Who are you trying to Buy or Unload before the draft? (1 Viewer)

The draft will alter the value of a good chunk of the current players in the league. Obviously RB is the easiest place to see the value of player rise or fall. I'm curious who other owners are looking at trying to aquire or sell before the draft.

Big Time Sell - Shonn Greene. I think the JETS go RB sometime in the first 3 rounds. Tebow is already in town hurting his value. The draft will Kill it. Sell him now while you still can.

Minor Sell - Chris Johnson. Yeah, I might be going out on a limb here, but I wouldn't be suprised to see the Titans draft a power back to share some time with Johnson. I think the Titans know they can't run Johnson 300+ times every single season and expect him to hold up. I expect Locker to be the starter this year and the team to rely on the run more. Ringer is a average backup, but that is all he is. Watch Tenn spend an early pick on a RB. I'm not saying Johnson's production will go down, but drafting a RB makes his perceived value go down.

Major Buy - Donald Brown. Some people are worried about the Colts drafting a RB early. It's not happening. I think Donald is in line for a bulk of the carries and should produce solid RB#2 numbers. Now is the time to buy before its obvious to everyone that the Colts are ready to ride him in 2012.

Minor buy - Steven Ridley. I'm sold on him stepping into BJGE's old role. Others aren't. They worry about the Pats drafting a RB early or bringing in a vet or even trading for a RB on draft day. I'm in the camp that they will sign someone like Addai or Grant just to have a vet on the roster. Buy now before the smoke clears.

Agree with all of these except maybe Chris Johnson as I see him bouncing back whether they draft a guy or not.
 
Agreed 100% on all. And shall add.

Major sell - Benjarvus Green Ellis.....not that hes of major value right now....but it may be at its highest point. Deal him as a starter now for best offer u can get....before cinci goes RB in first 3 rounds.

Minor Sell - Reggie Bush...think he has another year as top performer in Miami...that being said..the offense is in shambles. Not a hard sell cause he is all they have to catch passes...but dont expect the rushing yardage...think best year as a saint.

Major Buy - Kendall Hunter...if you are scared

off by the signing of Brandon Jacobs ... you probably should pick up fantasy hockey from here on out.....the old brawlers there can still brawl. Frank Gore's age kicks in this year...Kendall Hunter shines...hes not too expensive right now...go for it. They wont draft a RB till round 4 or later.

Minor Buy - Chris Ivory...4th on the depth chart in the big easy....a #1 power back for 20 other teams. Something tells me a draft day deal is in the works. Giants...Rams...Chargers...all nice fits if one of them will come off a late round pick. More talent than any 4th stringer in the league.

Gonna go out on a limb. With the 30th pick, the sf 49ers select RB Doug Martin, Boise st.

The Jets have much more serious needs on O-line, Defense, and at WR. They are (or at least Rex is) high on McKnight, they barely got Powell on the field last season so they don't know what they have in him yet, and they've filled a goal line back need with Tebow. I just don't see them drafting a RB high and then having to carry 4 RBs on their active roster. Given all this, if people are so eager to unload Greene I might try to buy him for pennies on the dollar... What would it take? Mid to early 2nd? I wouldn't give him up at that price, but I'd pay it.

I'd take an early second for him. Top 15ish.
 
Buying and selling based on draft is a good way to go, but I disagree heartily with some of the guys mentioned. Here's how it will work. Guys on teams rumored to be looking for someone new will see their values jump if that team does not address RB in the first 3 or 4 rounds. Guys on teams without rumors will see every RB on the team drop if the team takes a pick in the first 2-3 rounds. If they don't, their value will stay the same. Last year, we saw two teams pick RBs much earlier than expected (ARI and DET) with both incumbent RBs values dropping precipitously after the draft (of course, the picks got hurt, so there value rose again before the season. Alternatively, if CLE doesn't draft a RB in the first 3-4 rounds, Hardesty will become a hot commodity. The draft changes situations and therefore expectations. Teams to watch are CLE, TB, GB, DEN, IND as there is either buzz or a clear need that these teams will draft a RB early. If not, incumbents and back-ups all get a bump in value. For sells, I'd look at teams like SF, CIN, STL, NE, and ATL, teams in transition at RB that are not involved in draft day rumors at RB. For example, if CLE doesn't pick a RB on the first day, Hardesty's value will climb. If SF takes a RB on the first day, there goes all the Hunter love. Not saying that either scenario will happen, but do not buy someone whose value can only go down because of the draft on the day before the draft and do not sell guys whose value can only go up.

i have both bjge and reggie and couldn't even get a 2nd rounder for them. thier value will not drop arter the draft because it can't really get any lower. most people treat hunter like they are expecting him to take over for gore already. i would sell now if i had him out of fear SF goes rb
Major sell-Willis McGahee
again, who would give anything to get willis?
 
