I wold stick with McNabb. You need to keep your RB depth. The only offer to onsider might be McNabb and Javon for Palmer and James Jones. There are several QBs I like more than Palmer.

I hold the 1.01 pick in a 16 team startup dynasty. It would be ADP of course. I'd like to move to about 1.04-1.06. I think there's lots of value in these picks.

Do I trade the 1.01? If so, what other pick(s) would you ask for? This is a 3rd rd serpentine.

Starting lineup for offense:

1 QB

2 RB

3 WR

1 TE

2 Flex (RB/WR)

I know people might pay a lot for ADP like they did with LT for the past few years.

 

[Packers4ever]

10 Teams Starters 1QB, 2RB's, 2 WR's 1 TE, 1 Flex(RB, WR)

Would you keep Barber over T. Romo. We can only keep one player and these are my 2 choices.

We have bonus points for long TD's so this makes me think Romo but I probably could draft him in the 3rd round if I wanted him.

MB3 all day. 10 team leagues devalue QBs. There are several choices that you can draft. RBs are tougher to get.

I would consider moving Peterson, but I think that he might be worth more than the 1.01 pick, if that makes sense. Peterson is worth a ton more than most would offer for picks in a deal

 

[Unwrittenlaw]

Oh, not sure if you understand my question 1.01 IS the Adrian Peterson pick in the dynasty laegue. The draft includes rookies.

so I'm thinking about trading the 1.01 and like my last pick of the draft for the 1.06 and 3rd rd draft pick.

I understood the deal. I just think Peterson is worth a TON more than the RB at 1.06 and whomever in the 3rd. This is why the player is worth more after the draft than the pick.

oh, I got it. Thanks for clarifying that. So I should just draft Peterson and trade him afterwards. (and trade based on needs)

check out what some in this forum are paying for peterson, then see what picks that would translate to. His value will only increase. I would target chester in 6th or 7th

Hi Jeff

Just an update in terms of keepers:

As I previously mentioned I am currently in a 14 team keeper pool. You can keep 2 players each year from previous years roster. Each year each team picks 3 QB's (starts1), 4 RB's (starts 2), 6 WR's (starts 3), 2 TE's (starts 1), 2 kickers (starts 1) and one team defence. Points are 6 per TD and 1 per every 10 yds (QB/RB/WR).

After some of your feedback I ended up keeping Romo (QB) and Lynch (RB).

I have just received a more updated and revised list of 2 keepers that each player kept. Here is the list of teams with their keepers and the draft order.

Keepers:

1. Boldin (WR) Welker (WR)

2. Johnson (RB) Kitna (QB)

3. S. Smith (WR) Colston (WR)

4. Addai (RB) Maroney (RB)

5. Gore (RB) Barber (RB)

6. Johnson (RB) A. Johnson (WR)

7. Jackson (RB) A. Peterson (RB)

8. Bush (RB) McNabb (QB)

9. Manning (QB) Portis (RB)

10. Tomlinson (RB) Moss (WR)

11. Romo (QB) Lynch (RB) (my picks)

12. Palmer (QB) Owens (WR)

13. Lewis (RB) Edwards (WR)

14. Brady (NE) Westbrook (RB)

Players are drafted down and up, therefore my pick is 1.11, 2.04, 3.11, 4.04 etc.

I just learned that the guy drafting 1st plans on taking Brees (QB). I plan on still taking a 1.11 RB, 2.04 RB/WR. With that in mind what RB's (including rookies) would you suggest I target? (6/7 RB's could possibly be gone before my pick).

With the above keepers any suggestions again at WR who to target?

Thanks again...

Your keepers match up well. Since you have two good young keepers, I would look at the drafts as though it was a redraft. For 1.11, I would consider (in order):MJDMcGaheeGrantJacobsMcFaddenRonnie BrownFor the 2.04 WRs, I would look at:WayneFitzgeraldHoushmandzadehChad JohnsonHoltPlaxicoB Marshall

 

[oscarz]

Thanks

If the RB's that you mention are gone before my 1.11 pick what other RB's would you target? What about any of the rookies?

