Definitely agree that the value is not equal at the moment and it will take a year or two. If I end up with a low end WR2/high end WR3 when Thielen is retired, I'll be happy. Anything more will be a bonus (including what I end up getting from those picks). Maybe Mooney is the next Desean Jackson, we'll see. I did a lot of research before I made the trade and just about everything I read said Mooney is a sneaky breakout candidate. I know he wasn't a super highly touted prospect coming out of college but, neither was Hines Ward, and he did okay. Not saying Mooney is gonna be the next Ward but, you never know.Gator Sens wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 7:03 amLocking up your guy is always fun in dynasty. Based on my league Thielens price is low so perhaps there is no better deal to find. This could take a year or two to play out. As of now, I think you lost some value but Mooney and the picks could hit and this looks much different in a couple years. Thielens value will continue to drop also.SteelersX6 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 6:17 amI thought about that but was actively trying to add Mooney and wanted to get him before his price goes up. Definitely a bit of a gamble but, I am in two leagues where you can't even get a second rounder for Thielen. I agree I may have been able to get more if a contender loses a WR mid season but the opportunity to add a young WR with upside was too tempting,Gator Sens wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 6:03 am If Mooney hits this could be a good deal long term, but I think you sold low here. Thielens age drops his value, but I think you could have received more in season.
Plus, the 3.02 in a two QB superflex league, where position players get pushed down the board, is likely gonna net me a decent prospect, especially if I can add something small to it to move into the 2nd round (Brevin Jordon, Kellen Mond, Davis Mills, or a decent WR prospect in a very deep class).
It is fun going after and locking up "your guys" in Dynasty. That's what makes it interesting. I just started doing Dynasty 3 years ago. Was always a redraft guy and never even considered Dynasty until then. Now, it's all I do.
