry about how he'll be used from here on out (his run threat is a big part of his value). In fact, WR is so deep that only Chase and Jefferson are clear choices IMO. 50/50 on Pitts - steep price to pay for a TE.
From the standpoint of a pick-holder. I would trade my two expected to be latest 1sts (6-8) for any of those guys.
Here is my view on this. You hope to draft the next Chase or Jefferson, so why trade someone that good and that young? You could end up with 3 duds with those 3 first round picks. Those that are constantly churning stud young players for picks are usually the guys always picking high in the draft. A better method is trading veteran players that just had a stud season for draft picks, even if said player has another stud season in him. I’m not talking about players who’s ship has already sailed. A good example of someone to trade is Ekeler, Mixon, Dalvin Cook, Fournette, etc.
It’s a great point. That’s partly why I’d deal 2 1sts for a Jefferson or Chase. Bird in the hand. I could miss with either or both of those 1sts, but with Chase I know what I’m getting.
i thought it was a sharp acquisition. We’ve seen the tip of the iceberg with Pitts, and RB careers are shorter. Is with the nature/scarcity of the position at the elite level, Pitts is a cheat code even in non-TE-premium.
Some people want that 1.01 every year no matter what and that can be dangerous.. Not me. I try to target bad teams an entire year in advance and hope I get lucky, but the object of my game is to win and have a good balance of players in their prime and have some first and second year players. I try not to get old, and I also keep players like Chase and Jefferson at this stage of their career.
I've always worked with theory that I'll never give 3 firsts for any one player. And I'm talking random 1's, if we are talking picks 10-12 that's something else.