Do you really think Brown can come back after the type of injury he had? Would you take a shot at him as an RB2?

Any suggestions for RB3 if all above are gone?

Thanks again....

If the RBs that you feel comfortable with are gone, that means great WRs will be there. You could do a lot worse than Fitzgerald and Housh to go with Romo and Lynch. I would recommend being flexible and only take players you are comfortable with early in the draft.

 

[oscarz]

Hey Jeff

Do you think Brown will be able to perform this year after his injury?

What are your thoughts about taking a rookie RB (ie Stewart) with pick 1.11 or 2.04?

Thanks

Since you have two good keepers, I would target proven players. There is a chance that Stewart becomes a better keeper than Lynch, but not a great chance. On Brown, he is on the line for me. I do not know what to think about him. I think Jacobs will be there regardless.

 

[Packers4ever]

10 team 6 keep league, 4 Vet and 2 Rookies, 2 per position. Rookies drafted in 1st two rounds can be kept everyone else goes back into the draft from last years draft in the 1st two rounds.

Standard scoring no PPR Start 1QB, 2 RB's, 3 WR's, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF

My Keepers

Culter, Barber, Chad Johnson, J. Walker, ADP, Mason Crosby

My draft spot is number 4.

The owner of Andre Johnson and Roy Williams would like to trade one of them for picks. What picks would be about right to offer him for either of the players, I would rather have Johnson but don't know if I want to give up that much. I am thinking that one of my picks I would have to give up would be my 2nd round pick. I could keep both forever since both were drafted after the 2nd round during the original draft. Moss is put back in the draft so I might be able to pick him at the 1.04 spot.

Won't be much left at the 2.06 spot since most of the top rookies go in the mid to late 1st round, I draft ADP at 1.05 last year.

So what would you offer for either one of the WR's. Is my 2.06 & 3.04 for Johnson too much to give up.

 

[oscarz]

Hey Jeff

I just did the mock draft using the sites draft dominator (nice tool) and picked as though I would pick at the real draft.

My team came out as follows:

QB's: Romo, Gerrard, Warner ...... start 1

RB's: Lynch, Turner, Smith, Bradshaw .... start 2

WR's: Holmes, Cotchery, Crayton, R. Williams (Jax), D. Williams (Bal), Hardy, ..start 3

TE's: Scheffler, King .... start 1

PK's: Folk, Scobee ... start 1

Def: Baltimore

What do you think of my team?

Couple of questions:

1. Who would you take as an RB2 b/w Brown, James, White, Turner, Graham, Parker, Stewart?

2. Who would you take as a WR1 b/w Holmes, Marshall, C. Johnson (Det), R. Williams (Det)?

3. Who would you take b/w RB's Mendenhall 9Pitt), Smith (Det), Young (Den)?

Thanks again...

I think I understand. If I get it all right, I think my first offer would be Javon and the 2nd for AJohnson. If you traded the two picks for AJ, would you have to drop Javon? I would not mess with Roy Williams. I think he is way overrated. If you do trade the 2nd and 3rd for AJ, I might ask for a 4th back. But, I think AJ is well worth giving either offer for. He is a top five WR when healthy.

Thanks again...

I like that team a lot. The WRs are good and you have good RBs and QBs. Garrard is always a steal in drafts. 1. Who would you take as an RB2 b/w Brown, James, White, Turner, Graham, Parker, Stewart? This one is close. Edge and Parker are easy tosses for me. So, it is narrowed down to Brown, Turner, Graham and Stewart. This one is close. I think I would lean toward Turner, but the other three each have attractive qualities. You might look at the rankings to see what others think. We all have guys we like and dislike and these four are very close for me.

