Superflex Dynasty Trade Discussion and Review: 2026 Fantasy Football
Dynasty Fantasy Football 2026: The Tecmo Weave and Weapon X discuss different trade offers seen around the dynasty community and give their thoughts on the importance of trading in dynasty.
1
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,480
Hello, welcome back to Lab 52, a
dynasty football podcast.
2
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,520
This is not dynasty advice.
Always make sure you do your own
3
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,040
research.
I'm one of your hosts at Tecmo
4
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,560
Weave, joined by my Co host
Weapon X.
5
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,320
And this week Weapon X, we're
going to talk about trades,
6
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,440
right?
That's kind of a general topic.
7
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,560
What were you hoping we were
going to cover this week when we
8
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,600
talked about trades?
Yeah, I just think essentially
9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,240
just going through some trades,
some real trades that are
10
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,920
happening throughout the DLF
community or anywhere we can
11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,360
find.
Just go through and discuss and
12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,680
you know, see, see where we
differ or agree on and just kind
13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,160
of evaluate the player values in
the trades.
14
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:55,800
And, and also just discuss
trading in general and how how
15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,120
important that is to the
strategy of your team or how
16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,080
unimportant it is.
You know, for some people, if
17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,239
they want to kind of just sit
back a little and let let things
18
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:06,800
play out.
But the offseason, there's a lot
19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,960
of trading that it's an
important part of dynasty and
20
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,520
and it makes leagues a lot of
fun because when you have that
21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,600
kind of activity it it just, you
know, gets the league going and
22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:22,600
it's always exciting to see.
I I agree it's a a necessary
23
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,320
part.
It's to me, it's probably maybe,
24
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:28,120
if not the most fun part of
being in the dynasty league.
25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,640
And last week, you know, week
before we talked about tomorrow
26
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,640
and we said he was the Zay
flowers of dynasty owners.
27
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,960
I, I thought of one for myself
that I am the Michael Jackson of
28
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:48,040
dynasty owners because I don't
know when to stop tinkering with
29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,680
the team.
I, I just, I just love trading
30
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,560
so much that I just make a
little change here and a little
31
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,040
change here and a little change
there and then it's totally
32
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,480
something unrecognizable after,
you know, the 13th, 15th trade.
33
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,560
So that's I'm not Michael
Jackson, the dynasty owners.
34
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,640
That's it's actually funny to
say that because anyone that
35
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:17,800
knows you knows that, especially
in the league we discussed last
36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,760
week in our startup draft
review, anyone that here is
37
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,520
techno weave has eight first
round picks in 2027.
38
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,640
Obviously he's just, you know,
punting this year and then
39
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:30,960
waiting for future value.
But anyone that knows you, you
40
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,320
could end up with a completely
different situation midway
41
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,240
through the season because like
you mentioned, you love trading
42
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,160
and that's a great thing
trading, you know, that makes
43
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,400
dynasty leagues fun leagues that
are active, active in trading,
44
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,720
that also makes it just just
fun.
45
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,800
You know, it's just, it's, it's
a huge part of it.
46
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:52,320
And dynasty trades, they have so
much, it just matters.
47
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,560
It just matters more.
Like when you do a redraft
48
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,600
trade, obviously for that
specific season, it's going to
49
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,080
matter.
But a dynasty trade it, it,
50
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,840
there's so many implications as
far as your team currently and
51
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,800
long term.
And that's what makes these
52
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,920
trades fun because you're, you
know, and essentially GM of your
53
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:08,960
own team.
And yeah, it's, it's, it's
54
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,680
always fun.
It's always fun.
55
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,480
Yeah, no, you know, and of
course, as you mentioned,
56
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,800
offseason in season, whatever,
there's there's different types
57
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,960
of deals that you can do.
But one thing when I was
58
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,560
thinking about today's show,
it's a very basic concept which
59
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,520
some people will argue.
They'll still argue with you
60
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,880
about it though.
I'm, I'm going to say that
61
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:38,720
ranking sites and trade
calculators are necessary in the
62
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,960
world of dynasty so we can have
a common language regarding the
63
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,680
value of players.
I mean, I was talking with one
64
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,720
owner this week and we'll get to
this player later on and he's
65
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:58,400
telling me he values Marvin
Harrison Junior at a value of
66
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:03,480
two first future first round
picks in 2027.
67
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,520
And, and I, and I'm just like, I
can't, I can't wrap my head
68
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,880
around that because when I look
at different sites, I look at
69
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,640
different calculators.
I, I just think to myself, well,
70
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,680
what has he done?
It's not like he's, oh, he's
71
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,360
shown us he's this elite athlete
in, in the NFL.
72
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:29,520
But that is an owner's right to
have a distorted view of their
73
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,960
own assets.
But it makes trading very
74
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:39,480
difficult when the exchange rate
between what they think of value
75
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,560
is worth and what you think of
value is worth.
76
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,400
There's there's no commonality
when you hear about that.
77
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,520
I mean, do you feel like that
there needs to be some sort of
78
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,560
common acceptance or language
and we can't just walk around
79
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,920
and say, yes, Tucker Craft is
he's worth 5 first round picks.
80
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,440
I mean, I can do that, but
that's not like.
81
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,880
Am I doing it wrong if I have
that type of attitude?
82
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,240
Yeah, I mean, you're going to
have people who value their
83
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,680
players differently in any
league.
84
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,040
You're in redraft on it.
See, it doesn't really matter.
85
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,600
You're going to have that.
But I agree there's got to be
86
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,920
some kind of commonality to it
where trades can, you can go
87
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,360
into a trade kind of knowing
what the other owner would be
88
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,160
interested in.
And if you send a first round
89
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,240
pick for Marvin Harrison and
it's immediately rejected
90
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,880
because they value him at 2 plus
first round picks or whatever it
91
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,040
is, it's going to be hard to
find a middle ground in that
92
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,960
situation.
But essentially though, those
93
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,120
are things you really can't
control.
94
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:45,040
Everyone has their own values of
their players, but as a whole
95
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,440
dynasty community, we can see
the values of these players and
96
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,640
we know where we can go to see,
you know, how how you know how
97
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,280
many draft picks or players are
needed to add on to trade for a
98
00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:59,240
JSN or, you know, someone like
that.
99
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,840
Obviously when you're trading
for the elite assets, that's a
100
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:04,200
given.
I mean, I think it's pretty
101
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,560
common.
We all know what you're going to
102
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,960
have to give up.
But then when you have the more
103
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,960
of the second tier type
receivers and they're still
104
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,160
valued that high, it makes it
really difficult.
105
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,960
But again, like I said, it's
what it really comes down to is
106
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,720
the league, the individual,
everyone values their players
107
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,920
differently.
And yeah, some players have
108
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,960
really strong stances on certain
players and those are the ones
109
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,560
that are going to make it really
tough to to trade with.
110
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,320
Because when you have someone
who values Marvin Harrison at
111
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,200
two first round picks, that's
totally fine.
112
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,520
But the whole dynasty community
as a whole isn't going to see it
113
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,720
that way.
But The thing is, again, like I
114
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,400
said, it's their team and
they're going to focus on their
115
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,480
roster build.
And if that's what they think
116
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,560
they need in return, then it's,
you know, commonality is good,
117
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:49,720
but you're not always going to
have that.
118
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,120
Yeah, yeah, I, I think so.
I mean, and I guess it's it's
119
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,680
their team, their choice.
It's just like that person told
120
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,320
me in one year league last year,
you can't make my starting
121
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,240
lineup for me, my team, my
choice.
122
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,760
And I want to be like, no, your
team, my choice.
123
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,560
But another thing though,
another thing to the topic of
124
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,400
Marvin Harrison or anyone in in
that range, that's fluid too.
125
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,520
Like we could go to the middle
of the season and Harrison could
126
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,080
still, you know, be putting up
pedestrian numbers.
127
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,360
Now that evaluation for Marvin
Harrison is going to change.
128
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,880
It's just going to change.
Things change as games are
129
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,280
played right now in the
offseason, there's going to be
130
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,760
hype around Marvin Harrison
because we're we're going to
131
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,520
we're going to envision that
he's going to take a step up.
132
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,960
And right now that's all we have
is just we think he'll take a
133
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,520
step up.
Well, we don't we don't have
134
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,120
game film tape yet or right now.
We haven't seen him play in
135
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,360
2026, so the time to get a guy
like that, if he's not
136
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,560
attainable right now, would be
during the season if he had a
137
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,400
couple down weeks.
So you always have to look at it
138
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,320
that way.
And I mean, I guess this will
139
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,960
naturally kind of bring me into
a point we, we briefly covered
140
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,760
on our, our pre podcast chat.
