I can definitely see at least two teams taking a RB in Rd 1 and I can see teams trading up to the later part of Rd 1 to take one of the three if he's still on the board late in Rd 1. Having said that, there are other RBs with great value to be had in Rd. 2 or later. The depth of this RB class is great, both at the top and later. I just don't see the top 3 dropping in the draft.
Nice to hear your opinion. That was mine prior to recent mocks and other sites having 1 (or 0) RBs with round 1 grades. I really like my top 5 and could see them going in the first 2 rounds. Etienne is my 6th rb and I obviously have him rated lower than you but I have him as a low 2nd/early 3rd grade right now and my 6th rookie rb. I agree with you that the depth seems pretty great. rb6 in this draft class is still a top prospect
you destroyed that trade. Due to age you won't regret losing Julio and Henry >>>>>>>>>>>>> Bell.
Remember when Henry was a dog and Bell was the best RB in the not so distant past? As for Julio, I would be hard pressed to trade him for that. He could be slowing down some but I expect at least 3 more very good years from him. RBs can fade very fast in the NFL as we have seen. In dynasty I don't do this trade without a 1st rd pick thrown in. What if Bell is traded to the Chiefs?
Interesting consideration, if not actually likely, but if we consider this option, Bell will be more a Rec RB and not a plodder or GL RB. He would be getting carries late when the game is out of hand, but they would/should have a decent reliable RB2 to share this role. I could see Bell being Top 15 in such a role, but I don't know if he has the "interest" to push himself to be Top 5 again. Some of it is the question is his heart into it like previously?
Should've clarified. Engram is also a member of my team. While he had been my presumed TE1 going forward. However his injury history and pairing with Daniel Jones led me to realize that perhaps I needed to add another tight end with some upside and not solely rely on Engram to be my guy going forward.
I have a huge mancrush on Singletary & will likely overspend for him in redraft next year, so I would have probably kept him, or tried for a little more than 1.08, but it’s not terrible. If truly rebuilding I get it but you may have been able to get a 3rd too.
I think that’s a fair price IF
I think you got a good return for Singletary there. Singletary is good, but at 1.8 you'll get a guy who has more upside IMO.
Probably the 1.7That’s what’s on the table though.
which of the two would you take?
Is this year’s first round really worth the drop-off from Sutton to Boyd though? That’s what I’m struggling with - I’m not sure what 2020 looks like for Cinci at QB. Heck, I’m not even sure Boyd will be featured over Ross - they seem like WR1a & 1b.
I like Sutton a lot but I think I would go Ertz and the 7 with this upcoming class. 7 could land a really good WR or RB or at least put you easily in striking distance to trade up farther.
That’s part of why Sutton feels more like a keeper - if all of Ross, AJG & Boyd are still in Cinci next year, and considering I don’t know who their QB is, wouldn’t it be a lot safer dealing Boyd (and riskier keeping him)?
I would probably rather thave the 1.8 because I like this draft, but in reality, giving up Singletary at this point for a late 1st seems like giving up too early to me. Probably a wash unless you hit on someone with the 1.8, which is a good possibility in this draft.
That’s just it - how much do we realistically expect from Gore in 2020? Buffalo will have to have someone as a breather back, but the first 3-4 games it was a lot more of a split.
Waiting for someone to scold you for posting this here... but for now- IMO I'd take neither tradeThat’s what’s on the table though.
which of the two would you take?
My reasoning is that I took singletary in the 2nd round as an underwhelming athlete but good situation and potential to make some noise on an ascending offense. From what I had seen up to the time of the trade I really liked singletary but I expect the bills to invest in another competent rb if not a true feature back through draft or FA. Singletary could lose value between then and the draft, and not likely to emerge as a bonafide stud worth a top 5 pick, whereas the 1.8 will have a constant value which fits my goals in a rebuild. Can’t say I wouldn’t love to have the Motor on my team but I wanted lots of bullets to fire at this acclaimed draft class.
It’s a dynasty trade topic & the season is over. Where better to post it?
That’s fair reasoning. As mentioned, I mancrush on Motor, which would cloud my judgement on this. I was being totally up front about that.
I'd probably take the 1.07 and then you still have the option to flip Ertz if you want. I think he still has at least 2 years of elite status, likely more.It’s a dynasty trade topic & the season is over. Where better to post it?
also why neither? I need a TE - offers seem fair?
Because of where the picks ended up you slayed that deal. You’ll likely get 1 more RB2-3 season out of Ingram, and you’re now loaded with draft equity. Great job if you can nail one or both of those picks.
I think it was 2 years ago I was told this is for completed trades only (season is never over in dynasty!)It’s a dynasty trade topic & the season is over. Where better to post it?
also why neither? I need a TE - offers seem fair?
ah - sorry, my bad. I didn’t know that. Thought trade discussion was allowed.
Thanks for the feedback - I agree and appreciate it. I suspect Philly will continue to lean on him for at least another year & that gives me time to see if Engram is my long-term solution.
Ertz and Engram is nothing to sneeze at. It depends what you're like at wr... which you have good depth. Personally I see Sutton as a star. Boyd looks pretty solid, but he could have a Mariota situation or Mahomes... no one knows right now.
This is where I’m at with the offer. I have a lot of WR, and EE isn’t exactly reliable. It’s a multi-flex league but also a mandatory start 1 TE league.
I personally dont care. I like hearing what people have to say too, especially regulars here. Good luck in your offseason.Apologies to the forum if I’ve overextended discussion beyond the rules in this topic.
There’s been action! I balked at Sutton for Ertz/1.07 & said I’d take the Boyd for Ertz/2.07. He started renegotiating for Sutton (as I thought he would).
I don't know. My fantasy mind is mush now. Ertz is hard to gauge and so is Sutton. I'm meh at best on Boyd so I guess that could be the most profitable play. 1.07 could be a great get but kind of a crap shoot.
This has also been one of those rare "would you do this trade?" posts that turns into actual, meaningful discussion around the players/picks involved and proved valuable to the thread.
WOW!!!! You balked at that offer?!?!?There’s been action! I balked at Sutton for Ertz/1.07 & said I’d take the Boyd for Ertz/2.07. He started renegotiating for Sutton (as I thought he would).
I played hardball as I don’t really want to lose Sutton. now it’s between:
1. Boyd for Ertz/2.07 (unchanged)
or
2. Sutton for Ertz/Daniel Jones
bear in mind it’s a superflex league & at present I’ve got Mahomes/Brady/Carr
i should know by tomorrow. I’m ok with either deal, and FWIW dynasty trade calculator has me winning both (though they’re both close)
happy offseason, and oh yeah, Merry XMas everyone!
At Sutton for Ertz/1.97 yeah.
Yeah.
Whoa - no trade deadline? That’s kinda whack.
Final deal worked out.
We have an interesting league setup: two week playoff series (so week 17 is part two of the championship) and no trade deadline. One free agency period between playoff series.
lol - that excitement is usually the drama people try to avoid by having a trade deadline.