2. Who would you take as a WR1 b/w Holmes, Marshall, C. Johnson (Det), R. Williams (Det)? I avoid both Lion WRs with Martz in SF. Marshall and Holmes are close, but I would lean toward Marshall. He is the only WR in Denver while Pitt has Ward and Sweed, too.

3. Who would you take b/w RB's Mendenhall 9Pitt), Smith (Det), Young (Den)? I have them in that order. I think Selvin is really a 3rd down back. Go check out his yards per carry averages in 1st half vs 2nd. Huge diff. Smith will get all of the Detroit carries but the offense should be bad. He will be a consistent guy each week. Mendenhall is a high risk guy, high reward guy who will split carries. I think Smith is a safe RB3 for you.

I would have to drop Walker since that would give me 3 WR and I am limited to 2 WR's. Our deadline for keepers is not until Aug 17. The other owner has to many players and can not keep all his players so he would want draft picks so he would not accept the Walker and my 2nd for AJ. So I will try the 2 picks for AJ.

Defense is scored pretty heavily (I think...Im a noob) as 16 of the Top 30 scorers were IDPs. Scoring is as follows:

10 Team Dynasty, non PPR

Passing- 4/td, 1/20 yds

Rushing/Recieving- 6/td, 1/10 yds

Defense- 5/int, 2/tack, 1/asst, 4/sack

My Roster:

QB (1) - Leinart, McNabb, Roeth

RB (2) - Reggie Bush, K. Jones, FWP, ADP, Turner, S. Young

WR (3) - Calvin Jonshon, Chad Johnson, Steve Smith, Santana Moss, Terrell Owens, Roy Williams

DL (2) - Abraham, Grant, Smith

LB (3) - Brooking, Crowder, DiGiorgio, Harris, McIntosh, Peterson, Pierce

DB (2) - Harper, Sanders

I was offered Ryan Grant straight up for Calvin Johnson from a guy in my division...He and I are the top teams in our division, and 2 of the top 3 in the league. As far as straight up ADP then yeah, I think this is a great deal for me...but will it help my team be better? Should I take this deal and then look to move a couple RBs for upgrades at other positions?

One other thing that I like is that the only RBs on his team are Ronnie Brown, Michal Bush, Maroney, Carnell Williams...so it would leave him very thin at RB. He does have the top 2 picks in the draft though, so that may not matter.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance.

He countered with his 1.10 and AJ for my 1.04 and 2.06 said he could not give up AJ for that.Players that will be available LT, P. Manning, R. Bush,C. Chambers, Hasselbeck, Edge, B. Jacobs, Harrison, T. Jones, SA, D. Driver, B Edwards, TO, R. Moss, McGahee, Holt, Roy Williams, Burress.So I guess the question would be would you rather have Culter, ADP, Barber, CJ, AJ, Holt or Edge or T Jones or Driver this is my lineup if I do the trade.Or this lineup without the trade Culter, ADP, Barber, CJ, Walker, TO or Moss and either Chambers or Edge maybe Driver. I know a couple of the rookies will go before these 2 players which I could pick with my second round pick.I could keep AJ, CJ, ADP, & Barber for as long as I want which I think I would have to take into consideration.I do like the way my team would look without the trade.

I think I would keep Calvin. This is just me, but Grant does not give you a better starter than you have with Turner. You will be glad you kep Calvin, imo.