And, and I'll ask you how you do
141
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,520
it or maybe it's a combination
of both.
142
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,240
Because I mean, I would say I
end up doing both of these, but
143
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,360
I do one and a lot more than I
do the other.
144
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,080
When I look for assets, am I
looking to trade for a specific
145
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:27,160
player or do I look at an owner
and see what they have and then
146
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,920
kind of decide it's like, you
know, are you going to go across
147
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,919
across an entire city for an
item or are you going to go to
148
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:37,919
your local store?
You might just pick what's at
149
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:40,679
your local store because it's
it's a little bit easier, It's
150
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,200
more convenient.
People that get back to me,
151
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:50,360
people that enjoy trading,
people that seem to have a
152
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,440
similar understanding of value.
I tend my tend to find myself
153
00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:01,440
locking into certain owners that
I know I can hopefully work a
154
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,880
deal out with and then just
picking from what they have that
155
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,440
is available.
Because truly, in the offseason,
156
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,840
you can make a positive or
negative narrative for any
157
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,760
player you want and you can say,
oh, he's going to turn it all
158
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,840
around.
It's the year 8 breakout.
159
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:25,280
I know it's going to happen.
You can say everything you've
160
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:30,440
seen is just a product of a
system in a situation and you
161
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,640
think that player is overvalued.
But when it comes to trading, do
162
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,720
you find yourself doing more of
one than the other?
163
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,160
You're going to kind of go to
the receptive audience or you're
164
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,360
willing to go into the danger
zone and you know you're going
165
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,520
to fight for what you think you
want.
166
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,280
Yeah, it's that, that's a way
good way to put it.
167
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,280
I, I honestly think it's
definitely, definitely a little
168
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,120
bit of both for sure.
I'm willing to go into the
169
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,040
danger zone.
I'm willing to go into the Shark
170
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,440
Tank and try to find deals
wherever you can.
171
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,440
And but obviously there's going
to be certain certain owners you
172
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,800
go, you go to for trades and
like you said, response time
173
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,400
might be bad.
There just might be no
174
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,520
communication as far as like why
they don't want this trade or no
175
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,320
counter offers.
So it makes it tough to, to put
176
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,640
together a trade.
I mean, I think it's still
177
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,800
important to try, but I think in
general, and I think this will
178
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,520
go for most people.
I mean, I'm not going to speak
179
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,240
for everyone, but I think most
people will trade with the
180
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,040
people that they've trade with
before or people they know are
181
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,720
responsive people that, that
have discussions and counter
182
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,400
offers and, and the back and
forth, which is, which is part
183
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,320
of trades.
You know, that's you got to have
184
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,400
that back and forth.
You got to have that, those
185
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,480
counter offers to, to at least
get to a starting point and then
186
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,440
get to possibly get to an
agreement and trade.
187
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,840
I think for me, I'm definitely
willing to send an offer to any
188
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:54,600
team, But I think when you have
a comfortable, you know, place
189
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,360
to go to for trades as far as
someone you know, will reply and
190
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,920
you know, we'll have a good
conversation about it.
191
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,840
I think that's where most people
will probably attend, will
192
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,240
probably tend to to go to when
they look for trades.
193
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,400
That's right.
I like, I like going to the
194
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,920
local corner store.
I'm not, I'm not going across
195
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,600
town.
I'm not going to the whole, not
196
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,960
going to the Whole Foods.
You know, it's 1/2 an hour away.
197
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,760
I'll just, I'll just go to the
local gas station and pick up
198
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,800
what I can, what I need at that
point.
199
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,280
Well, I don't know.
I don't know what gas station
200
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,160
you're going to go to, but I'm
not sure if many of them have 8
201
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,520
future first round picks.
That'd be a very interesting.
202
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:41,120
No, no, but coming back to,
well, I guess before we get to
203
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,480
Marvin Harris and I, I 'cause I,
I for whatever reason, I guess
204
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,800
he, he's, he's been a, a target
of mine this week and a
205
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,840
frustration of mine.
So when I didn't know what to
206
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,040
do, I did what any modern person
would do.
207
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,520
I turned to ChatGPT.
I said, all right, we're going
208
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,640
to take the collection of the
world's knowledge, the top AI
209
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,800
think tank here, and I'm going
to ask them not about Marvin
210
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,960
Harrison junior.
I was curious more about dynasty
211
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,680
and pick value, the whole idea.
And I know you and I, we both
212
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,480
listen to some of the same
podcast.
213
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,040
What's that dynasty domain?
I think they're called?
214
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,280
And they certainly have been
ones that talked about how after
215
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:34,080
about pick 1617 in the rookie
draft, the remaining first
216
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,800
rounders are an equivalent to a
typical draft class in in a
217
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,960
second round.
So once you hit about the 17
218
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:46,360
you're, you're looking at a
typical 2122 and so forth.
219
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:51,640
So I asked ChatGPT the same
question and it would take this
220
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,120
for what it's worth because
ChatGPT, you know, if you catch
221
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,520
them making an error, I don't
know if you've ever done that.
222
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,320
If chat GTT makes an error and
you say, hey, you were wrong,
223
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,240
they just say, Oh yeah, I'm
sorry about that.
224
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,720
They don't really take a lot of
ownership of the answer.
225
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,360
But I asked them about 27 versus
26 rookie picks and they said
226
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:19,520
no, that I am devaluing the 2026
rookie class by a lot.
227
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:27,040
And they think that a 27 first.
If we if we're looking at say
228
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:32,320
the 26 pick number six, the one
O 6, they said that that was
229
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:38,320
worth a 27 first and a second.
I don't know where they got that
230
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,080
data, but I don't know.
I don't know if you would tend
231
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,400
to agree with that or what what
you think about that fine from
232
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,840
ChatGPT.
I I don't know, I think they
233
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,760
just pick something out of the
hat and just read it to you.
234
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,120
I think that's what it sounds
like to me.
235
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,320
But no, honestly, one O 6 A one
O 6 this year for 2027, first
236
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,200
and second, I'd rather have the
272027 side.
237
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,080
But I mean, I guess without
knowing where that 2027 pick is
238
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,520
at, maybe that's where they're
coming from with that answer.
239
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,440
But I still don't think it's, I
still think I'd rather have the
240
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,760
future, future first because of
the just that we know how deep
241
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,880
the class is going to be at all
positions.
242
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,160
And that's why I think it's,
Yeah, I think, I think I'd
243
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,920
rather much rather have, you
know, the second on top of the
244
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,120
2027 first for sure.
Yeah.
245
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,920
And I and I think that part of
what you just said is where it
246
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,640
was coming from.
It said that the the one O 6 is
247
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,160
known, the future 1st is
unknown.
248
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I, yeah, yeah.
249
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,240
I can see that, you know, and I
can see how an actual dynasty
250
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,800
order will give you that answer
too, because they know the known
251
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,440
is the one O 6, the draft, the
NFL draft is a month away.
252
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,240
So they know you know what they
have right now in hand.
253
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,360
The future is always tough to
tell.
254
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,440
Obviously in hindsight, if that
first round pick 2027 ends up
255
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,280
being top three, there is no
debate which side won.
256
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,520
But again, you don't know that
right now.
257
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,720
You have to project.
Yeah, and, and I'm sure Chad TPT
258
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:13,760
isn't doing a lot of dynasty
rookie scouting that they're not
259
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,440
doing.
They're not watching a lot of
260
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:21,360
tape.
So before we get into Marvis and
261
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,840
Harrison Junior, there's one
other question I want to ask
262
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,280
you.
And I know we talked about
263
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,720
rankings, we talked about trade
calculators.
264
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,960
I I have this one question here.
And I just think it's important
265
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,000
because it's such an overarching
question before we get into the
266
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,040
specifics.
Can your team get ahead without
267
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,840
making trades?
I don't think so at all.
268
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:48,160
The chances of you hitting on
everyone that you pick and
269
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:55,480
avoiding injury, avoiding
players that bust, I mean, how
270
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,960
you going to get ahead when you
just hope that if you plant the
271
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,240
right seeds, you're going to
come and you're going to reap
272
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,400
this harvest.
And I guess I've never seen a
273
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:11,040
team get by without trading.
No, you don't have to be hyper
274
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,280
addicted to trading to get
ahead.
275
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,320
No, I'm not saying that, but for
some tree teams that are trade
276
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,760
adverse, I I would tend to think
you're, you're hurting yourself.
277
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,760
Yeah.
No, I, I, I went through there.
278
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,840
I think there is obviously 2
extremes to this.
279
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,040
Obviously trading all day
everyday and end up with a
280
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,160
different roster every two
weeks.
281
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,880
That's one extreme that you
don't want to be on and then the
282
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,960
other extreme is to not trade at
all, to stand pat, to decline
283
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,480
everything and just see what
happens.
