Someone offered me Mahomes. Awesome. Problem is, I would have to give up Tyreek Hill, Michael Pittman, Alvin Kamara, and some mid round draft picks.
This is NOT a superflex league, and yes it was a serious offer.
In SF I’d jump on that.
1-QB, notsomuch.
Yeah. Considering the likely cliff that Hill and Kamara are starting down ... it's not
insane ... If you're a contender, with a good QB? No way. If your time to win has run out, or you're deep but need a top option at QB? Would be something to at least think about.
Ummmm, no, no it wouldn't be anything to think about under ANY circumstance in a one QB league. Absolutely dreadful.
It's never a good idea to pay almost triple value for a player. Overpaying is one thing, paying 300% is another.
Look at startup draft value. Tyreek will surely be drafted a full round or two ahead of Mahomes, and Pittman will likely be drafted right near Mahomes. Then also add in Kamara and picks? C'mon now, you would think about that?
I don't know ... now, keeptradecut is not the Bible, and I think for whatever reason, QB's are far too highly ranked (maybe SF rankers don't realize there is a SF on/off switch??). But, on there Mahomes is #6 overall, and the other the guys mentioned are #22, #51, and #85. (Also the strange way they insert picks into the rankings causes oddities.) So that might be way off, but even if it is, you think it's so far off that #6 is nearly equivalent to #85?
However, the more I think about it, the more I am with you. Hill is not
as old as I thought, but he is getting there. And even though Kamara is old for a running back
and has potential problems coming, he may have more tread on his tires that a typical back considering his great ratio of receptions to touches.
ETA: Also my fault for not reading closely, I did not notice the picks you mentioned. Yeah, it is a very bad offer unless your roster makeup absolutely screamed for such a trade. I mean, if you were totally stacked everywhere but QB, you could afford it and it could make you better overall. But as you're indicating, there's got to be a better deal to make.
