2020 Offseason Completed Trades

[Shankopotamus]

Im a believer in overpaying to get what i want, so i overpaid significantly in this, anyway

Gave: Marquise Brown, 2.01, 2.04, 2021 1st and 2021 second

Recieved 1.04 (Deandre Swift)

I wanted a top Rookie RB I was basically assured of getting one there and i did.

Also during the draft i did this

Gave Melvin Gordon

Recieved James White and 2.07 (Mims)

I overpaid for sure in one and think i get a really good deal in the other. We shall see.

Catching up on this thread, I can't believe this didn't draw more attention.

You turned Melvin Gordon / Marquise Brown / 2.01 / 2.04 / '21 1st / '21 2nd into......................................Swift / White / Mims?

I hope it works out for you, and I understand "getting your guy", but woooooooooooooof.

Woof indeed. A lions RB in a time share

[mzkp54]

id take Breida. i think he has a good year and will have greater value. i own Breida and i wouldnt take Mattison for him right now. If i owned Mixon and wanted the handcuff then id do it.

Short term Breida, long term Mattison.

And if I owned Dalvin Cook its Mattison

Yeah I’m a Cook owner and wanted the handcuff. Knew it was probably technically a L on the trade but thought protecting my RB1 was worth it.

Phew lol

14 team SF
Gave 3.04 (would have taken J. Love but I am set at QB)
Got 4.06 and 2021 2nd from the current second overall pick

In SF, I'd think Love would be a great pick there.

Me too, if I want sitting on mahomes, Watson, minshew, Dalton, and chase Daniels I would have probably snagged him, but I have 0 faith in GB as a franchise, so figured I'd take the hopefully early second in a draft that looks like it'll be solid and fairly deep at WR and QB

I hope it works out for you, and I understand "getting your guy", but woooooooooooooof.

I overpay when i want a guy, and i expect to get an overpay from someone when they want a guy from my team. I do it knowing im absolutely overpaying. Picks in my league are always replaceable especially a year out. It happens every year, or you get a rookie after they are drafted, that also happens every year. Two rookies were already traded in my league. I know my league dynamics.

Also you cant combine two trades together as one trade. These were two separate trades. One was a significant overpay, as i mentioned, the other was Melvin on the decline in an RBBC with another talented RB for White who scored just as much as melvin and a WR who is being drafted in the top 16 of rookie drafts. Its not getting much attention because i outlined my philosophy and most arent gonna say Melvin for White and mims was wooooooooff. This isnt 2018 Melvin Gordon.

Gave away Julio, 4th
Received 21 1st (early/mid), 21 2nd

I love Julio, but I have comparable assets. Probably could have gotten more in season, if there is a season...

Julio isn't getting younger. I doubt I could get that now for him, let alone after another year of him getting older. I think it's a good deal. I do think he has plenty more production ahead of him though I get why you did it

I love Julio...if healthy, he'll be a top 5 redraft WR the next couple seasons. That said, there are so many young WR's that can ascend, that it just makes sense to get out now. Big bodied WR's, that move as fast as he does, makes me worried at his age, even if he has played through so many injuries. I also think we're seeing Calvin Ridley take on the torch soon. The odd's of him producing top 5 or top 10 WR seasons beyond 2022 get really low (going into age 33 season). There aren't many receivers that have done that. Jerry Rice, and Larry Fitzgerald come to mind. Julio could be that, but too much risk for myself. I enjoy scouting anyhow.

Your first post made me assume you had 3+ locked in QBs, but your backup spot is really shaky beyond 2020. I like Minshew as much as anyone, but next year's QBs are gonna have to go somewhere and JAX is a good bet to pick high.... a team like yours seems like the ideal place to have Love as insurance.

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. If love wasn't on the Packers I likely would have snagged him. They are just a garbage franchise that has won how many super bowls with 2 straight decades of HoF QB play?

I think that's a horrible strategy, and the way to exploit it is to sell players for a monster package, not the other way around which you appeared to do.

If you like Mims so much, you could have kept 2.01 or 2.04 and taken him, or traded Brown for a late 1st.

I don't even like the rationale for your 2nd trade which you seem to think was a win on value for you. In my leagues, White scored 2.5 points less than Gordon on a per game basis, and White now gets a significant downgrade at QB. If you like Mims, I get it, but like I said before there were easier ways to get him than trading away a solid RB #2.

You turned Brown (mid-to-late 1st value), 2.01, 2.04, '21 1st, '21 2nd - essentially 3x 2nds and 2x late 1sts into a player that is largely being selected with pick 1.04 - 1.07.

I hope it works out to you, I always stand behind owners getting their guy. But to say you overpaid is an understatement, and not a sustainable, productive way to build a competitive dynasty roster.

I agree with this. You can't build a competitive dynasty roster with these kind of trades.

Having Mahomes and Watson is obviously amazing in SF, and Minshew is a nice number 3 but not really something to bank on. Dalton and Daniel are not reasons to pass on a QB though and should not be considered "depth". You got a solid return, especially if that 2 is high once again, but I think taking Love would have been the right move over making that trade. I'm not even that big a fan of Love either, but he potential return on investment is just too high to pass on at that point.
