So LT gets hurt and is out for the year.Or LT puts up huge numbers and your 5-0.So your saying you would never trade LT.Thats fine, but whats LT worth? Was the question.
LT plus Turner is worth much more than LJ and 1.02 in my mind. I value LT more than most right now I guess.
I'd say LJ plus the 1.02 for LT would be very close to LT's worth.
concur.
This is what I think LT is worth.So value of LT=2 TOP 15 RB and a top 10 wr? I say Yes. At least that much.
Marshawn Lynch is one of the name's I keep seeing pop up in several recent LT trades. I would say AP is most likely untouchable in most if not all keeper/dynasty leagues,Lynch and a rookie pick can be had for LT.
Seems a bit much for LT. Maybe if you got a better WR (Cotchery is not the issue, but his QB is), this deal is ok. As far as TE, you probably would have done better to wait for Crumpler to land in TEN or SEA. That being said, I like Lynch alot, Cotchery could do better in the next couple of years as his QB situation betters, and maybe Martz figures out a way to use a WR/TE type like Davis.
4. That high rookie draft pick doesn't always pan out. Ronnie Brown, Cadillac Williams, Cedric Benson, and Kevin Jones were all thought of as can't miss. Most if not all of these guys graded out higher than all of the incoming rookies this year, save McFadden. There's something to be said about already being a proven player at the NFL level.
I really don't know what HOF RB compares best to LT, but I have to figure that if Emmitt Smith can run for over 1,000 yards at 32, LT should be able to as well. That's 3 years of good production left. Maybe these rookie RBs will all perform well for more than 3 years, but history is against it. If this were 2005, you'd walk away with Cadillac, Ronnie Brown, or Benson. Have any of those, or will any of those, produce better over the course of their career than LT will from this point forward? 2006 is better, 2004 aside from SJax is worse. Most draft classes don't produce many RBs who produce at an elite level for 3 years or more. If you're not going to win with LT and need young depth, trade him. If you might and/or have good depth already, there's no need to - unless of course you can somehow get Peterson.
I believe there are 4 RBs in this draft that could be studs, and the chance that at least two of them are, I feel pretty good about the 1.02 this year. It's always a gamble with rookies, but with dynasty leagues you have replinish at the right time to stay competitive long term. I don't pretend to know everything, but it sure is fun seeing how it plays out, right?
Sorry, I gotta bring the actual trade out since it let people know the going rate for him.You actually traded him at the right time, IMO. However, I didn't understand getting LJ - I would have held out for Westbrook though since he's better in PPR. You are getting one of the top 2 RB's in the draft and I think it really helps you out long-term.
Chuck,You obviously know what you're doing since you have more titles than me in HA. This is what makes dynasty leagues fun, differences of opinion, and this trade could easily work out really well for you. My point was just that, if I had been an LT owner, I would have held out for a little bit more.
I believe JU thinks the 1.02 is not much of a drop-off from LT dynasty-wise. Yes, it does hurt him this year if the 1.02 ends up being Stewart in Seattle, backing up Alexander (also on his team) in 2008. You can't ignore that Stewart is 8 years younger than LT.However, Turner's value won't be any higher than right now so I understand trading him in case he goes to an unfavorable situation. LJ is worth a lot more than Turner, who I think is over-rated in PPR even if he goes to a team that's a good fit. FWIW, LJ is only 2 years older than Turner.It's certainly a risk, but it's also a risk to hold onto them hoping LT stays healthy for years and Turner becomes a quality starter.**Full disclosure** I wasn't disappointed to see LT leave my division.
My only other meaningful pick in 2008 in this league (HyperActive I) is the 2.01 (traded for).
you guys are funny. Look at Jamal. He was AWFUL for two years with injuries and look at him now. To say LJ is done is silly. Look at his stats, 4 of his last 5 games were good and he got hurt before the easy part of the schedule on a TERRIBLE team.
The Falcons is a horrible landing spot for Turner.
Considering that ADP has now passed LT2 in most drafts, you made out pretty damn good. Congrats.
I have Turner as a possible keeper, and now think it's a bad choice for 2008. Houston, CHI, anywhere but ATL, which next to the shuttling of the entire roster of MIA is in the worst possible shape of just about any team in the NFL. They have no QB. They have 1 WR. They just dumped Crumpler. Their DEF just got worse after losing DeAngelo. AND...with a decent back like Norwood, he now gets to share carries in a RBBC. ATL is a 1-2 win team in 2008, with no pass offense, who will always be playing from behind against teams that will key on a guy facing his first full-load season. Norwood will spell him often. Now you get to draft Turner and Norwood, since that handcuff is mandatory. I hope Turner can make it through the season without a major injury behind that line and unbalanced offense.
THAT was value. Nice work there.
I couldn't have explained it better if I tried.