Defense is scored pretty heavily (I think...Im a noob) as 16 of the Top 30 scorers were IDPs. Scoring is as follows:10 Team Dynasty, non PPRPassing- 4/td, 1/20 ydsRushing/Recieving- 6/td, 1/10 ydsDefense- 5/int, 2/tack, 1/asst, 4/sackMy Roster:QB (1) - Leinart, McNabb, RoethRB (2) - Reggie Bush, K. Jones, FWP, ADP, Turner, S. YoungWR (3) - Calvin Jonshon, Chad Johnson, Steve Smith, Santana Moss, Terrell Owens, Roy Williams DL (2) - Abraham, Grant, SmithLB (3) - Brooking, Crowder, DiGiorgio, Harris, McIntosh, Peterson, PierceDB (2) - Harper, SandersI was offered Ryan Grant straight up for Calvin Johnson from a guy in my division...He and I are the top teams in our division, and 2 of the top 3 in the league. As far as straight up ADP then yeah, I think this is a great deal for me...but will it help my team be better? Should I take this deal and then look to move a couple RBs for upgrades at other positions? One other thing that I like is that the only RBs on his team are Ronnie Brown, Michal Bush, Maroney, Carnell Williams...so it would leave him very thin at RB. He does have the top 2 picks in the draft though, so that may not matter.What do you think? Thanks in advance.

I think I would keep Calvin. This is just me, but Grant does not give you a better starter than you have with Turner. You will be glad you kep Calvin, imo.

I guess a couple people found out that Calvin was being discussed. I just got a Marion Barber for Calvin and Turner offer...Im thinking about countering it to a small defensive upgrade, but I think this is a good deal for me if I want to win now. What do you think?

I would ask for a WR prospect or Def prospect back. Many LOVE Calvin so you should be able to get a decent prospect back without much worry.

Hi Jeff...

About a week ago I posted a more general question about keepers and how you'd go about selecting them. I appreciate the response and it helped a little...though I'm still stumped as to who I should keep.

I'm in a keep 3 league. You give up the draft pick of the round you selected the guy in. It is a PPR league, standard scoring, 6pt passing TDs.

Here are the guys I'm eligible to keep:

Westbrook (1st)

TO (2nd)

Braylon (4th)

Portis (5th)

Greg Jennings (8th)

Turner (11th)

Welker (14th)

I'm definitely keeping Westbrook as I know I won't be able to get a better player with my 1st round pick. From there I'm torn between who to keep out of Braylon (with a current ADP in the 2nd), Portis (ADP in the late 1st) and Welker (ADP in the late 3rd).

Obviously Welker represents the most value as I'd only have to give up a 14th round pick. Turner and his 4th round ADP also represents a lot of value. I can see myself keeping Welker, but the though of having Westbrook/Braylon/Portis...3 top 25 players along with my 2nd and 3rd round picks is very enticing and should give me a legit shot at the championship from the start.

Would you go for the value and keep Welker? Or just keep your 3 best players regardless of what spots you give up?

Keep Warner. I would cut Moore, Benson and Oman. The only WR to consider releasing would be Gage, since he would never start for you. It would be between he and Benson.

I would go with Welker in a PPR league, all day, every day. So, with Westbrook and Welker. The most difficult one for me is Turner vs portis vs braylon. I would either go for turner or bray. The diff between portis and turn is smaller than the diff in picks.

Yeah I think I will keep Warner, just hate having so many QB's. As of now I agree Moore, Benson, and Omon, but with my WR's so young I think Gage may be be a good #3 or #4 until my young WR's come of age. Also hate giving away Omon, one of my major young sleeper RB's to stash.

If you want to hang onto Omon a couple of weeks, you might consider dropping bironas or the def and picking up later. if that is not an option, you might drop gage and pick up later. With Cotch, Driver, and AJ, Gage will not be higher than WR4 for you unless injury.

If you were in my position, what would you do for the next few picks?

I like it. In such a big league, I would make sure to lock up the AZ passing game with Warner. I would also target several young backups like Brohm, Matt Moore, and Brady Quinn. QBs and RBs are in short supply in big leagues and that is where teams differenciate themselves. I am not an IDP guy so I cannot say when to start taking defenders.

 

[AC05]

Hey Jeff- Just made a great trade (Roy Williams for Osi and Vilma- I know I know I just read youre not an IDP guy) and I think my roster is right where I want it headed into the draft.

