Ekeler and Dallas worth?

Postby NFL123 » Sat Nov 14, 2020 5:06 pm

Recieved a couple of offers.

For team 1 in sig
Give: Meyers, 2021 3rd
Get: Dallas, 2021 5th

For team 2 in sig
Give: Harris, Shenault, 2021 2nd (early-mid)
Get: Ekeler, 2021 3rd (early-mid)

For team 1, I'm struggling to gauge Dallas's value. Of course he could run away with the starter job with Carson's continued injury problems, but seems more likely he drops into the pack once Carson returns. Meyers has looked good so far and should continue as the Patriots WR1 for the rest of the season.

For team 2, Ekeler is by far and away the best piece. Difficult to trust the Patriots backfield especially with Michel on the way back and while Shenault is good, Chark is the main guy there. I would like to keep my 2nd if possible, but is it worth haggling over that to get Ekeler?

I would not do the deal for Team 1, only because I don’t see the need for Dallas at the cost of trading back 2 rounds, plus Meyers.

I would absolutely do the deal for Team 2. I like Viska, but he’s buried on your WR depth chart, and Ekeler slots in as your prospective RB3 when he returns. I don’t believe much in Harris (or any other NE RB for that matter) and wouldn’t be worried about trading back one round in this deal.

I like the value of trade #2, but I'm not overly high on Ekeler, but Harris is a gamble.

#1, is a bit steep because of the 3rd, but Dallas is an intriguing stash.

I would do #2 easily. Ekeler is about to come back and will be super valuable down the stretch and is still pretty young, so I’m still high on him right now.

Trade 1 : are you competing? Dallas wouldn’t give you value this year but is interesting for next.

Trade 2: for a contender this seems like a yes! Non contender it depends on ur value of Ekeler (to me it’s low). Harris has looked good though so because of the draft picks I might hold.

I completely misread #2 thinking you were giving Ekeler. Would definitely do #2 to get him.
