Trading for Lamb

[hoos89]

Team 2 in sig. Considering trying for Lamb. Would two of Olave/Aiyuk/DJM (maybe AJB?) be a reasonable open?

[lukkynumber13]

Out of these guys: Chase, AJB, Amon-Ra, Aiyuk, Olave, DJM? Obviously Chase is off the table, right?

AJB plus one of these guys could (should) get you Lamb. ASB plus one of the other guys MIGHT get you Lamb. Olave plus either Aiyuk or DJM probably doesn’t get you that close, even though it’s not a bad offer.

[Anteaters]

Olave+WR isn't a terrible opener, but probably won't do it.

AJB+WR is a strong offer. No guarantee to be accepted, but a seriously strong offer.

As a Lamb manager on a contending team, I'd have a hard time passing up AJB/Olave or AJB/Aiyuk for him. I'd feel like I was getting production for '24/'25 from AJB and youth from either Olave or Aiyuk. Not a slam dunk, but it would make me think.

No it would not be, that's presumably why you had to ask the question. Lamb is worth more than any of those 2 guys listed except the specific combo of Olave (+) Brown.

If I'm the CDL owner I'm probably not sending a counter back.

AJB plus one of these guys could (should) get you Lamb. ASB plus one of the other guys MIGHT get you Lamb.

It depends. If the going rate for a 'stud" wideout is the equivalent of 3 1sts, these deals might get rejected on principle.

That's a pretty stacked WR room! As others have said I think the only combo that could entice a Lamb owner would include AJB. Think that is a decent move for you to replicate AJB production and get younger. I don't think a combo of Olave and DJM/Aiyuk gets it done but it's not a disrespectful offer in a 12 team league. AJB and one of the others would be a slam dunk accept for me personally, but you probably don't have to give up that much. What about AJB and Dell?

This where I am at too. I am a little surprised how highly Lamb is being rated here. I have him in the top tier as well, but your offer has guys just a tier below him. I think it would be a very reasonable offer.

Yeah. Going to take AJB plus Olave for get Lamb

Appreciate all the input everyone - super helpful!

Any two of those players is easily worth 3 firsts though so not sure I follow (I'd argue more like 4 firsts). I'm asking this question to get other views on both whether it's enough and whether it might be *too much*. It's not like I'm sending spare parts.

Chase and ARSB off the table. I don't think ARSB to Lamb is quite enough of an upgrade to warrant a move like this since I have him not that far out of tier 1. I just really like the idea of putting Chase, Lamb and ARSB in my starting lineup.

AJB + Olave worked - thanks everyone!

Dak not being extended is a concern long term, too. No viable Running game this year, he's going to get all the attention. Likely a ton of targets, but if the Cowboys tank in the playoffs again, I think Dak may be wearing a different colour next year. Jerry is getting fed up, he's not all there any more, and is unpredictable. He makes decisions with his emotions, increasingly.

Decisions like announcing to the entire NFL that they were picking Brooks in the 2nd so Carolina knew to trade up to steal him?

Was thinking this when I posted. Yes. Notice how Carolina traded UP? Brutal.
