Not saying the guy was hailed as an Andrew Luck type prospect. It was a weak QB class. And yes the trade up 1 spot was weird. But you can't fault a QB-needy team to take the top QB in the draft when they had the chance to. He looks awful but not everything can be predicted... lots of clear #1 QB's end up busting.
I haven't really argued with you about that with any passion. I've noted your position, and it makes sense. It's the fan in us that likely plays the "What if?" I know I do with Jamal Adams, who was a consensus top-five guy, and Mahomes, who wasn't.
Makes sense to me (unless you have all the RB injuries I do and really need Thompson). I was able to get Dalton on the wire and think he's a tier above the wire options you had.I have last priority on waivers this week since I'm the top team in the league. Didn't thing the Ben or Cam owners would let anyone drop to me. Dalton is servicable enough, I gave up Chris Thompson.
Ended up with Metcalf AND Hardman while dropping my kicker.
Simply not true, there was a lot of varying opinions on the QB class, which is one of the main reasons why the trade was criticized. They gave up a ton to move up 1 spot to get a specific QB when there wasn't a clear cut #1 prospect who was head and shoulders above the rest.
I gave up even though it seems more muddled than Daemon makes it. Best to stick with waiver wire discussion, IMO.
Tomlin actually called a likely increase in playing time an "unintended consquence" of Rudolph starting. Seems to have quite a bit of potential with him.
Good call on Washington; he could definitely be one of those guys to pick up now who has the potential to be the next hot WW add.
I gotta believe Ju-Ju will see more targets and production. Mason locked in on Vance McDonald so I want to see more samples before I make any judgements. It's a lot to ask a rookie to carry decent numbers for all the receivers, TEs and RBs, not sure Washington will be a good start in FF. He could catch 2/50 though and stretch the field once in a while but I don't see Washington as a great move right now.
I had Big Ben and went Brissett over the new guys. Keenum's schedule is really friendly and worth a look. Also added D. Jones as a backup (I was flying solo.)
DK Metcalf vs Fitz and John Brown?
Again, one of those is from Feb and April is when he really separated himself. I guess you can cherry pick and find a couple articles out there, but to try to spin that as "it was a toss up" simply isn't true. I'm making this number up, but probably 90% of analysts and mock drafts and draft rankings you can find from last April had Mitch at the top. "A lot of varying opinions" is also quite the loaded statement.... its was pretty clear Mitch was the guy heading into the draft.
Ridiculously so
This was basically my thought process.
I grabbed Jones as well as a backup to Ryan. Maybe Keenum was safer pick but I'm curious how Jones pans out.
I thought so too but it is a dynasty league and the waiver wire is pretty thread bare and if you think a player has a chance to be good now and in the future you sometimes have to strike with a lot of cash.
You got them backwards.flapgreen said:Traded off my starter. Picked up Jones to back up...Trubisky.
In my main 16-team keeper league I have Mahomes. And Jones is my only back up and I would not trade him for Trubisky. He's propped up by Nagy, so Mitchs points could still be better for fantasy, but as the immortal and eloquent Flavor Flav said I just... Can't truss it. No, no, no, no.