284
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,400
Everything play like redraft.
I think that's all.
285
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,400
Obviously the extreme you don't
want to be on either.
286
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,520
I think when it comes to trades,
I think you do need to make
287
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,280
trades to build your roster, to
get ahead, to look to the future
288
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,200
two to three-year window to to
see those things, you know, play
289
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,040
out.
You can't.
290
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,040
I don't think you could just sit
back and absolutely do nothing
291
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,240
at all because in reality, you
can't win your league at the
292
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,320
draft anyway.
You could have one of the best
293
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,280
drafts you thought that anyone
has.
294
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,720
But like at the end of the day,
you still need to make those
295
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,839
moves to get yourself ahead even
more.
296
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,680
And it, and it doesn't mean just
make trades just to make trades.
297
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,880
You have to always be willing to
try to look, look for offers or,
298
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,240
or situations that can make your
roster better now and the next
299
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,520
couple years.
Those are the best teams.
300
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,400
The best dynasty teams are the
ones that are always looking,
301
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,200
not not looking far ahead.
I mean, we're not playing this
302
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,200
5-10 years.
I mean, that doesn't make any
303
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,880
sense, but you're always looking
for the next way to build value
304
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,840
to your roster.
Dynasty is all about value.
305
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:41,040
And if you want to want to sit
back and do nothing at all, you
306
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,800
may have a great roster and you
may contend, but all it takes is
307
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,360
a couple injuries and now you're
sitting in in a situation where
308
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:49,280
you could have built, you could
have got more on what you on top
309
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,520
of what you have already.
Now you're you're scrambling to
310
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,240
find anything.
So I would always entertain
311
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,000
someone's offer, always
entertain it, always look at it
312
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,080
and see, can this make my team
better?
313
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,000
Doesn't make sense.
If it doesn't, that's totally
314
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000
fine.
But always look at offers or
315
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,760
look at other people's rosters
and see what would make sense
316
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,200
for my team and what would make
sense for their team.
317
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:12,520
I mean, I know how that's how I
like to look at trades.
318
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,960
I always like to to look at what
would make sense for that team
319
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,000
because I'm not going to send an
offer that doesn't make sense
320
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,800
for them because that's
pointless, is wasting their time
321
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,160
and what would make sense for my
team.
322
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,000
Try to find that.
Try to find that.
323
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,200
But obviously if you have an
elite player, you're going to
324
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,480
want a ton in return.
But you want to look at the
325
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,960
rosters because too many people
just send trades out and they
326
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,560
don't look at their roster.
You know, you have to look at
327
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,800
rosters.
But yeah, to to your point, to
328
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,360
your question, I don't think you
can get ahead by not doing
329
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:43,600
anything at all.
I think you need to be active.
330
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,880
And at the end of the day, you
join the dynasty league, you're
331
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,240
going to want to be active.
You're not going to want to sit
332
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,440
back.
What's the point of that?
333
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:53,280
That's right.
Nobody's forcing you to be
334
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,760
there.
You you should you should be
335
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,520
enjoying what you spent your
money on.
336
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,440
Yeah.
And that means engaging in the
337
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,640
hobby.
And I will add here, what's the
338
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,640
other point?
I wrote here that I I like to
339
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,160
look at when you make a trade,
it feels like you can kind of
340
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,520
you can.
I don't know, you can grind out
341
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,080
some value.
But when you do do so many
342
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:25,480
trades, there is the downside of
sometimes it truly only takes
343
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:35,120
making one wrong move.
If you gain 3% value on, you
344
00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:38,920
know, you do 5 trades, OK, now
you're 15% ahead and you say,
345
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,400
cool, I just, I just got to do
this another 30 times and my
346
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,560
team's going to be 90% better.
But then you make one trade and
347
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,960
you take all of those profits
and you make one wrong move.
348
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,160
Things don't fall your way and
you lose, you lose, you know,
349
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,760
25% all of a sudden you're,
you're in a bigger hole than
350
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,600
when you started.
And so it's like a lot of
351
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:10,640
things, you know, the, I don't
know, just taking it, you know,
352
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,200
being excessive in life with a
lot of things, it doesn't
353
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,040
usually lead to a lot of good
results.
354
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,120
I was going to say another thing
about trading and in general,
355
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,680
you can go a whole season and
not make a trade and you're
356
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,640
fine.
But the whole point is you
357
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,680
should be actively looking.
You should be actively looking
358
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,120
how to make your roster better.
And if there's no trade to be
359
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:35,520
made at the time, of course,
totally fine.
360
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,800
You do what's best for your
roster.
361
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,600
So it doesn't mean it's not the
quantity of trades you make that
362
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,040
makes your team better.
It's, it's, it's, it's which
363
00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:46,400
type of quality deal you're
going to make or the deal you
364
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,840
don't make.
Sometimes a deal that you don't
365
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,440
make is actually the best deal
to make.
366
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,040
You know, So it's all just about
being active.
367
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,000
That's really what it comes out
to, just being active and, and
368
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,200
participating in and, and
viewing your league, seeing
369
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,760
what's going on.
You don't have to make 50
370
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,240
trades.
You can make one trade.
371
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,640
It's about being active and just
always look into how you can
372
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,760
make a roster better.
Absolutely.
373
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,440
Well, here's a quick exercise.
We've finally gotten to the
374
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:19,160
Marvin Harrison junior portion
of the show, and I'm going to
375
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,720
compare him to a guy that we
compared him to a week or two
376
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,760
ago.
Roma Doonese.
377
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,240
You got 2 year, three players,
two guys, 1 was drafted.
378
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,400
What was it first?
The other one was drafted 4th.
379
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:36,640
They're both drafted very high
in their respective draft and
380
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:43,080
according to keep trade cut.
That's just one one database,
381
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,480
but it's the one I'm going to
use for this comparison.
382
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,680
They say that Marvin Harrison
junior, when it comes to a
383
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,160
startup pick, is worth about the
one of the five O 5 or five O 6,
384
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,040
so middle of the fifth round.
Roma Dunze on the other hand, is
385
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:04,200
ranked an entire round ahead of
him the the four O 6.
386
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,600
At that price, who would you
rather have?
387
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,440
Would you rather have Roma
Doonese in the 4th or would you
388
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,720
rather have Marvin Harrison
Junior in the 5th?
389
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,400
Yeah, I mean, I'm taking Marvin
Harrison Junior in the 5th.
390
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,960
I I definitely am.
I think they're very similar
391
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,360
right now.
And you know how last year
392
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:24,960
obviously was a let down for
both of them.
393
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,920
But I think when when you look
at Marvin Harrison Junior and
394
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,440
his opportunity this year, I
think of the two players,
395
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,080
Harrison has the best
opportunity to jump really high
396
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,000
in these rankings.
I really do.
397
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,200
We talked about in our wide
receiver rankings how high we
398
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,720
are on him and how we think he
can.
399
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,480
He could be one of those guys
that really elevate his game
400
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,440
this year.
I I think of Rome, I do like a
401
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,480
dude, I really do.
I just think, man, I look at
402
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,120
that offense and I know they
love to run the ball.
403
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,960
They got, they have Colston
Loveland, they have Luther
404
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,320
Burden.
There's only so much that can go
405
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,480
around.
Someone's going to hit.
406
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,800
You would think it you would
hope it'd be a Doons day.
407
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,240
I think he's I, I believe he's
still a better overall receiver
408
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,600
than Burden.
But we got to see that.
409
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,000
We have to see that first, you
know, to really make that
410
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,640
determination because both of
them, you know, different
411
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,200
trajectories last year.
This is a big year for a Doons
412
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,680
day.
But yeah, I would definitely, I
413
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,000
I would prefer Harrison at that
draft value over a Doons day.
414
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,280
Excellent.
Excellent.
415
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,400
Yeah, No, I would take, I'd take
Marvin Harrison.
416
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:31,840
They're at the same same as you.
There's a lot of good players
417
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,960
available in the fourth round.
There's still a lot of good
418
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,800
players available in the fifth
round.
419
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:43,560
But when Burden is also
available in the fifth round and
420
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,720
people are feeling, you know, a
greater level of hype about him,
421
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:53,160
myself included.
And Rome roams a whole round
422
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,920
earlier.
I'd rather just spend that pic
423
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,000
elsewhere.
And they have an equal
424
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,200
opportunity.
I mean, I guess you can say O
425
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,360
Dune's a situation is better,
right?
426
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,680
You got, you know, all the
sudden we're looking at Jacoby
427
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,320
Brissette with these rose
colored glasses on because he
428
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,520
did really well in junk time
last year.
