I get where you’re coming from. My rationale for making this move was:Jigga94 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 7:10 amI don't like this at all. You have good pieces, why not deal some / consolidate into productive players and compete? I wouldn't have been looking to get 1sts in this weak class by dealing an RB1. I would have been trying to see which "old reliable" players your unproductive, but still young players (like CEH, Jeudy) could fetch in return. I think you went the wrong direction here. Now you'll be waiting for your picks to pan out while the CEH and Jeudys of your team attempt to turn it around. Maybe they do, but even then now what? You're right back in the same position and that's IF those 1sts are all hitsMattDeezy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 01, 2022 8:55 am I have a team that’s not good enough to compete but has some good pieces (not in sig). 1QB PPR notable pieces are/were Mahomes/Dak/Swift/CEH/Barkley/AJB/Jeudy/Toney/Fant. Been shopping all of them and best offer I got was:
Give: Mahomes/Swift
Receive: 1.06/1.08/2023 1st
This gives me 1.05/1.06/1.08 and 2 23 1sts to try and build something.
I went ahead and accepted it as it seems fair with me maybe taking a bit less value than is there on paper but not sure what the community thinks.
Also have my other key pieces in the block.
- Mahomes is great but it’s 1QB and QBs aren’t valued that great in my league (plus I have Dak).
- Swift is good but there are question marks there with health and the fact he hasn’t truly broken out yet after 2 seasons.
- I finished 8th last year with a bad WR corps after AJB and only one shot at hitting on someone this year with my 1.05.
- None of the guys I’d rather sell are getting interest and I don’t see any other way to really try to improve my team from missing the playoffs again.
I do have a plan though - this draft is touted as weak but I don’t think that means it’s bad and there is a lot of WR potential here that I can spend my 3 1sts on in hopes of hitting (I’ve had a pretty good track record of rookie drafts in the past). Additionally, I sold Barkley for a 2023 1st after this deal went down and have flexibility to grab some potentially stud RBs in a stronger 2023 draft with 3 1sts that year as well.
Obviously there a lot of ifs and speculations in my plan, but the upside is much greater than staying put and continuing to be a middling team with potential to be stuck holding bags with no additional draft capital to show for it.
All in all, on the surface the value looks to be way off, but there are many underlying reasons for making that move for me personally and I don’t think solely focusing on value alone works a lot of the time. For example, you could say Swift is worth 3 1sts (I this type of value spouted on here and Reddit all the time) but I’ve never seen that type of deal in any of my leagues so that means I need to have another approach that’s more realistic.
Just my two cents.
