Made a bunch of offers to move back into rd 1, I actually added the comment "making some offers to move back into rd 1, didn't want you to feel left out, feel free to counter" or something to that effect. When I saw one was accepted it actually took me a few minutes to realize I got the 2018 3rd as well. Really expected a counter if anything, pays to try I guess.
Good for you but I have no idea why that guy would make that trade now? what if a top tier guy falls to 1.08 because a few outlier picks are made?
It was the highest pick I made an offer for, figured 1.11ish for 2.3/2.12 would be value, and maybe I try to get some marginal pick back that would be easy to part with or hope for a counter. I figured post draft will be harder to make that move and I figure everyone will be checking their leagues on draft day so it's a good time to send offers.
Whoops, I left out the 3.03. Editing original post- a little more reasonable but still good for me. I was thinking I wouldn't make that offer, I must have missed something.
I said 30 man taxi squad for up to 3 years so you get 3 years for all of those picks before deciding if roster worthy. 35 man rosters on top of 30 man taxi max used for draft picks in rounds 2-7 only.
That's part of the trick in a draft is to get lucky with 3rd round on picks. It happens more than you think but can you be the lucky one. If I were to list the number of good players that went in the 3rd round on of rookie drafts since 1997 when my 1st dynasty league started you would be simply amazed at the amount of great players that came that late. Just as an example Antonio Brown was the 7.12 pick in the 2010 rookie draft of this league. I got Tyreek Hill in the 6th last year. In my other league A-Rodgers went in the 3rd round as did several other great players but again the trick is getting luck and landing them yourself.
Yes but only drafted players rounds 2-7 for taxi you can't get them off waivers so typically you will be holding 35 on roster and maybe 15 or so on taxi.
That's a different style of taxi squad than I am used to, and it definitely changes the balance. If you can carry a near-indefinite number of draft picks, I can see dealing White for 6 lottery tickets.
Except what's not shown in that trade is that Gronk had only 1 year left on his contract. What that means is that the original owner would need to match the highest/winning bid next season during RFA to keep Gronk for additional seasons and typically for an uber stud like Gronk, that price would be in the $50-$60 range.
He has 2 years the guy who traded him away paid for an extra year. What's also not shown is the franchise ability rule where you can franchise a guy for $15 the first year and $20 the second year. Also not shown was the franchise player trading rule which allows you to deal a player after franchising him to a team for an open contract which means you could get some value back for him after 2 years if he is still good.
It's still a significant impact to his value and should have been mentioned. If for no other reason than that it takes an additional $35 to keep him beyond 2 years. Could easily have been summarized as "2 years, plus 70% (or whatever) of annual budget for 2 additional years". That almost makes it a landslide to trade Gronkowski under those conditions - not something you hear often.
Gronk could be franchised then traded as well for another guy. The $35 over 2 years isn't the end of the world plus most here won't even understand how the contracts/money/RFA work. Too many times we see players traded for peanuts because they are RFA instead of just using money to match. Seen R-Wilson dealt for a 3rd round pick in this 16 team league this year.
I understand that. It still factors into his value. Wilson wasn't traded for a 3rd, he was traded for a 3rd plus the freeing up of whatever $40 opportunity cost it would have taken to match him. Bottom line Gronk isn't Gronk in this case, he's Gronk + a $35 liability. People here are smart enough to comprehend the concept of having to spend $35 over two years in a league that gets $50 reload (or whatever, I assume this is a Dy league) to keep him.

I don't get why he did that - his team strength was wr. His justification was that young wr are really valuable and he has picks 1.05 and 1.07 to add a rb.
Sometimes people take loading up at WR too far. This appears to be one of those cases.
I may keep the 1.04 here. The top six guys are almost interchangeable to me, seven including Howard. It would have to be pretty cheap for me to move up to a better spot if I had a top 7 pick.
There's a very clear top2 in my mind, Davis and Fournette, so I'll take the 1.02 here.
I have it as a clear top 3 but leaves us with the same answer, give me the 1.2.
Was worried I gave up too much. I have Bell, Zeke, McCoy,Melvin Gordon, Duke Johnson, Bernard, CJ Anderson, Prosise at RB. Stacked at WR and have picks 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 - So likely adding Fournette, McCaffrey and Corey Davis to the stable.