429
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,120
If Jacoby Brissette was a
quality NFL starter, he kind of
430
00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:21,080
probably wouldn't have had the
journeyman career he's had.
431
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:27,040
And so, but to answer this
question, I'm also going to go
432
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,560
with Marvin Harrison Junior.
So moving on, it's a topic of
433
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:32,720
the show.
It's trades.
434
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:40,040
And we, we plucked a few trades
from the DLF message boards and
435
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,760
some from real life in our own
league.
436
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,280
So I'll let you start out Weapon
X.
437
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,600
Which trade do you want to bring
to the table?
438
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,160
And we'll talk it out.
OK, so I I found.
439
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,520
A12 team super flex start 10.
That's similar to most leagues
440
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,600
that you see now.
So the trade here is the dynasty
441
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:06,160
owner is giving up a Marin
Hampton, Herbert Ward, QJ
442
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,760
Quinton Johnson and you know, I
have to have this guy to trade.
443
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,040
You know, we have to.
We're big fans of this player,
444
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,240
RJ Harvey, top player of all
time.
445
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,320
So that that that is the trade
for his side.
446
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:22,280
So Hampton, Herbert, Ward, QJ,
all time great RJ Harvey and he
447
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:27,280
would get in return he gets
Bijan, Jayden, Daniels, Stafford
448
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,960
and a 2027 third.
I think that's got a lot there.
449
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,040
What do you think?
All right.
450
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:40,200
Well, you speak faster than I
can write, so I got Hampton, I
451
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:45,240
got Hampton Herbert and I heard
the all time great RJ Harvey was
452
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:50,760
there and QJ, QJ and Cam Ward.
All right, QJ and.
453
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,880
Cam Ward OK, yeah, so this would
be.
454
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,280
Two quarterbacks on each.
Side on this.
455
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,400
Trade all right.
And then I got.
456
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,720
Bijon and Daniels on the other
side.
457
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,160
Bijon Daniels.
Stafford and then a 2027 third.
458
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,680
20 all right.
So well, when I look and this is
459
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,560
a super flex 2 PR league, just
like the the one we're in 12
460
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,800
teams start 10 players.
All right, well, first thing I
461
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,920
do with a trade like this is I
cross out the third.
462
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,520
I don't care about that.
That isn't that shouldn't be
463
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,760
swaying your decision making.
And then I look and I say, oh,
464
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,880
OK, well, we got Hampton for
Bijon.
465
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,800
And so we assume the Bijon owner
is saying I'm going to tear down
466
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,520
to Hampton and I'm going to get
these additional assets, which I
467
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,960
think is a pretty smart move.
When you have elite assets,
468
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:50,720
there's only so much room for a
player who's ranked 3rd overall
469
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,520
to go up in value.
How much more do you want them
470
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,120
to go up?
They're going to go up the other
471
00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:58,880
two spots if they're ranked
number one at their position
472
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,400
like Bijan is it?
Is he truly going to be that
473
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,720
much more productive than Omari
and Hampton?
474
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,400
I mean, granted, Bijan is
displayed elite production year
475
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,520
in and year out.
So I don't know.
476
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,320
I, I tend to like if I were to
have an elite asset, I do tend
477
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,880
to like the idea of tearing down
and getting some additional
478
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,800
players that have an opportunity
to gain value.
479
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,760
But so we got basically Bijon
for Hampton.
480
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,360
This is how you see a lot of
folks do it on the message
481
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:33,440
boards.
Well, Bijon is better than
482
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,600
Hampton.
We know that.
483
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,160
And then we look at it here.
We're going to go Herbert, who's
484
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,240
been on the rise for Daniels.
That's a that's a tough one.
485
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,960
Daniels looked really good a
couple of years ago, but then he
486
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,840
had an injury plague season.
So people, what did I I have him
487
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,960
in one league and somebody said,
oh, he's he's made a glass now.
488
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,920
That seems like a a bit of an
exaggeration.
489
00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:03,040
Herbert or Daniels?
I mean, the Herbert situation,
490
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,080
you got Mike McDaniel, that's
pretty good.
491
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,720
And you got Daniels hoping he's
going to return to form.
492
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,720
I'm going to, I'm going to put
them at this point equal.
493
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:16,120
I'm OK with either or the
ceiling of Daniels, but the kind
494
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:19,040
of that solid foundational piece
in Herbert.
495
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,600
So I'm going to cross those guys
out.
496
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:27,400
Then you got Stafford or Ward.
Well, that's a, that's really a
497
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,840
question of are you looking to
compete this year or do you have
498
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:37,920
some, some runway?
And I mean, so that's a that's a
499
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,560
tough one.
I don't really know if we can
500
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,480
look at that.
I mean, we can only assume Cam
501
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,560
Ward is going to get better.
He didn't totally flop his first
502
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,120
year.
He didn't get in trouble
503
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,800
legally, he didn't have a lot of
off the field problems.
504
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,680
So there's nothing that we're
complaining about with Cam Ward
505
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,160
other than, oh, he wasn't a
superstar when he had like no
506
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,240
one to throw to.
Like that to me just doesn't
507
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,400
seem like a very fair assessment
on Cam Ward.
508
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:13,800
So then we're looking at a free
All pro RJ Harvey and a free QJ.
509
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,040
Yeah, those are those are assets
and I'll ask you about them
510
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,880
specifically, RJ Harvey and
Quinton Johnson.
511
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,080
Are those really just kind of
they're not roster cloggers at
512
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,160
this point?
No way.
513
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,080
But are they fool's gold?
Are these players that on paper
514
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,000
have value but in reality?
Yeah, yeah.
515
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,640
How good do?
You feel like nobody's basing
516
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,040
their game plan around having
Quinton Johnson.
517
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,520
Yeah, I agree with that, I
think.
518
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,680
I think those two assets at the
end of the trade there, QJ and
519
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:55,160
Harvey, you're not going into
the seasons hoping and expecting
520
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,680
that they're a core part of your
roster, so they're adders to
521
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,040
this trade.
I don't know.
522
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,040
I mean, I don't know, man, like
RJ Harvey with with with Dobbins
523
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,480
back it, it's it really
diminishes his potential to to
524
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,600
do a ton on the ground.
We know that.
525
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,600
We saw when Dobbins was healthy
last year, there was no question
526
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,840
who the go to back was.
There was no question
527
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,640
whatsoever.
And will that situation play out
528
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:18,760
again?
I mean, I don't see why I
529
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,560
wouldn't.
They're they're a contending
530
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,560
team.
No, Dobbins is one of the most
531
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,960
efficient running backs in the
NFL.
532
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,280
As long as he stays healthy,
he's going to get to work.
533
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,040
So for this specific season, it
makes it it makes it tough to be
534
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,600
super excited to have Harvey in
your starting lineup.
535
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,880
It does, but we'll see what
happens as the season goes on.
536
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,240
But yeah, QJ and Harvey, I would
like to have them on my roster
537
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,000
100%.
I think they're good players to
538
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,040
have, but they're not players
are going to build your roster
539
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,480
around right now.
Yeah, well.
540
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,720
Looking at this, I, I think I
would take the Hampton side
541
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,640
because yeah, you're tearing
down from Dijon.
542
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,600
You're, you're not getting a guy
in Herbert that has any injury
543
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,360
flags.
Plus you're getting a couple of
544
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,880
question marks again.
RJ Harvey year 2, there's a
545
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,400
chance he improves.
You know, why wouldn't he
546
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,760
improve?
He's going to have another year
547
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,720
in the NFLQJ.
He's a bench player.
548
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,840
We all need bench players.
And then he got Cam Ward.
549
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,160
Matthew Stafford cannot play
forever.
550
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,480
So I tend to think I would take
the Hampson side.
551
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,600
Which side did you end up
picking?
552
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,680
I actually.
I actually would have taking the
553
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,000
Bijan side and the reason I say
that is because if you're a
554
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,720
Bijan Robinson owner, you got to
get blown away for an offer.
555
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,560
Really do.
I don't know if this is a blow
556
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,800
away type of offer.
I don't know how you feel about
557
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,920
it because we're adding in
Jayden Daniels in the trade.
558
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,760
If Jayden Daniels was maybe a
more of a second 13 tier
559
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,720
quarterback, say Jayden Daniels
in this trade was golf, I'd feel
560
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,160
much better.
I'd feel much better about
561
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,240
making the deal for Hampton
Herbert Award, but I don't know.
562
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,480
I I think I would just hold
Bijan in this because I think
563
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,480
you can, from the offers I've
seen people get for Bijan
564
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,600
Robinson just by himself.
I think you can get more.
565
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,640
I really do.
And it's not because Hampton
566
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,000
isn't someone that can emerge
and be the type of, I mean, he's
567
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,800
be he's valued as a top three to
four dynasty running back right
568
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:14,840
now.
