Dell and 1.03 or Nacua and 1.06

[SStory93]

Need some input, I think value is there, but I have zero need for Brock bowers. My team is semi competitive. Getting a young QB would be nice to supplant my Cousins/ Watson qb2. But also lacking a strong flex option. Which 1.03 could take care of with Nabers. What are your guys thoughts?

[mzkp54]

Nacua/1.06 very easily for me. Difference between tank and puka is much larger than the difference between 1.03 and 1.06

I feel like We are missing information to help you with this? How many positions start? 1qb or 2? Sorry, I could be wrong because I'm new to this. If you start2qbs than maybe upgrade there with 1.03 and Tank

Sure
2 QB: Lamar, Cousin, D. Watson
2 RB: Walker, Kamara
3 WR: Chase, Jefferson, Dell
1 TE: Andrews
2 Flex: Open

Yeah I would go with 1.06 and Nacua.

Puka side fairly easily for me.

[tstafford]

Value is solidly on the Puka/1.06 side. And there isn't a bad asset in this bunch. IMO there's a tad more risk on the Puka side mostly because 1.06 is a cut line. But I'm rolling the dice and taking Puka/1.06.

[Anteaters]

I'd take Puka over Dell, but that's only a part of the deal.

With 1.03 you are almost assured of getting your choice at the second QB chosen. At 1.06, you are probably looking at the fourth rookie QB or abandoning choosing a QB in the 1st round. You didn't list your '24 draft picks, but I assume you have only one first round pick.

I think I'd rather have a rookie QB I believed in WAY MUCH MORE than the third rookie WR or Bowers. Correction, I know I would rather have the QB. Comparing this to last year's draft, we're talking about the difference between JSN/Flowers/Addison (the guys in the running for third WR chosen) and ARichardson/Stroud (the guys in the running for 2nd QB chosen.) No matter how hard I twist my brain, I can't make the difference between Dell and Puka equal the canyon of difference between one of AR/Stroud and one of those '23 WRs.

In a vacuum I have to lean toward the 1.03+Dell side.
For a team needing/wanting a rookie QB, I am heavily on the 1.03 side. And that's not even close for me.

I went back and forth - your point is very valid.

1.06 has risk because it requires sort of everything to go as planned to remain "elite". I prefer Puka enough to take that risk, but I can see going the other way for sure.

I agree with this. Also I like that Dell is linked with Stroud for the next several years while Stafford is much greater risk of hanging it up. So a year or 2 from now Dell and Puka could be much closer in value.

[BigBawseRoss]

im a huge puka guy and i got no gap at all from him to dell. id take 1.03 side here. both guys are gonna be solid target earners with low td upside (actually dang dell had 7 i didnt realize he had that many haha).

[tstafford]

For those who have Puka and Dell fairly close in value, where do you have each of them ranked at WR?

[BigBawseRoss]

in that high end wr2 range, 12-15ish. i dont care at all about ranks personally i just dont really see a weekly upside difference from puka to dell and dont think one or the other has some horrible floor. dells long term stability of situation bumps him up a bit too for me in this discussion puka vs dell

Personally I really don't understand how these two are really close at all. Puka just set rookie WR records while Dell played half the year and while he was good he wasn't putting up anywhere near what Puka was doing. Dell is also almost two years older than Puka. I, for once, agree with KTC on this one, Puka at WR6 and Dell at WR20.

Kind of why I was asking. I'm always looking for where there are discrepancies b/w the market and my ranks. I think what we're seeing in this thread is that folks are lower than that on Puka and higher than that on Dell.

I keep seeing threads where Puka is being valued lower than I have him. I guess I need to go buy some Puka shares.