Been trying to move Romo because he's my back-up. Unfortunately, owners are down on Romo despite the fantasy #s he's put up. Probably end up keeping him.

Was able to buy R. Cobb in one league, no luck in the other.

Trying to buy E. Sanders.

1.05 rookie pick... love the top 5 this year.

Beanie - his value is lower than it should be IMO, but perhaps it depends on the league. I was surprised.

Agree all the way around and I scratch my head at people's view on Romo. Its crazy. There are about 3 teams in the league that can say their FF QB has the weapons he has AND the recent few year's history of ff points put up by their QB. Plus the Cowboys seem to underachieve so there are always 2-3 games a year that becomes a flat out catch up game. Romo could be almost anyone's every week QB1, but people treat him like he's freaking Joe Flacco.
 
Jerrell Jernigan-Think he becomes the next guy to fill that very productive roll that has been sucessful the past few years.

Tandon Doss-You don't hear his name at all but this is the guy that will become Boldin in Baltimore. He was a flacco favorite and had a sports hernia last year and the season was a loss. But I don't think you will see the ravens draft this role and Doss will become more noticeable as we go.

Matt Moore and/or david garraud- They will have such little value after the draft but its almost a guarantee that one of these guys has 6 starts or so in them this year.

 
If I owned the 1.1 it would be sold , sold, sold to the highest bidder! The TR love will never be higher, you can get a ransom for it now.

Cheap buy , Leonard Hankerson WAS

Titus Young.. buy

Marshawn Lynch, prolly a good sell piece

 
I think people have it backwards on guys like BJGE, McGahee, Hardesty, Blount, etc. Those guys are buys, not sells.

As johnadams alluded to, the likelihood that those guys are replaced is already factored into their trade value. People are basically treating them as if their replacements were already drafted, which means you're selling at their lowest possible value. If their teams do draft another RB then their value only drops minorly because everyone assumed that was going to happen anyway. Meanwhile, if their teams don't draft another RB then their value skyrockets.

There are really only 3-4 top RB prospects in the draft (guys who might replace the incumbents in year 1). Of those, history tells us that 1 or 2 will end up going to teams that we didn't really perceive as having a need at RB and caught us all offguard. That means that probably only 1 or 2 of Cleveland, Denver, Cinci, and Tampa will end up taking a running back in first 3 rounds. If you buy one of those incumbents you're basically swinging for the fences at a brutally cheap price. Those guys can be acquired for pennies right now and there is a 50/50 shot that their value is about to skyrocket. If it doesn't then no harm done because you probably didn't have to give anything worthwhile up to get them.

I agree with this. Greene has one more season...it may end up being more split as they work McKnight and Powell in there, but honestly, as odd as this may seem, Greene was actually better with Thomas Jones getting the "hard" yards, while he played more of a non-grinder role on the Jets. A lot of this can be attributed to the o-line issues the past season, but I just think he is not the bruiser we make him out to be...which is fine.

I really like the Titus Young suggestion too. People are clamoring for a WR in DET to go with CJ, but Young did nothing to embarrass himself...in fact, he had 48 catches, 607 yards and 6 TDs, while only starting 9 games (he played in all 16). Just a few years back, that was considered a very good rookie showing for a WR. Even if DET drafts a first 3 round WR (which I don't think they will do), Young has proven enough to get the catches he needs to improve.I'll throw another name out there (homer disclaimer) and that is Jeremy Kerley. From week 5 on (when they started playing him), he only put up one goose egg. He is solidly in that slot receiver role, and the Jets have so much to worry about, my guess is they pick up an Edwards/Plax-type (again) and go to Kerley out of necessity...good buy for what will cost you pennies.

Very valid points - people are already trying to give away Blount and Hardesty in particular already and are finding no takers, precisely because people have already penciled in their replacements via the draft.I only own BJGE from the list above and I'm not looking to sell - while I likely would not be interested in buying any of the above either, if I did own them I'd wait until AFTER the draft to sell. Their value will either go up a bit or you'll get handcuff value from the teams that draft Richardson, Martin etc. (which is all you'd basically be getting now anyway).

