Traded a draft pick for a safety... Not one you'd think either

Postby lukkyseven » Wed Nov 07, 2018 5:00 am

Team two in my signature. Making a playoff push and I didn't have a top 25 safety on my team (in which we start 2). It's a super deep league, 10 man taxi squads (for up to 3 years), 10 IR spots and 53 man rosters.

I had to try and grab some consistency. I have tried and tried to get old Safety from teams not contending, but no one wanted to budge. They can rot on those teams, I wont over pay for 35 year old DB's. Just not happening.

I ended up trading what will be a late 3rd for Jessie Bates and Benardrick McKinney.

Hopefully it's not an over pay. McKinney will actually start for me sometimes as we can start 4 LB's, but have to start 3. Bates I hope will be an every week starter for a few years.

I think that's crazy good value for those two starters

I think so as well, but I think it's just something a lot of us can go out and do. This guy is done for the season and trying to drop points. Even if I'm not competing I would have taken this trade as it really adds depth for my team.

Probably not as good of a trade if we're talking about 12 and 14 team teams where you only start 4 or 5 IDPs.
