Pollard DeVonta Trade

Postby BabyChark23 » Wed May 03, 2023 6:15 am

12 Team 2QB PPR

Give: DeVonta Smith + 2024 mid 2nd

Get: Tony Pollard + 2024 mid 1st

Can’t guarantee those picks finish there, but it’s realistic. Our league competes in toilet bowl for 1.01, so there is also a chance that 1st could catapult to 1.01 if he misses playoffs (50-50 shot of that happening based on his roster and assets). I could probably also trade Pollard in season for an additional 1st+. I’m in a position now where my team is middle of the road, but not any sort of solid contender. No obvious moves to get me over the top. My players are very young, so I could possibly rebuild for one more year and then go for it. Already have two other 24 1sts (mine and a late one).

It's an even deal depending on team need. Slight edge to the Pollard side as you get the pick upgrade.

I don't think it is a bad deal here if your in a re-tooling phase and can flip Pollard for another 1st. Don't forget Dallas didn't bring in any rb's (still a possibility of Zeke) and he should see the bulk of the carries. Good luck.

With the chance that this pick ends up early, the value is with Pollard +. Despite the value, I would really struggle to make this deal. Smith is a top young WR and I think we saw the best from Pollard already. The value is here though.

Much rather have Smith's side with anything later than 2024 early 1st.

It’s how you value Smith I guess. If it’s not an earlier mid 1st pass

In a 2QB league, I think this a trade you should make. The opportunity to for it to be 1.01 -- even if it's small -- could be a dynasty-changing win. Given Pollard's current value, I think you can also get great assets for him right now. In theory, I'd want to know that I could trade Pollard right away. In practice, I'd make the trade as-is, put Pollard on the block ASAP, and then wait and hope that pick ends up early.
