12 team Dynasty, .5 PPR, all TD's 5 points, 20 man rosters.
Traded:
- Chris Johnson
- Mike Wallace
- 1.08
- 3.04
Received:
- 1.01 (Trent Richardson)
- 3.01 (Valuable because we draft 1+2 rounds in early June, then take a break and resume with round 3 in mid-late July - so 3.01 could be valuable if a player really emerges between mid-June and mid-July)
- 1st round pick in 2013 (May be very high)
- Felix Jones
- David Nelson
Probably gave up too much, but my team is kind of stacked and I really really wanted to add Trent. Here was my roster after the trade:
Rivers
Stafford
Trent Richardson
Marshawn Lynch
Stephen Jackson
Michael Turner
DeAngelo Williams
Felix Jones
Calvin Johnson
Larry Fitzgerald
Greg Jennings
Wes Welker
Fred Davis
Lance Kendricks
Dustin Keller
As a side note...I've continued to be active this offseason, completing a blockbuster with the main players being Adrian Peterson, Ryan Williams, and Vincent Brown in exchange for Marshawn Lynch, Michael Turner, and Wes Welker. With the draft pending, my current roster looks like:
Stafford
Rivers
Trent Richardson
Adrian Peterson
Stephen Jackson
Ryan Williams
DeAngelo Williams
Felix Jones
Calvin Johnson
Larry Fitzgerald
Greg Jennings
Vincent Jackson
Fred Davis
Lance Kendricks
Dustin Keller
In addition to 1.01 (Trent), I currently own 1.09, 2.12, 3.01 and 5.12
I would like to manuever 2.12 higher to the 2.03-2.08 range to add another WR prospect. Someone may fall to me at 2.12, but would like to get up to get a guy like Stephen Hill, Rueben Randle, AJ Jenkins, or Brian Quick.
My motivation for these moves this offseason was to get younger and try to keep the dynasty rolling. I know I am rolling the dice on some of these young players, but I felt I was getting a bit long in the tooth and wanted to get value for players like Turner and Welker now before they fell off a cliff. I did not want to give up Chris Johnson and Wallace for Trent, but that was the only way I could move from 1.08 to 1.01. I felt I was able to squeeze some value back by moving from 3.04 to 3.01 and getting a first rounder next year. That first rounder may end up being high as this team I traded with was 0-13 last year. He does have Cam, Chris Johnson, and Mike Wallace now, so he should win some games. But he could miss the playoffs again, which would net me a top 6 pick...so, it's possible that pick may be pretty valuable. At least that is how I am justifying giving up CJ2K and Mike Wallace for Trent!
