  1. Fellas –

    Update on my 2nd year with this dynasty squad. It’s a “fun project” as I just took advice from Byron and fellow Pro Member Baron VonIronCock and made a trade where I traded away Julio Jones and 2021 pick 2.8 for Deebo Samuel, 2020 pick 1.8 and 2021 pick 1.8.

    I have another team who is willing to trade but I’m not sure what to offer him. He tried trading me Ingram and R. Anderson plus his 1.4 pick for my David Johnson and pick 1.3 which I couldn’t accept. I am interested in his young RBs, WRs and even QBs and TEs so what would you offer him if you owned the following team? I know he wants to move ahead on spot in the draft and said he’ll trade anyone except for McLaurin and Miles Sanders. I’m thinking of trying to trade him my 1.3 pick and maybe Hunter Henry for that 1.4 pick and other pieces but not sure how else to construct this offer?

    My team:
    J. Winston
    R. Tannehill
    J. Brissett

    L. Fournette
    David Johnson
    D. Freeman
    J. White
    R. Jones
    L. Murray
    R. Burkhead
    G. Bernard
    R. Armstead

    D. Samuel
    R. Woods
    T. Boyd
    J. Crowder
    M. Jones
    A. Jeffery
    A. Lazard
    A. Tate
    K. Coutee
    D. Funchess

    H. Henry
    G. Olsen
    K. Rudolph

    Picks:
    1.3
    1.8
    2.8
    3.3
    4.8

    OTHER TEAM:
    QB:
    M. Ryan
    J. Allen
    D. Lock

    RB:
    Ingram
    M. Sanders
    L. Bell
    Singletary
    Damien Williams
    Gus Edwards
    Brian Hill
    Damien Harris

    WR:
    Kirk
    McLaurin
    Smith-Schuster
    Gallup
    R. Anderson
    Thielen
    Meyers
    Hurd

    TE:
    I. Thomas
    J. Smith
    R. Griffin
    Herndon

    Picks:
    1.4
    2.7
    3.4
    4.7

    I apologize for the wall of text but I wasn’t sure how else to get advice here.

    1. If you trade out of 3, you aren’t guaranteed one of the top 3 backs and you should want those guys, so keep that in mind. I wouldn’t be crazy about trading it away if I were you. I might look at something like

      1.3 + Woods or Boyd for JuJu + 1.4

      1. He won’t bite in that deal for JuJu but he did say he liked my 1.8 pick that I just acquired and he said he’s interested in David Johnson and Fournette. Should I be looking to trade away DJ here? And if so, what would you look for in return from that team above? I just have difficulty assessing value I’m Dynasty at this point.

          work on trading Dj
          keep LF for now..

          u know what ?
          even though the general population loves rb more than wr
          and theilan is what 29 years old ?
          a wr lifespan is higher than a rb

          I would trade Dj for theilan straight up
          but try to get him to add a 2nd vs your 4th to get the deal done.
          if he doesn’t bite on the 2nd get him to throw in one of
          jonnu or ian Thomas

          Alex, B-money what you think ?

        oooh alex’s trade idea is awesome !

        Renourka

        I was on the trading Julio away bus but I don’t think u should have given him the 2nd rounder as well.. but its done.

        If you have someone interested in DJ (is it this guy?)
        u need to work on it – keep him on the hook and reel him in.

        if u can get an early 2nd for dj
        trade now.

        And like Alex said that 103 is worth a lot
        and like he says moving down one spot seems like a small thing but dobbins to akers is pretty significant.

        BTW
        you are right for punting on the batch of old guys he tried trading you.

        1. hey man thanks for the follow up, i really appreciate your time

          i read both comments and i’m trying to work your recommended offers right now. came home to two offers from two different teams:

          The team who originally was trying to my DJ and pick 1.3 offered me Lock and Ingram for my pick 1.3 and Alan Lazard… I hit him up asking for more if he wants my 1.3 pick and pitched him your idea: DJ + pick 4.2 for Thielen and his pick 2.4 with the option to do DJ for Thielen + Jonnu/Ian Thomas. He hit me back with “I’ll look at it tonight”… but in the meantime do you see any better deal?

          Once again his team is listed above ^

          The other offer came from a team with the 2nd pick in every round (1.2, 2.2, 3.2, 4.1) and has the following guys:

          QB: Jimmy G, Wilson,
          RB: Zeke, Mixon, Jerryon, Brieda, Hines, Ballage, J. Jackson, Miller
          WR: Golladay, AJ Brown, Chark, Diggs, Stills, Gage, Shepard, Allison, M. Williams, Diontae Johnson
          TE: Fant, OJ Howard, Dissly

          I originally tried offering him Hunter Henry but he’s decided to roll with Fant. He said he won’t move Mixon, I asked who he wanted for Chark and he offered me:

          Chark + pick 3.2 for my DJ, James White and Robert Woods… I texted him asking if he’d do pick 2.2 instead of 3.2 so I’m waiting but in the meantime what would you guys do/offer to that team because I can’t trade DJ to BOTH teams!

    In a Super Flex rookie draft what round are you seeing Jalen Hurts go? He’s steering at me at 5.06. I don’t need a QB but isn’t that value insane to pass up?

    1. Yes I would very likely take him at that price.
