Why do we value in draft picks?

[Elroypedro]

Lol, no it’s not.

Your right. This year Mike Evans is worth way more than the 1.01. However, last year the 1.01 was worth way than Mike Evans. Whereas Mike Evans true value hasn't change much over that time span.

Right. The problem is he based his entire rant off the faulty assumption that the consensus values mike Evans as “an early 1st.”

No, I did not. Stop trolling. Stop lying. Just leave this thread if you feel the compulsion to do either anymore.

but who has the correct value and the understanding of how to maximize the knowledge of those 100% correct infallible valuations ? how would we ever track that ?

Opinions of value are not 100% correct infallible valuations. They are just opinions regardless of what standard you use. It's really not that hard to do. I just posted an opinion D'Onta Foreman's value and it took less than a minute to arrive at that opinion. I just looked at DLF top 200 dynasty assets and counted the players ranked lower than Foreman I'd rather have then added that number to the ranking then counted the players ranked higher than Foreman that I would not take over Foreman then subtracted that number from his rank then counted the rookies I'd rather have then added that number to his rank and WHALA I found my value.

How? It is infuriating to have the same immature posters come in, lie, try to troll by dragging threads off topic, personally attack rather than deal with the topic and premise.

Edit you must be talking startup value

The point of the post wasn't that Mike Evans is worth the 1.01. The point is that draft pick value is too vague to have any real value.

That may have been your interpretation but that is not what he wrote

How would that help me if I were to offer a vet for Foreman?

So you can decide how to rank Foreman among vets when making your adp list but when looking at your team and pondering which vet to offer for Foreman you are totally clueless? You realize that makes no sense

Well it’s all relative. It doesn’t actually affect me at all. But it is annoying that these people(you included) are more interested in dragging threads off topic to try to ruin them and bury ideas they don’t like rather than addressing the ideas themselves. There hasn’t been EVEN ONE legitimate, thought out beyond the extreme surface level, or good faith argument against the premise of this thread yet. Not a single one. A lot of quick backlash reactions(as expected and as noted to be expected by another poster early in this thread), and a lot of trolling to try to derail the thread and bury the premise. So yes, I come here for discussion and to do better at this game. Having posters here actively trying to do the opposite in posting here is yeah, maybe not infuriating, but definitely mildly annoying.

On that note, please no more personal attacks and trolling! Can we get on topic? Does anyone have any argument against this other than that it would take a small bit more effort?

now is this for a points per 1st down league ? or is it a cannibalism league
where if I beat you I take one of your players as foreman is ranked higher in my new edition rankings after more market research you get a 50% referral credit as if you are referring my rankings and their deadly accuracy you deserve a break today !

OK chief you want it straight , it is a dumb as F*** concept ....as values vary across leagues as scoring systems vary and lineups vary and if you play in one league it still is a colossal waste of time as there are a million tools available for free or paid to get the information to make an informed decision . If you are too daft to compile and sift the resources available then your rankings would be worth a pile of cottonelle and look much the same after taco night with very little off season ( read draft and free agency ) roster /situation realignment.

You attacked people as lazy or not intelligent enough to grasp your stunning genius you have been called on that sir .
Now run along put together your list quickly before the draft or free agency I will eat tacos for supper monday night so if you get them in the mail pronto I may receive them by tuesday morning I would be grateful.
