Like I said, it’s fine. I just wouldn’t be surprised if that got you somebody like Dobbins or Akers. You can say it’s a win because you’re selling an asset that you think will depreciate, and that’s cool, but you’re making a case that it’s a “sell high” of Diontae rather than a “buy low.”skinfanjon wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 9:42 pmDepends on where you value the picks. Not gonna get into the weeds as to why but I'd say it's 90% they are at worst 1.09 and 2.09. Plus Diontae, who I think will be an 8th or 9th round startup value next year, for a top 10 RB in his 2nd year. That's a clear win.OhCruelestRanter wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 8:35 pmDiontae Johnson plus a 1st and 2nd is bordering on a 1st round startup price. I like James Robinson and I have multiple copies, and I think that’s a fair price for him. I just think you’d have to value him like a Top 12 1QB asset to say that you “bought low” at that price.skinfanjon wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 3:23 pm
He is for me. I made two deals to get him so far this offseason, both teams are very strong contenders.
Diontae, 2022 1st, 2022 2nd for Robinson
Tyreek, Pittman for McLaurin, Robinson
1st team was desperate for a young RB and those picks will be late unless injuries hit super hard. Finished 2nd last year in one of the worst bad beats ever. Also wanted out on Diontae and couldn't find any takers.
2nd team also need a RB pretty badly. Won the chip 2 out of 3 seasons.
The first one feels like a bit of a value overpay but if he has the same numbers as last year it's worth it. And with Lawrence coming can't imagine the offense isn't better. Figure they take another WR early too.
Could be wrong. I take chances on trades and win a whole lot more than I lose.
For it to be a buy low, you’d have to value Robinson above the market value of what you just paid, which seems to be in that Dobbins-Akers tier.