Like you said, it's, there's
569
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:19,400
always so far he can go.
But Bee John Robinson has done
570
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,640
it.
He's been doing it.
571
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,520
We need to see Hamptons do it
first to, to say they're in the
572
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:25,600
same tier.
You know what I mean?
573
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,880
So I, I, I don't think it's, I
don't think you'd be crazy to
574
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,360
take the offer, but I, I would
still feel more comfortable
575
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,000
keeping Bee John and looking for
something else.
576
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,520
Oh, I I.
Absolutely agree.
577
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,240
Yeah, I know there's certainly
better offers out there and
578
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,160
fillers like RJ Harvey and
Quinton Johnson, they, they
579
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:50,320
confuse the value of the trade.
And you know, what have you done
580
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,680
for me lately?
Jane Daniels, well, he was
581
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,200
injured last year.
So we feel that's kind of baked
582
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,240
into the price that, you know,
OK, you had an injury last year.
583
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,040
So now we're going to feel that
you're injury prone.
584
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,320
Whether that's fair or not, who
knows.
585
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,040
But yeah, no, I, I certainly
think you're right.
586
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,240
You probably could get a
potentially a better deal.
587
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,240
But if I had to pick, pick
between these two, I'll, I'll,
588
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,000
I'll take, I'll take the
additional assets and a
589
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,240
quarterback that's not going to
retire or any.
590
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,880
OK, Yeah.
And and to go back to the
591
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,760
original post, the poster is the
one who wants Bizon Robinson.
592
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,760
It says here, the comments says
been trying to get Bizon for a
593
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,520
while now.
This is the closest I've been.
594
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,360
So in their in their aspect of
it, they're trying to get Bizon.
595
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,480
So if that trade can get
accepted for them, I'd say go
596
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,200
for it because that's the side
I'd rather have you.
597
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:50,840
Know OK well I guess that's what
makes it interesting and you
598
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:57,720
can't work out a trade if people
don't respond I I guess I no
599
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,880
matter what trades people send
me unless they're just absolute
600
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,520
trash, I always like to send the
person back kind of what I would
601
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,520
want for that asset even if it's
way underpriced.
602
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,679
Well, OK, this is what I would
take because you never know
603
00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:17,760
where you might end up.
But yeah, I guess not everybody
604
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,560
does it the same way.
Another trade here, I guess this
605
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,639
one is from our league.
It happened.
606
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,159
It happened this week.
There was some commentary about
607
00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:38,440
it and it was basically it was
the rookie pick 15, the 5th pick
608
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:45,840
in the rookie draft, Arande
Gadsen, Jalen Noel, the 3/8 and
609
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,000
the 312 for a 2027 first and
Blake Cora.
610
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,840
And I'll be honest, this is a
trade I did.
611
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:01,600
I, I received the 1st and Blake
Corum.
612
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,720
But so clearly I would take that
side.
613
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,280
But I, I can see the value
clearly the trade calculators
614
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,720
liked it.
They they liked it on the other
615
00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:16,920
side a whole lot more, which I'm
willing to take a hit on trades
616
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,480
like this because once again,
what do I do when I go up to the
617
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,320
trade?
Well, I cross out those third
618
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,200
round picks, right?
We're not going to worry about
619
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,000
those.
So it's really Gadsen Knoll in
620
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,800
the 15 for a first and core the
15.
621
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,040
Now that's not the 18, it's not
the 16.
622
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:42,040
It's in a superflex that's most
likely going to be one of the
623
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:46,840
top three wide receivers, you
know, or if something falls to
624
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,880
you, something even better.
So that's not a chump change
625
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:56,040
pick for an unknown 27.
First, that's fueled off a hype
626
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,080
Gadsen, you know, he he looked
good last year.
627
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,440
We saw what Mike McDaniels could
do even with pedestrian guys
628
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,280
like a an old Darren Waller or
Jonnu Smith.
629
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:14,600
If Mike McDaniels, if they if
somehow Gadsen doesn't get, you
630
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:19,360
know, sniped by a rookie,
there's potential for some real
631
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,000
blow up games this year.
And Jalen Knoll, he was a third
632
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,920
round pick with Christian Kirk
out of town.
633
00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:30,360
You know, he wasn't just like,
you know, a 6th 7th round pick
634
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:36,120
that somehow made the roster.
But I like the first and I also
635
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,880
like the I needed a running
back.
636
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,760
So some of that was a trade for
need.
637
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,320
And and Blake Corum, you know,
you talked about him.
638
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,400
He's he's one of the most high
value handcuffs in the league.
639
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,200
Yeah, no doubt about it.
He's.
640
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,240
A high value handcuff.
He also has individual solo
641
00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:54,880
value as well.
We've seen that already,
642
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,040
especially last season.
Yeah, I mean, this type of
643
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:02,240
trade, I personally don't think
there was like a slam dunk
644
00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:04,480
winner either way.
I, I mean, I just don't see it
645
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,400
that way.
I think it made sense for both
646
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,280
your rosters, like I said saying
earlier, certain times you go
647
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,440
into trade seeing what makes
sense for both this type of
648
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,400
trade where there's no elite
asset in it.
649
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,520
It it just just makes sense to
look at the trade and see how
650
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,880
does this benefit this roster
and that roster.
651
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,480
I think it benefits Amaru.
He now is back-to-back picks in
652
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,480
the first round this year in the
2026 rookie draft.
653
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,160
He can really develop a good
strategy there.
654
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,880
And also you you got another
first round pick to continue to
655
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,920
build that future value.
And then you get a guy that you
656
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,640
like and Blake Quorum.
This is not a this is not a win
657
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,240
or loss type of trade in my
opinion.
658
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:44,320
I think it it benefits both
teams for the strategy that
659
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,920
they're the building, like what
your strategy you're building or
660
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,560
what strategy that Mario is
building.
661
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:54,520
It was a Mario Star Flowers very
solid floor type of deal.
662
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:57,960
I I think.
You're right.
663
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,080
I think you're right.
Yeah.
664
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,280
I I didn't think it was going to
get as much traction in the
665
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,400
league chat, but that's
interesting.
666
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,200
You know, I guess some people
see it differently.
667
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,520
Gives gives folks something to
talk about.
668
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:11,800
Well, we talked about it, all
right.
669
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,320
You and I had to talk a
conversation about it.
670
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,880
Trades are not about how many of
this that you got or how what is
671
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,520
the list of players or what is
the list of picks you got.
672
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,600
I got eight players and five
picks.
673
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,560
This team got 3.
So obviously the the the team
674
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,640
that got 13 picks and players
wins.
675
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,920
No, each individual player has a
value.
676
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,920
Each individual pick has a value
to 2027 thirds.
677
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,320
Like you said, you just you
don't, you can cross them out
678
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,280
there.
They're not different makers in
679
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,880
the trade.
So it's about the quality of the
680
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,120
players you're getting and what
is going to make your roster
681
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,000
better.
It makes both rosters better.
682
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,600
What you guys got.
That's how I feel about it.
683
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,240
I don't think it was AI.
Don't think it was a trade that
684
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,000
you look at the trade and go,
whoa, this, this was a terrible
685
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,440
offer.
Not it was a good trade for both
686
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:57,400
teams.
I really think it was.
687
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,840
ChatGPT you.
Didn't like it?
688
00:39:01,240 --> 00:39:03,800
Yeah, chat.
Chat, chat beats, like I said,
689
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,400
they're picking things out of
hats.
690
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,480
They got to start, they got to
develop that system a little
691
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:08,920
better.
You got to, I mean, we're in
692
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,680
2026.
You don't have to do the pick a
693
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,000
name of a hat thing anymore.
There's other ways to, to
694
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,960
evaluate things.
Oh, of course.
695
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:17,880
Of course.
So what do you got for our our
696
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,120
next trade?
All right, this.
697
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,200
One I figured since we've been
talking about Marvel lot, I I
698
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:24,760
mean, we're going to have to
have him in a trade.
699
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:29,600
We have to do it.
Oh, no, the one the one I have
700
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,000
here, it's a very simple trade.
There's not a lot of not a lot
701
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:38,040
of players involved in this one.
It's CD lamb for Marv one O 6
702
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,160
and 210.
That's it.
703
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:40,720
That's that's the offer right
there.
704
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,400
I like that trade.
It's very simple, but it's also,
705
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,120
you know, one to have a good
conversation about.
706
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,960
So CD Lamb for Marvin Harrison,
the one O 6 and the two 10210.
707
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,000
So both picks are.
This year's draft is not no
708
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,840
future First, second, nothing.
I can tell you.
709
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,600
That the, I would imagine the
trade calculator would like the
710
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,760
Lamb side.
