1.02 + what for M Thomas

[mclilj]

For team 2 I'm wondering what a fair trade is involving 1.02 + for M Thomas. I don't really want to move him but I could really use another young rb, given what I have at wr. Would love to use Landry to move into the top 5 but that may not be an option.

Can't really answer this without knowing the other roster.

If it were me, I'd need two 2017 top five picks to consider it. What's the rush to move Thomas though? Your running backs should be okay this year and then Henry should take over next year. The rest of your team is very good. I say hold unless blown away by an offer.

Two top five picks??? Just to consider it???

I suppose we should start clearing a spot for him in Canton after his rookie year...

Jokes aside, I would take anything on top of 1.02 and feel quite good about it.

I'd look to package the 1.8 along with something else to move up to the top 3-4 picks and hold Thomas. Say the 1.8 and Landry and see what happens.

I traded away M. Thomas. He is going to be really good/is really good... but I got an offer that I worked out that I couldn't refuse. I traded away M.Thomas for Allen Robinson, a 2018 first round , 2 2018 seconds and a 2019 1. Yeah.. it would have to be someone like copper or Robinson to pry me from him.

At 1.02, you're going to get someone like Davis. Thomas had an exceptional rookie season and he's in a great offense. What's the point of trading him for a player like Davis unless there's a significant piece added to it? Why even bother taking the risk?

this is my thinking as well. Proven talent in a good situation. Why gamble? Plus, his value is currently that high, as he is being drafted in the first round of start ups.

Well to be clear, I haven't wavered on this debate all off-season. I would prefer Davis, and that was even before the draft. Since he was drafted, I like Davis even more. He also has a good situation, and an excellent QB, but his QB is much, much younger. How will MT do without Cooks on the field when he is the WR1? See where I am going with this? Situations change in the NFL...there are not many WRs taken in the top-10 that bust as long as they are healthy. But acting like MT doesn't have any risks for a sophomore slump (just like ARob after his breakout) would be burying your head in the sand.

IF you treat your team like stocks, you likely bought MT for a lot less than he is worth now, so selling him for much more is always a good strategy. I like MT, and to be fair, Davis is the only WR in this class I like more than him, but if I can get a guy I like more, plus anything else, then I am jumping on it!

But what if we treat Davis like a stock? If we're buying him at the value of MT and expecting him to maintain or surpass it, I wouldn't characterize that as smart trading. You're assuming so much risk for such little gain.

But, fair enough, you like Davis, I like MT. We each have our preference, but I don't think you can argue that the majority of people have MT as the more valuable asset. Not that dynasty ranking sites/lists are some be all and end all, but I'm not sure I've seen one that has Davis as the higher ranked player. So, if you think Davis is a can't miss prospect, by all means go for it. For the OP, I'd suggest either holding onto MT and trading for a draft pick with other assets or trading MT, but demanding more in return than just the 1.02. If you trade MT for the 1.02, your not maximizing his current value even if you think Davis is the better player.

Much better option.

[Demolissionary]

Get Cory Davis plus a TE for MT. Brees is about done and Mariota has a long career ahead of him.

[ColdZealDonkeyStrike]

I would trade Thomas for any non-negligible piece (2nd rnd value or higher) on top of 1.02/Davis. Aim high and ask for a mid-late 1st or similar valued player.

Sorry he's got:

QB Brady, Prescott, Wilson, Dalton
RB Zeke, Ingram, Woodhead
WR Sammy, Decker, Keenan Allen, D Paker, Pryor, C Coleman, Crowder, M Wallace, T Benjamin, Hurns, Thielen
TE Kelce, Rudolph

1.02 2.02...

I agree with this sentiment, I'd stick with M Thomas over Davis but I was never considering Davis at 1.02. Right now I'm going to be sitting one of Landry or M Bryant every week so the point was too move Thomas to get one of Fournette/CMC/Mixon. Although I do have Henry having one more nice young rb would be awesome and I don't think I'd need to do much at all for this team. Would love to move Landry instead but don't you think Landry plus 1.08 for a top 5 is an overpay I could just sit and try and grab hunt at 1.08. Other problem with Landry is he just seems to be undervalued... 1.02 owner said "he doesn't excite me".
