I want aiyuk and have been offered him.

This is the place for team advice - should I make this trade, should I draft that player, etc.

I want aiyuk and have been offered him.

Postby richardweston1233 » Sat Mar 27, 2021 8:57 pm

I get: Aiyuk
I give: Claypool, 2022 late 2nd, and 2023 early 2nd

Now its only an 8 man league, so the way I value my picks is more of a 2022 early 2nd and 2023 late 1st. I feel like it's an overpay but I told him I'd think about it. On top of that my picks are speculation not fact. Its just 2 2nds. I dont know for sure if they're early or late.

I really like Aiyuk, but this feels like a big overpay and not a great move long term. Once the picks are on the clock in the coming years, this may not look great.

I agree, thank you for the advice. If this was a 12 team league I may do this deal but 8 team picks are valuable.

Yeah, it's an overpay....but if Aiyuk is your guy and really want him, take the deal. Not saying you shouldn't try to get one of those picks taken off the trade.
In my experience, it's hard to impossible to target a player in a trade and get a "fair" offer. If you want your man, you gotta pay up most of the time. It's also about having fun, so if getting Aiyuk makes it more fun then that's another reason to do it.
I have over paid only a few times for guys I really wanted, and I don't regret any if those trades. It really gives you pride in your team when you go out after a guy and becomes a stud.

Give me Claypool. He's in a crowded room and at the mercy of Ben long term, but the guy is an absolute freak.

I'm skeptical of Aiyuk with Kittle coming back. His splits with Kittle in the kineup aren't great. Kittle is still the alpha.

I’ve preferred Claypool to Aiyuk up to this point, but have been bumping Aiyuk up a bit lately. I would hold Claypool/picks here due to the smaller league size. As you mentioned, if it were a bit larger league and the picks were later overall, it would be closer.

I would do it, I like Aiyuk over Claypool, and the 2022 and 2023 picks are so far out you will have plenty of time to get those picks back, etc.

If I see a player I like, I don't mind paying a little extra. Good luck!

I prefer Aiyuk, but you are right about the picks being a lot to give up in an 8tm. I'd ask for the 2023 2nd to be removed. I like claypool and am happily targetting him as well, but the steelers have a significantly more crowded situation, likely a worse QB situation, and Claypool has the diva potential that turns me off a bit.

The concerns with Kittle coming back dont worry me nearly as much as they do others. The QB situation in San Fran has been a joke for years and they clearly just bet the farm on whoever they take at #3. Regardless of who it is, it's a substantial upgrade over Jimmy, Mullens, or Breathard and there will be plenty to feed Kittle and Aiyuk. Not to mention Kittle has been banged up considerably the past two season.

I like this take. If you are agnostic, then you have your reasons for declining. Whatever gives you the most enjoyment out of this hobby you should do.

THis is a over pay in my believe. I also believe that Claypool offers more big play potential than Aiyuk