QB (1) - Roeth, McNabb, Leinart

RB (2) - Adrian Peterson (Min), Willie Parker, Reggie Bush, Turner, S. Young, K. Jones

WR (3) - TO, Chad Johnson, Steve Smith, Calvin Jonshon, Santana Moss

DL (2) - Umenyiora, Smith, Abraham, Grant

LB (3) - Harris, Vilma, Peterson, Pierce, Crowder, Brooking, McIntosh

DB (2)- Harper, Sanders

I have 28 on my roster, and we can have 30 by the end of the draft. My first pick isn't until 3.08, and then I have 4.02, 5.08, 6.08, 7.08, 8.08.

Now, I have no idea what to do in the draft because there are quite a fewVETERAN guys out there that shouldnt be...Roddy White, DJ Hackett, Mark Clayton, Fred Taylor are all free agents in my league.

Also, IDP wise there are some very very good players including 2 top 10 and 2 top 20 DBs and some other 30-50 type LB/DL

At first I was thinking that since I dont really need to drop anybody, I could trade my late picks and move up, but now I'm thinking about trading all buy my last 2 picks in the draft fo future picks (or possibly slight upgrades somewhere) and just taking the best available DB with my first pick and the best available with my next one.

Not sure though if some of those offensive guys like Roddy White or Fred Taylor are worth holding put.

What do you think?

I like your team a lot. I think I would wait until you see how the draft is going. I would consider only taking young players (roddy not fred) because you can keep for next year and fred will be gone soon. I think i would make a short list of players you like for the first pick. If your guys start going, trade the picks and sit on the last two. I would try to trade multiple picks for one or two good 2009 picks. If not, you will be in same predicament next year. Something like the 5th, 6th, and 7th rounders for a 2nd or 3rd in 09. Take best young player in 4th and 8th. Most times, the mid-late rounds are not any better than the waiver wire so trade those picks for better ones later.

Hey Jeff,

New to the site. Am actually moving over from a rival (partner) site.

Dynasty Draft Pick Trade Question:

12 team league, PPR Scoring, 6 pts per TD, 25 player dynasty roster

We will be drafting for an upstart dynasty league in two weeks and I've been offered this deal:

TO RECEIVE:

Year 2008 Draft Pick 4.04

Year 2008 Draft Pick 5.09

Year 2008 Draft Pick 7.09

Year 2008 Draft Pick 9.09

Year 2009 Round 1 Draft Pick

TO GIVE:

Year 2008 Draft Pick 2.07

Year 2008 Draft Pick 6.06

Year 2008 Draft Pick 10.06

Year 2009 Round 2 Draft Pick

Year 2009 Round 3 Draft Pick

I don't mind moving back into rounds 4 and 5 (would now have picks 1.06, 3.07, 4.04, 4.06, 5.07, 5.09 in the first 6 picks) because I believe in my research and drafting ability. However, it being a dynasty trade, am I giving up too much potential with a 2nd round pick just to try and have more quality and quantity than everyone else by the end of round 5?

Depending on who falls where in the first 5 picks, I'm looking at Lynch or hopefully Addai to build my team around. Where would this put me if I accept? And should I?

I like it for you. I think it means you have to take one RB (round one) and a WR (round three) with first two picks. I would look at getting a stud back early and loading up on stud wrs in a PPR league. I would shoot for a stud RB and a bunch of stud WRs. By acquiring 09 1sts, you give yourself the ability to get another stud RB.

Thanks for the answer. I was all set to wait for the draft, when a league-mate PMed me today about wanting to get either Selvin Young or Michael Turner. I'm not to keen on dealing Turner because he could very well be my RB2 by week 3 (I guess so could Selvin). Here is his roster:QB- Brees, HasselbeckRB- Foster, Jordan, McGahee, D.