In a dynasty league, which I assume we're talking about, these guys are all poor investments even at cheap prices IMO. The reason these RB's might be replaced is that they're not special talents, so if they're not replaced this year then they'll most likely be replaced next year. IMO you're basically gambling on a 50/50 proposition like you said, but for a player that's basically a one year rental if his team doesn't draft a RB early in this year's draft.I'd say those RB's are either a hold or sell. A hold if you anticipate being competetive this year and could use another potentially productive body at RB this year. A sell if you anticipate being competetive this year but are deep at RB, or don't anticipate being competetive this year. I suppose if you're selling you could gamble and wait until after the draft to move these players in the hopes that their teams don't draft a RB. But I disagree that their values are currently bottomed out pre-draft, because there are owners whom would be willing to pay slightly more for these types of backs pre-draft due to that 50/50 chance their teams's don't draft a RB. That added value is completely wiped out if/when their teams do end up drafting a RB though. For that reason, if I'm a seller I sell now rather than after the draft.

I agree. It is really hard to see any of these guys having much relevance sooner than later. People are calling some of this 50/50 gambling but I wouldn't even give it those odds. Mcgahee is the worng age on a team that will throw much more this year AND they could draft a guy (or trade...FREE JSTEW!). If the bucs jump up to 3, that sound you hear flushing is ANY value Blount had. With 13 picks i the draft, its hard to imagine the Browns won't take SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE and given Hardesty's injury history and the fact that a guy like Chris ObaGanyo (sp?) actually did more with opportunity there, I can't imagine a scenario where we are not hours away from diminished Hardesty value. BJGE: I will give a 50/50 chance.

His numbers have slid for multiple seasons now. That's not a great trend at the young man's position.

Please happen!
 
I am not a fan of Green Ellis, but Cincy did not sign him to be a bench player.

I think McGahee retains his short term value as long as Denver does not draft Martin. Denver and Peyton will want a smart veteran in the backfield, not a poor blocking rookie that might get Peyton killed. Addai was used extensively well past his time as a playmaker.

What can you sell these guys for? A 4th rounder? A 4th is basically nothing. If you can do better than that then I can see selling, but otherwise you have to hold. A one year starter can fetch a 2nd rounder; I'd rather hold and hope for that than sell for almost nothing.

ETA: I am referring to the discussion around BGE, McGahee, Blount, and Hardesty. A few posts appeared before mine regarding others, I didn't want to confuse.

Powell is trash.

the next guy is always better on this board, but this guy us atrocious. Shonn Greene may not be great, but he's better than this stiff. As much as Greene needs to worry about starting, Powell needs to worry about being in the league.

sell blount. Last chance to get something of any value. (whether they get Pooh Richardson or not)

Im adding jay cutler. added Marshall (a duo previously unstoppable / idiotically broken up). i really expect them to make big effort to add a 2nd legit wr in draft (instead of arming him with more wr3 or wr4/5 that should be playing in some indoor minor league)

I traded both away in the same trade before they were paired back up earlier this offseason. Then I regretted doing it once Marshall landed in Chi-town.

Ehh, his value is still in the dumps.
Because of Tebow? I don't think so. He's never really been the GL back with LT2 in town... and that McGahee guy did alright for himself with Tebow as the QB. Grreene will be given every chance to succeed this year.

If you'd take a late 2nd and a prospect at the end of my bench we might be able to get our deal on.

"Because of Tebow? I don't think so. He's never really been the GL back with LT2 in town... and that McGahee guy did alright for himself with Tebow as the QB. Grreene will be given every chance to succeed this year."If you believe this, you would be willing to pay more.

I do believe that and I wouldn't be willing to pay more (ok, maybe slightly if I had a mid 2nd)I don't value him high I just don't think his value is any lower due to Tebow. If he gets his 250 carries he should be a high RB3/low RB2 again. With not much ceiling beyond that and only a couple seasons of that rate at best, a top 20 rookie pick is more enticing.
 
Sold Brandon LaFell on a relatively cheap contract for another two years together with a late fifth and an early sixth round rookie pick for 2013 1st rnd and 5th rnd rookie picks (one each). Rookies can be signed for 4 years in that (auction) league, cheap by comparison if they perform. I drafted LaFell in mid 2nd iirc.

 
Big Time Sell - Shonn Greene. I think the JETS go RB sometime in the first 3 rounds. Tebow is already in town hurting his value. The draft will Kill it. Sell him now while you still can.
fail
Ehh, his value is still in the dumps.

IMO his value is low simply because Greene isn't that good. He was given every chance to succeed last year too and IMO last year's performance is probably the best you can expect from him. No matter what anyone thinks of Greene, Young8's post was just toolish and unecessary. Overall, Max Power's post (in it's entirety), and this thread in general is a good thread. No need for people like young8 to tool it up.
