In reality you could have maybe gotten Zeke plus whoever the rb is you desire next year with the future 1sts you already have, you really just bought one more chance in the lottery which in reality only increases your chances a bit of getting the guy you want. You could've gotten more in return
Again, maybe these 30 dollars are way more valuable than I think they are.
Or trade something ELSE to get that future 1st that he got.
I don't need to reconcile it. Tavon Austin was taken 40 picks earlier (and in a different draft) than AR15. If Zeke goes top 10, that in itself doesn't do anything to harm the value of this trade.
You know you are holding two different conversations, one about value, and one about what you expect. Two VERY VERY different things.
Absolutely! Good observation. This team, however, was an ideal top 5 candidate. He was worth 'settling' for. The $30 insurance easily puts this in my favor though.
Again, what could you trade 30 dollars straight up for do you think? Without that knowledge this is all pretty much worthless to discuss. We don't know how the dollars are valued in your league.
Value right now is only important if my intention was to get immediate value from the trade. Since I traded for a future asset, this is not an immediate value for me and I did not intend it to be. The immediate value for me is the $30 which could buy me another 2017 1st but I'm not going to use it for that right now. Timing, of course, has a lot to do with everything.
bahahaha so even if you don't get the #1 pick and lose value on the deal, you'll still come out ahead. Got it.
didn't you say literally a few posts earlier you would base the Elliot/Henry decision on who was drafted first
Again (and for the last time cause this is stupid) you are talking about two different things.
I was going to answer and I realized you might be in this league. I must stop talking now. I'd be foolish to give away this info.
From bad to worse. Great trade though. You killed it. I mean, who wouldnt just love selling a winning lottery ticket for another possible winning lottery ticket
I know a very smart and rich guy who owns a humungous house that sits on a corner/double lot in probably the best neighborhood in Chicago. He bought this house for say, $500K 20 years ago and now it's worth $10MM. He told me his secret. He said, "Rhythmdoctor, do you know how I got that house? I offered $5k more than the asking price."
Great analogy, except for the part where he bought a house, one specific house. He didn't pay 500k for the right to pick his new house out of a hat of several differently valued homes.
Just curious, but why would it be hard to believe you are agreeing with me? I have been rather successful at this dynasty thing.
I don't even remember why, but your screen name evokes a negative feeling.
I get that you love the 2017 class and are going all in on it. That's all fine and well. But good lord this wall of text up above is the biggest load of bunk I've read in this thread. You are literally describing ascendant "tactics" that are the exact opposite of what you did in this trade.
Im late to the party here, but in what universe is 4 2017 1sts, that arent 1.01, better than zeke and 3 2017 1sts? Especially when you are dead at RB right now?
IMO, it would depend on the make up of your roster, potential needs, and the odds a player that fulfills those needs will be there.
if you like him that much and you have a real need at rb you'll have to do it to get him. i wouldn't argue with anyone for making that trade.
Is that a "standardized" chart, or does it adjust year to year with each set of players eligible for that draft?
It's standardized. But to take this year's draft into account, I think it would take closer to #3 and #4 to equal Zeke. Right now he's at least 1 tier higher than the rest of the draft, and you could argue that it's Tier 1 and then Tier 3.
I would not accept 3 and 13 for 1.1 in any league I participate, also not for 2 and 13.
3 or 4. All of the top WRs. Treadwell, Doctson, Boyd, Coleman. Order them any way you want until the draft separates them (and reshuffles the tiers)
Correct, but rankings on 3/24 are essentially meaningless after we know what happens at the draft.
Lets get the '16 dyno value thread going, whadya say
No, but another late first/early second might appeal enough to close that gap, especially if 1.1 has a lot of holes to fill on his roster.
Yeah he was terrible. So was Robert Smith.Eddie George?
Would lean Green if you only had to start one TE but in a two TE minimum start I love Green for that price.
