Am I too high on youth?

This is the place for team advice - should I make this trade, should I draft that player, etc.

Am I too high on youth?

Postby heyfeefellskee » Fri Sep 02, 2022 5:41 am

Someone inquired about Davis Mills and George Pickens, and after sending me a few offers, they landed with:

Derek Carr, Damien Harris, Chase Claypool, David Njoku

for

Davis Mills and George Pickens

This is a 12team superflex TE prem league. I have depth everywhere--just not studs at QB. I'm not sure if I would label Carr as a stud but I know he's generally an undervalued performer. Just not sure if I'm overvaluing youth and declining solid value.

Yep, Carr is almost worth that by himself, being that it’s SF. Then with it being TE premium, Njoku is worth quite a bit more. I would definitely do that.

Nice value in SF with Carr coming back. I understand not wanting to move Pickens, but good deal here.

In SF this trade is all about Carr to me and it's a quick accept.

Without the Carr and Wills part of the trade, I'd want to hold Pickens over the rest of the dollar store pickups in the trade. With Car, this is an easy accept, even if I hate losing Pickens

Agree with the others. Carr is ascending with the weapons around him. Mills could be out of a job next year if they’re in range of one of the top QBs next year too. Easy accept.

People are acting like Pickens is going to be a monster. I’m not sure I see it yet. Nice player for sure but he still seems like a jump ball kind of WR to me. Ceiling of Mike Evans, floor of Bryan Edwards.

Assuming you have the room to roster 2 extra guys and don't have to drop anyone significant, this would be a great trade for you. This is the kind of depth that can help you destroy teams trotting out inferior players during bye heavy weeks. I'll admit my bias that I'd value Claypool just as high as Pickens though.