I I've never been a big CD Lamb
711
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:11,840
owner or or fan.
I think in like the, you know,
712
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,640
last 12 or so years I've been
playing a lot of dynasty
713
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,680
football.
I've had CD Lamb on like one
714
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,560
team and I had them for about 5
weeks and that was it.
715
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,480
So he's he's he's a guy.
I mean, I know he's up in that
716
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:31,240
elite tier of wide receiver.
He's tied to Dak Prescott.
717
00:40:31,240 --> 00:40:36,160
They like to pass a lot.
But now all of a sudden he's not
718
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:41,080
the only show in town anymore.
It's just a question of is the
719
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,560
potential of Marvin Harrison
Junior 'cause that's all it is
720
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,120
right now.
There is no production.
721
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,880
It's just potential.
And then you got a a middling
722
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,440
pick in the one O 6.
Like, OK, you're not going to
723
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,880
mainly get your, if it's super
flex, you're not going to
724
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,640
probably get the three wide
receivers.
725
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,160
You might get Kenyan Siddique,
you might get another wide
726
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,520
receiver that falls to a good
situation or a running back that
727
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:10,000
falls to a good situation.
Yeah.
728
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:16,680
I this is tough, I would tend to
think with echoes back to what
729
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,080
we talked about in the Bijan
trade.
730
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,520
I think you could get something
better for CD Lamb than this.
731
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,760
And the 210 is close enough to
1/3.
732
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:32,000
I'm crossing that out.
So it's 22 assets for one and
733
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,600
it's a guy that's done nothing
for an all pro and a pick and a
734
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,360
down class.
I think you can do better.
735
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,840
I'm with.
You right there the the person
736
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,200
who posted here was asking they
have lamb on their team.
737
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:50,400
They're asking would you move
Lamb for this package of picks
738
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:51,840
and and Marvin Harrison.
I agree.
739
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,520
I would not do it.
I think you're holding lamb
740
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,480
there.
Absolutely Like we we we like
741
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,720
Marvin Harrison we talked about
already, but this is CD Lamb.
742
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,040
He just he's just too he's just
too productive to trade him for
743
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,880
this package.
I think you can get more for him
744
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,840
for sure, but it's definitely
interesting trade and I'm sure
745
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,480
some people might be a little
torn with this one, but my
746
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,440
opinion, yeah, I think you can
get for more for CD lamp.
747
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,120
I don't think you move them for
that.
748
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,120
All right, all.
Right, well, here's a
749
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:26,120
interesting one.
I commented to this individual
750
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,520
on the chat boards with my
opinion.
751
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:32,040
I'll be sharing here.
This is, you know, superflex 12
752
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,320
team.
PPR league was actually a .5
753
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:39,080
tight end premium, but that has
no bearing on this specific
754
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:45,680
trade and what it was.
One team had Drake May and the
755
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:52,200
one O 9 in the 26 draft and I
guess they were offered Brock
756
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:58,840
Purdy and the one O 1.
So basically Purdy and Love for
757
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:04,720
Drake May and the one O 9.
I think it helped a lot when I
758
00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:07,520
saw this trade going.
Hey, well, I, I just did a start
759
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,520
up.
I the the difference between
760
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:15,040
Jeremiah Love and Drake May.
That was maybe 10 picks in the
761
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,280
first round.
And and I don't anticipate that
762
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,600
other mock drafts or not mock
drafts, other start up drafts
763
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,040
are going to be a whole lot
different, at least at this
764
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,480
point.
So for a span of 10 picks.
765
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,800
You're you're picking up.
A guy like Brock Purdy for the
766
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:37,600
one O 9 and Brock Purdy, we we
already talked about him.
767
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,360
He's a guy that's liable to
throw for 4000 yards, 30
768
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:44,360
touchdowns.
I'm not sure there's going to be
769
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,960
a a whole world of difference at
least this year.
770
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,640
You know, there's a lot of hype
about Drake May, but he's not
771
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,080
prime Pat Mahomes.
We didn't see that.
772
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,160
We didn't see him throw for 50
touchdowns as a rookie.
773
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,680
I, I like the Purdy side a lot
more.
774
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,720
I, I, I don't think you're good.
Yes, you may lose out on some of
775
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:13,480
those rushing QBRS.
You got an elite, you know,
776
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,520
dynasty quarterback for the
future, but you also have a guy
777
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,600
that's considered a generational
talent, the number one running
778
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,160
back in this class.
And when they talk about 2027,
779
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,960
I've seen him projected as he
would also be the number one
780
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:33,480
running back in both classes.
So Jeremiah Love isn't just like
781
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:37,160
a good running back.
He's a very good running back.
782
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,160
That's why he's going in the
first round.
783
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,120
I would take Purdy and the one O
1.
784
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,400
How about you?
Oh yeah, I'm with that.
785
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,600
For sure, Purdy and the one O 1,
which would be Jeremiah Love.
786
00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:50,320
Well, you like you said, May and
Love.
787
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,120
I mean, we already saw in our
draft recently they're both
788
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,680
going first round.
May is going obviously higher,
789
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,360
but we're talking about first
round picks here.
790
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,160
We're not talking about a first
round pick and a fifth round
791
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:02,440
pick.
These are two first round
792
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:06,240
dynasty startup draft picks,
elite prospects, elite players
793
00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:09,000
that have on your team.
So so you have that.
794
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:10,960
The one O 9 doesn't get me
there.
795
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,360
It's not even close.
The one O 9, you look at the
796
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,760
draft here.
I mean, it could be Jonah
797
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,160
Coleman, Denzel Boston, Jadarian
price.
798
00:45:19,240 --> 00:45:22,600
You're looking at that tier.
You know, KC conception, that's
799
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,640
the tier you're looking at is.
So now you're looking at it that
800
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,840
way.
Say you draft, say you draft
801
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:30,320
Jonah Coleman, you get a running
back May Jonah Coleman for Purdy
802
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:31,520
and love.
It's Purdy and love.
803
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:32,640
It's it.
It's not close.
804
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,920
I think you're going Purdy.
Love Purdy is a very, very good
805
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:40,360
dynasty asset and you can get
him at a good value right now in
806
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:41,880
drafts.
And I think fourth round,
807
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:43,960
usually third, fourth round,
that's a really good value.
808
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,240
He's a he's a solid quarterback.
And Jeremiah Love, like you
809
00:45:47,240 --> 00:45:50,800
said, he's this is not just a a
typical prospect coming in the
810
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,680
NFL.
This is an elite level top five
811
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,320
potential draft pick and there's
not many of those that had come
812
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,200
into the NFL.
The ones that have, let's be
813
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,080
real, the ones that have for the
majority of time recently,
814
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,600
they've they've hit, you know,
let's look back and let's look
815
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,800
back, look back in time.
Todd Gurley, you know, I don't
816
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,480
know exactly.
Do you remember what pick he was
817
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,840
in the draft?
I know it was pretty high, the
818
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,560
NFL draft.
I have to look that I have.
819
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,280
To look that one up, but Todd
Gurley was one of those players
820
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,680
people were talking about before
he came out, similar to Nick
821
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:20,440
Chubb.
Yep, Yep.
822
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,400
And these guys.
They were saying, oh.
823
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,560
Get Nick Chubb next year.
Yeah, and and and.
824
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,560
Nick Chubb.
Todd Gurley, Bijan Robinson,
825
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,120
we're talking to Christian
McCaffrey, all these guys that
826
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,320
were, they were hyped up in
college, they were talking about
827
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,440
him for the year even before
they came into the league.
828
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,560
They hit, you know, and Jeremiah
Love, obviously we all, we want
829
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,480
players to stay healthy.
We really hope they can stay
830
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,840
healthy because that's the key,
especially with running backs in
831
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,800
any position.
If he can stay healthy, I mean,
832
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,400
it's going to be hard for him
not not to be a guy you want on
833
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,760
your team.
I mean, obviously if he lands
834
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,200
with a A-Team, that's just
absolute disaster.
835
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,000
It could be tough for him.
But Jeremiah Love right now, I
836
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,240
mean, the way he's getting
drafted, I mean that that I
837
00:47:01,240 --> 00:47:02,520
think it's pretty love.
You got to go.
838
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:06,280
Pretty love with that one.
Yeah, and it's.
839
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:11,120
As much as it hates to pain me
to, to say this, this might be a
840
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,880
trade that's better worked out.
You got to wait.
841
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,960
You got to be a little bit more
patient because right now we
842
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,880
don't know of any of the
surprise picks that are going to
843
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:28,000
happen Like I I've seen what's
his name Price to Darian price
844
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,080
going to Minnesota in the second
round.
