Bryan Edwards

[grandmabetty]

This is a rookie only draft year two. Its 12 team superflex ppr and TE premium. Sorry should have posted that.

I made the trade. Flipping a 4th and a 5th for a 2nd was too good to pass up for me

I think it's fine. I'd personally rather have Edwards than a random 21 2nd, but it's fair value.

Yeah that info would have been very important. Would have kept Edwards quite easily. He should have been a 2nd round pick, early 3rd at absolute worst. Not sure who you and your teammates were drafting over him for 4 rounds. I once selected Chris Godwin with a late-2nd and flipped for a projected better pick the following year, which was dumb and I've learned from it. Flipping players with bad profiles is ok, but flipping players with good profiles is unwise unless you are getting a substantial increase in value. What kind of player will you be selecting in the 2nd next year? A guy with a profile and situation better than Edwards? Unlikely, in my opinion. And if the college season is interrupted it may wreak havoc on the rookie class next year. Who knows, it may work out. I just wouldn't have done it. I'd be buying picks this year not selling.

considering that edwards was there at 4.03 I think the type of talent available to me in the 2nd rd will be significant

Well said

I'm curious who else was still on the board and who was selected at 4.03 after you traded it away

Lord Byron is better than farmer Byran, but neither of them compare to Bryan Edwards. Dude is a stud football player.

To me, i see a lot of RBS going higher than they should have based on their talent level. That's a product of the shortage of RB's. Other than that it looks pretty standard to me with a few exceptions where you could argue the prospect didn't warrant the selection.

This.

If you have a guy that you value available in the 4th round you shouldn't be chased off him with a higher pick next year. You're drafting players, not slots.

I wouldn't have made this trade and have rebuffed better offers by people trying to trade for him in my leagues. I believe in most draft classes Edwards would be a late 1st rounder, so trading him for a 2nd next year makes no sense just because I got him in the 3rd round this year.

Sounds to me like you're just not that big of an Edwards fan, which is completely fine.

[M-Dub]

Getting Bryan Edwards at 4.03 is insane value, even in SF and TE premium. You basically traded a mid/late 2020 2nd and 5.08 for a random 2021 2nd and 7.08.

[grandmabetty]

I think edwards is a fine prospect but no i don't value him that high along with carr, mariota, gruden, or the raiders organization. I have no problem with the criticism that I should of made the selection but IMO when making a trade you need to evaluate the leagues behavior too. This league is young and this was the 1st rookie draft we have had and what I observed was insane rookie fever with guys making nutso trades to move up. One guy dealt lockett and 2.12 just to move up 10 spots. As such I view this 2nd as ammunition to be used in another deal with the goal of adding an established player that produces and or a premium pick.

Ive done very well trading hype for undervalued production in the past. Always the chance I'm wrong and missed out on bryan but this strategy has worked for me more often than not

I don't like to rely on new dynasty owners to continue making rookie mistakes, but it's an understandable strategy

Oh these aren't new owners. Just regular FF players who get caught up in the fever and make bad decisions. Happens every year to all manner of team owners in all 5 leagues im in. Happens to me sometimes too

[Dynasty DeLorean]

If you don’t like Edwards that’s fine, but you posted here claiming not to know much about him and had seemingly no understanding of where he was typically being drafted.

If your argument is “well I started with a 4th and now because of the trade I now have a 2nd”, I don’t agree. Your 4th turned into a 2nd when Edwards fell to your pick. Mizelle adp has him as a top 24 rookie (21st in superflex) and he’s gone top 25 in all 4 of my rookie drafts. Based on value, all the trade did was turn a 2020 2nd into a likely less valuable 2021 2nd. Again, if you don’t like Edwards, fine. I just don’t agree with your logic.
