Trading for Drake

[Vollie]

He guys,

i'm ok with my team. I finished first in points (10% above the second team...) but couldn't survive week 15 with my second lowest scoring of the entire season...

Most of my good players are young and i've got some talented Rookie WR... my only concerns are my RBs...

I don't think, i'll get what i need with 1.10, so i'm trying to trade for a RB...

First i tried to bundle one of my QBs, Edelman and the 1st to get a stud, but there is just one QB-needy team, and he's got nothing (he lost Hunt...). I tried to get his only valuable piece D.Adams, but he didn't want to sell him for a Bundle...

One problem of this league is, no one wants to trade... everybody overvalues his own players... for most (me included) it's their first dynasty season...


So i looked at players other owners would trade. And that's how i came to Drake. I'm not a big Drake fan, but i think that should be a fair offer, and there should be less risk with Drake, than with a RB at 1.10...

I offered hin two trades:
Give: 1st + T.Cannon Get: K.Drake
Give: 1st + C.J.Mosley Get: K.Drake + 3rd (He's really thin at LB, so i hope he'll like that one...)

What do you think? Fair offer?

think you should be getting much better than drake back if you're giving up a 1st let alone a 1st plus.

Did you try getting Mack for that? I’d rather gamble on him and the colts offense at the price of 1.10

I’d be fine with trading the 1.10 for Drake if you were desperate at rb and you did not like anything that was projected to go late first. I wouldn’t add to the 1.10 for Drake and I’d also wait a few months until after the nfl draft. You never know, you may like some of the projected rbs going in the late first by then.

Didn't owners learn from last off season that Drake isn't worth a first round pick??? What are people thinking...

[Gator Sens]

I like the idea of getting Mack over Drake if it's a possibility. If you do get Drake, I would be sure to secure Ballage as well

[Vollie]

I do think a 1st for Drake is little bit much, but as i said, nobody in this league except one team (who already gave away everything for picks...) wants to trade...

I was into getting Mack, but the Mack owner hates Rookie draft picks and already got rid of his first three rounds...

He isn't too high about Mack, so i might offer him the 1st for him after the combine...


Getting Bellage would be the next step, after getting Drake. But didn't even get a reaction from the Drake owner by now... so maybe i focuse on other hobbys for the next couple of weeks before i shape my team for 2019.

It's frustrating when your requests are ignored without any answer...

Thanks for your thoughts. I'll keep you updated about the process.

I'm a Drake believer with a new coach any coach but Gase he is the RB ruiner lol... Myself personally and I'm probably in the minority here but I would still want a 1st for Drake , He is just to talented for me to sell for less and I think this will be his breakout year with the new coach that I think will use his most talented players a lot unlike Gase.

At the price of the 1.10 I like it for Drake (if you're buying, but not worth it to me to sell). But I'm of the belief that Drake has flashed too much for it to mean nothing and he'll get a legit shot next year. He's shown RB1 upside. I'm also glad to have Ballage too as I'm interested to see what he becomes.

Now is the wrong time to buy fringe RBS for your 1st round pick. Let free agency and the draft pass, these guys could be without a team or replaced by a big free agent (Bell, Coleman or Ingram).

Who knows you might even find a rookie RB you like at 1.10 who offers as much upside as Drake.