1. Grant

2. McGahee

3. Brown

4. Jacobs

5. James

6. Turner

7. White

8. Grham

9. Parker

10. McFadden

11. Stewart

12. Jones

13. Young

14. Mendenhall

15. Matt Forte

How would you rank them? Would you keep them in the same order that I have? Thanks...

Hey Jeff- Just made a great trade (Roy Williams for Osi and Vilma- I know I know I just read youre not an IDP guy) and I think my roster is right where I want it headed into the draft. QB (1) - Roeth, McNabb, LeinartRB (2) - Adrian Peterson (Min), Willie Parker, Reggie Bush, Turner, S. Young, K. Jones WR (3) - TO, Chad Johnson, Steve Smith, Calvin Jonshon, Santana MossDL (2) - Umenyiora, Smith, Abraham, GrantLB (3) - Harris, Vilma, Peterson, Pierce, Crowder, Brooking, McIntoshDB (2)- Harper, SandersI have 28 on my roster, and we can have 30 by the end of the draft. My first pick isn't until 3.08, and then I have 4.02, 5.08, 6.08, 7.08, 8.08.Now, I have no idea what to do in the draft because there are quite a fewVETERAN guys out there that shouldnt be...Roddy White, DJ Hackett, Mark Clayton, Fred Taylor are all free agents in my league. Also, IDP wise there are some very very good players including 2 top 10 and 2 top 20 DBs and some other 30-50 type LB/DLAt first I was thinking that since I dont really need to drop anybody, I could trade my late picks and move up, but now I'm thinking about trading all buy my last 2 picks in the draft fo future picks (or possibly slight upgrades somewhere) and just taking the best available DB with my first pick and the best available with my next one. Not sure though if some of those offensive guys like Roddy White or Fred Taylor are worth holding put.What do you think?

I like your team a lot. I think I would wait until you see how the draft is going. I would consider only taking young players (roddy not fred) because you can keep for next year and fred will be gone soon. I think i would make a short list of players you like for the first pick. If your guys start going, trade the picks and sit on the last two. I would try to trade multiple picks for one or two good 2009 picks. If not, you will be in same predicament next year. Something like the 5th, 6th, and 7th rounders for a 2nd or 3rd in 09. Take best young player in 4th and 8th. Most times, the mid-late rounds are not any better than the waiver wire so trade those picks for better ones later.

Thanks for the answer. I was all set to wait for the draft, when a league-mate PMed me today about wanting to get either Selvin Young or Michael Turner. I'm not to keen on dealing Turner because he could very well be my RB2 by week 3 (I guess so could Selvin). Here is his roster:QB- Brees, HasselbeckRB- Foster, Jordan, McGahee, D. WilliamsWR- Battle, bennett, Bowe, Colston, Crayton, A. Davis, Engram, A. Gonzalez, WittenDL- nobody of interestLB- Fujita, Keiaho, Ruud, Spikes, TatupuDB- nobody of interstSo, he's the worst team in the league.I would like to have Bowe or Colston, and Tatupu and Ruud are solid as well. Nothing else really strikes out at me BUT I could deal for draft picks. He traded the #1 pick midseason last year for Matt Hasselbeck.What do you think of a 2 for 1 for Bowe/Colston, or going after his Rd1 pick?

I would go after his 1st. i like the wrs, but i would pursue the 1st now then a wr later. if you get a wr, someone else will swoop in for the pick, if that makes sense. I would try to get Jordan and the 1st. Keep Turner and deal Selvin. I would keep Turner at all costs as RB2

14. Mendenhall

15. Matt Forte

..

The top three are in a tier by themselves. If you think you might keep this back for next yr, you might move McFadden and Stewart up a couple of notches. Both could explode and be worth a lot long term. But, this order is more for redraft/limited keeper.

Thanks Jeff

Would you take Jacobs in the order that he is listed ahead of the others like Turner, Stewart, Brown etc. even though word now he might likely be in a RB by comittee? Or would you take someone that I have listed below him before you take Jacobs?

Thanks again.