845
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:35,400
Well, all of a sudden you, you
put him in the second round or
846
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,480
Jonah Coleman or whoever you
want to throw into a spot like
847
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,160
that where they look like
they're primed to be the next
848
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:47,720
starter and they jump up ahead
of the One O 9 and some of those
849
00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:53,640
players we have projected fall.
So it will it will mask the
850
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,080
value of this pick or I guess
you could say maybe not mask it.
851
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:02,680
Maybe it maybe it improves it.
I just don't think right now we
852
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,880
can imagine accurately a good
value for the One O 9.
853
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:11,320
We just can't do it.
So if.
854
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,160
Somebody thinks they can down
tier to party and get the one O
855
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:18,160
1.
As I told this owner, I said do
856
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,000
it before your league mate comes
to their senses.
857
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,360
Do it, do it.
You know, I I told them to just
858
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,520
react, do what feels good, do it
right now.
859
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:35,080
So I I think I'm glad to see
we're on the on the same same
860
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,800
wavelength with that trade.
So I don't know what how much
861
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:43,040
time we got left here.
Let's see, we got about, we got
862
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,880
time for one more trade.
Yeah, let's say we've got time
863
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,320
for one more.
Each and I have a good one.
864
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:51,280
I think this one, this one is, I
mean, it's it has Jeremiah Love
865
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,440
in it as well.
But this is a really, really
866
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:54,520
interesting one.
I think.
867
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,440
Yeah, this is probably one of
the more difficult ones we've
868
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,240
done today as far as you know,
which one you feel most
869
00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:01,960
comfortable with.
This is a really, really good
870
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,320
offer.
So the player, the team, it's a
871
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:10,240
12 team superflex PPR start 10.
So the team would receive Genti
872
00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:13,840
and Lad Lad Mcconkey.
He would give up.
873
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,160
He would give up Jeremiah Love
and Luther Burden.
874
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,280
It's a tough one, man, very
tough one.
875
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:25,680
So janty.
And lad for love and burden,
876
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,040
yes, correct.
Oh.
877
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,520
Yeah, No, I thought it was going
to be harder than that.
878
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,240
Yeah.
You got to give me janty and
879
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:39,000
layout here.
I got I You have two unknowns.
880
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:43,480
We're hoping.
We're hoping Burden steps into
881
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,360
that Almond Ross St.
Brown role.
882
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,760
That Burden could get hurt,
whatever.
883
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:53,800
Caleb Williams could get hurt.
Granted, anybody can get hurt,
884
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:58,400
but that's a lot to assume that
he's all the sudden going to
885
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:05,840
elevate himself to the value at
he would have to elevate himself
886
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,560
to the value of Lad Mcconkey,
who had a historic rookie year,
887
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:15,280
a down year last year, But he
he's just such a solid asset to
888
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,680
own.
When I think of solid assets, I
889
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:22,000
always think in my head, Jeremy
Macklin, Jeremy Macklin, he was
890
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,320
just one of those guys.
He was a solid asset year in and
891
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:30,920
year out to have on your team.
And Ladd Mcconkey kind of feels
892
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,000
the same way.
It's not about their play style.
893
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:39,520
It's more about their value.
And Aston Janty, he was last
894
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,680
year's Jeremiah Love.
He was the oh, I'll give you a
895
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,120
I'll give you a four first round
picks.
896
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:52,400
He is he's a start up number one
guy and he lands on the Raiders
897
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:57,040
and we talked about this last
week with Amaru.
898
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:01,840
There's a lot of high hopes for
Jeremiah Love this year and
899
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:06,200
you're gonna you put him on the
Titans like he's he can only
900
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,600
he's one guy.
I mean, what are we expecting
901
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,760
him to do?
You know, just just totally turn
902
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:17,400
the Titans around and he rushes
for 1600 yards and 15 touchdowns
903
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:21,920
and catches 80 passes for
another 10 touchdowns.
904
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:27,680
I mean, come on, it's one guy I
I take, I take the Janty side
905
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:32,320
here and I go with, hey, things
are going to get better for
906
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,440
Ashton Janty.
You're going to get a better
907
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:38,520
quarterback.
The GM, he's on the hot seat.
908
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,600
They got to turn things around.
They got to justify all of this.
909
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:47,480
Get a new, new coach in there.
Things are looking better in Las
910
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:53,560
Vegas and Love is probably going
to go to a crappy situation and
911
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,880
burden.
Yeah, you know, he, he's got a a
912
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:01,240
big mountain to climb to, to get
to where lad already is.
913
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:03,720
Yeah, yeah.
I mean.
914
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:08,880
I look at it like this, this
type of trade can look a lot
915
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,960
different when we're talking
about it start of 2027, Let's
916
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:17,040
just say Jeremiah Love does pop
off and and have a big year and
917
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,000
Ashton Dante has a solid year.
You know, just another solid
918
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:24,480
year, maybe like a top 10 to 12
now.
919
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,440
I mean, you flip this trade
around, say Burden, Lad, both do
920
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,280
solid again this year.
Lad has another decent season
921
00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:34,200
and Burden does as well.
Now you're looking at the trade
922
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,840
and Jeremiah Love is the
cornerstone of the trade as he
923
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,760
is probably now in this trade.
I think that's what people are
924
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:45,280
viewing the most in this trade.
So now Jeremiah Love his value
925
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,760
if he has, if Jeremiah Love, all
he has to do I think is have
926
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:53,280
maybe a top five to seven season
and then he'll firmly be planted
927
00:52:53,720 --> 00:52:56,600
above Gentie next year if Gentie
doesn't break out.
928
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:01,160
So right now though currently
this moment in time, because
929
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,680
it's really hard to project all
those things, I would go with
930
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,640
the Gentie and lad because I do,
I do favor lads and burden right
931
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,240
now.
And I think that's the
932
00:53:08,240 --> 00:53:10,760
difference in the tray with
Gentie and Jeremiah love are
933
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:14,080
both going, you know, they're
both going very similar range.
934
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,040
I think love right now is going
a little ahead of them in
935
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,840
drafts, but they're still still
being picked very high.
936
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:22,440
So when you have the difference
of Lad and Burden, we do need to
937
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,840
see Lad bounce back.
You know, he did, he had a down
938
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:26,480
season.
Let's hope that doesn't happen
939
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,520
again, but we do need to see him
bounce back.
940
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,160
So, you know, it's not a slam
dunk.
941
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,440
This trades terrible, but I
think it's one of them trades
942
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,960
where it can be really.
It could look really interesting
943
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,480
next year around this time.
Oh yeah, I.
944
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:43,280
Wouldn't fault somebody for
taking the love side if they're
945
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,520
soured on the lad and they
soured on Janty and they just
946
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:51,640
want something new and they want
to have those players in the
947
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:55,480
offseason that they got the
arrows pointing up and there
948
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,920
there aren't the questions about
what's going to happen.
949
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:03,480
There's just a lot of positive
imagination about what the
950
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:07,280
future could be and you kind of
want to just re roll with
951
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,360
someone else.
But re rolling from lad to
952
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:14,320
burden, that's that's a big
risk.
953
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,960
And and you don't really need to
to take that.
954
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:22,560
I I don't think so.
But yeah, no, it's always
955
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:27,000
interesting talking trades and
you got to have different
956
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,760
opinions for it to be fun.
But when it comes to Marvin
957
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,960
Harrison junior, I want one
opinion.
958
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:40,600
He's worth a late 1st That's it.
Yeah, we talked a lot about
959
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,720
Marvin Harrison today, and I
think it's a good point you make
960
00:54:43,720 --> 00:54:45,520
there.
It's a good thing to have
961
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,920
different opinions because at
the end of the day, if everyone
962
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,400
viewed each player very
similarly, it'd be really hard
963
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:55,720
to get anything done really.
So it's it's yeah, it's it's
964
00:54:55,720 --> 00:54:57,720
definitely good to have
different opinions on players.
965
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,920
A certain certain people would
view trades as a slam dunk or
966
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:03,720
others would be like, I don't
know what you're talking about,
967
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,600
you know, but no, it's it's fun.
It's fun.
968
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,280
Talking trades is always, you
know, you could talk about this
969
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:10,080
for hours.
It's fun.
970
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,760
There's so many different offers
out there, so many different
971
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,600
offers that we personally have,
you know, seen come our way or
972
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,160
we send to others.
And it's, it's, yeah.
973
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:21,720
Like we talked about earlier,
trading in dynasty is such a,
974
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,040
such an essential part of being
a dynasty owner.
975
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:27,880
You have to be active.
You have to be active, you have
976
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,760
to be looking at values and you
just have to just keep your eye
977
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,160
out.
Always keep your eye out for
978
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:34,480
offers.
Doesn't mean you need to make
979
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,920
trades at all times, but it does
mean you need to be active.
980
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,720
You need to be looking for
different ways to improve your
981
00:55:39,720 --> 00:55:43,400
roster and that's how that's how
you succeed in this.
982
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,360
Absolutely that.
I would agree with you on that
983
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:51,040
and you also and this will kind
of tie into maybe an idea for
984
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,880
the next two weeks.
We've already done wide receiver
985
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:56,360
ones.
We've done running back once.
986
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,360
We're not going to cover
quarterbacks, we're not going to
987
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,680
cover tight up because those
positions just aren't as deep.
988
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,760
And of course you got your wide
receiver and running back once.
989
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,800
That's what everybody wants
their players to become.
990
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,720
When you have a wide receiver
running back too, that's a
991
00:56:13,720 --> 00:56:18,880
starter on your team, but you're
hoping they take that next step
992
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:24,160
where the real value is to be
made is in the wide receiver
993
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:28,000
running back three, right?
That all the sudden you go from
994
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:32,000
a guy that you could get
somewhat cheaply and all the
995
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,880
sudden may become an every week
starter.
996
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,320
And I guess that's somewhat
dependent upon your starting
997
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,440
requirements.
But usually elite teams will
998
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:44,520
have multiple number ones,
they'll have multiple number
999
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,800
twos, and maybe they got 1 #3
starting somewhere.
1000
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:54,520
But yeah, what do you say to to
covering wide receiver threes
1001
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,400
when we talk about a list that
was going to have some
1002
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,440
variation?
I definitely think once we start
1003
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:07,200
looking at the top 36 players,
numbers 25 through 36, there's
1004
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,200
going to be a lot of variation
in there because those numbers
1005
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:15,080
are not set in stone.
Yeah, I I think that'd.
1006
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,280
Be an awesome idea.
You're going to start talking
1007
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,040
about players like Jordan
Addison, Christian Watson,
1008
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,360
Pierce, all you know, players
like that, you know, and it'll
1009
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,920
be it'll be really interesting.
Alec Pierce will be probably in
1010
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:27,840
that discussion, players like
that.
1011
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,920
And that's what you know, like
you said did this is these are
1012
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,640
the players that if you have one
currently on your roster as a
1013
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,920
wide receiver 3 and you got them
at a tremendous value, if they
1014
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,160
can really have a solid year,
man, you're in great.
1015
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,320
You're in great position.
So wide receiver threes would be
1016
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,800
really fun to talk about.
All right, that.
1017
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,360
Sounds like a plan.
That sounds like a plan.
1018
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,920
Well, we've had another
outstanding show, one of the
1019
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:57,440
best of all time and RJ Harvey
level level of product we put
1020
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:01,520
out this week.
I'll, I'll wish you and the
1021
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,400
listeners thank you for
listening.
1022
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,200
Wish you both a good week.
We'll come back next week with
1023
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:11,640
the wide receiver three list and
I'll let you close out the show.
1024
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,480
Yeah, this was.
Another great show, man, Really,
1025
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:18,120
really fun time talking trades.
Like we said many times, this
1026
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:22,920
show, Dynasty fantasy football
trading, it's such an essential
1027
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,160
part to your roster.
And at the end of the day, it's
1028
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,240
fun, you know, and it's fun.
And that's why we do this.
1029
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,040
We if you're not having fun with
it, it's not really much of A
1030
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,560
point to to to play in this.
So yeah, this was a fun show, a
1031
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:36,520
lot of cool trades.
Looking forward to talking some
1032
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,600
more next week about some wide
receiver threes.
1033
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:39,800
All right, have a good week.
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,480
Hello, welcome back to Lab 52, a
dynasty football podcast.
2
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,520
This is not dynasty advice.
Always make sure you do your own
3
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,040
research.
I'm one of your hosts at Tecmo
4
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,560
Weave, joined by my Co host
Weapon X.
5
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,320
And this week Weapon X, we're
going to talk about trades,
6
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,440
right?
That's kind of a general topic.
7
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,560
What were you hoping we were
going to cover this week when we
8
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,600
talked about trades?
Yeah, I just think essentially
9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,240
just going through some trades,
some real trades that are
10
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,920
happening throughout the DLF
community or anywhere we can
11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,360
find.
Just go through and discuss and
12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,680
you know, see, see where we
differ or agree on and just kind
13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,160
of evaluate the player values in
the trades.
14
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:55,800
And, and also just discuss
trading in general and how how
15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,120
important that is to the
strategy of your team or how
16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,080
unimportant it is.
You know, for some people, if
17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,239
they want to kind of just sit
back a little and let let things
18
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:06,800
play out.
But the offseason, there's a lot
19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,960
of trading that it's an
important part of dynasty and
20
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,520
and it makes leagues a lot of
fun because when you have that
21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,600
kind of activity it it just, you
know, gets the league going and
22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:22,600
it's always exciting to see.
I I agree it's a a necessary
23
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,320
part.
It's to me, it's probably maybe,
24
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:28,120
if not the most fun part of
being in the dynasty league.
25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,640
And last week, you know, week
before we talked about tomorrow
26
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,640
and we said he was the Zay
flowers of dynasty owners.
27
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,960
I, I thought of one for myself
that I am the Michael Jackson of
28
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:48,040
dynasty owners because I don't
know when to stop tinkering with
29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,680
the team.
I, I just, I just love trading
30
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,560
so much that I just make a
little change here and a little
31
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,040
change here and a little change
there and then it's totally
32
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,480
something unrecognizable after,
you know, the 13th, 15th trade.
33
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,560
So that's I'm not Michael
Jackson, the dynasty owners.
34
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,640
That's it's actually funny to
say that because anyone that
35
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:17,800
knows you knows that, especially
in the league we discussed last
36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,760
week in our startup draft
review, anyone that here is
37
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,520
techno weave has eight first
round picks in 2027.
38
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,640
Obviously he's just, you know,
punting this year and then
39
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:30,960
waiting for future value.
But anyone that knows you, you
40
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,320
could end up with a completely
different situation midway
41
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,240
through the season because like
you mentioned, you love trading
42
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,160
and that's a great thing
trading, you know, that makes
43
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,400
dynasty leagues fun leagues that
are active, active in trading,
44
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,720
that also makes it just just
fun.
45
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,800
You know, it's just, it's, it's
a huge part of it.
46
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:52,320
And dynasty trades, they have so
much, it just matters.
47
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,560
It just matters more.
Like when you do a redraft
48
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,600
trade, obviously for that
specific season, it's going to
49
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,080
matter.
But a dynasty trade it, it,
50
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,840
there's so many implications as
far as your team currently and
51
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,800
long term.
And that's what makes these
52
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,920
trades fun because you're, you
know, and essentially GM of your
53
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:08,960
own team.
And yeah, it's, it's, it's
54
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,680
always fun.
It's always fun.
55
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,480
Yeah, no, you know, and of
course, as you mentioned,
56
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,800
offseason in season, whatever,
there's there's different types
57
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,960
of deals that you can do.
But one thing when I was
58
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,560
thinking about today's show,
it's a very basic concept which
59
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,520
some people will argue.
They'll still argue with you
60
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,880
about it though.
I'm, I'm going to say that
61
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:38,720
ranking sites and trade
calculators are necessary in the
62
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,960
world of dynasty so we can have
a common language regarding the
63
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,680
value of players.
I mean, I was talking with one
64
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,720
owner this week and we'll get to
this player later on and he's
65
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:58,400
telling me he values Marvin
Harrison Junior at a value of
66
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:03,480
two first future first round
picks in 2027.
67
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,520
And, and I, and I'm just like, I
can't, I can't wrap my head
68
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,880
around that because when I look
at different sites, I look at
69
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,640
different calculators.
I, I just think to myself, well,
70
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,680
what has he done?
It's not like he's, oh, he's
71
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,360
shown us he's this elite athlete
in, in the NFL.
72
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:29,520
But that is an owner's right to
have a distorted view of their
73
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,960
own assets.
But it makes trading very
74
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:39,480
difficult when the exchange rate
between what they think of value
75
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,560
is worth and what you think of
value is worth.
76
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,400
There's there's no commonality
when you hear about that.
77
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,520
I mean, do you feel like that
there needs to be some sort of
78
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,560
common acceptance or language
and we can't just walk around
79
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,920
and say, yes, Tucker Craft is
he's worth 5 first round picks.
80
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,440
I mean, I can do that, but
that's not like.
81
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,880
Am I doing it wrong if I have
that type of attitude?
82
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,240
Yeah, I mean, you're going to
have people who value their
83
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,680
players differently in any
league.
84
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,040
You're in redraft on it.
See, it doesn't really matter.
85
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,600
You're going to have that.
But I agree there's got to be
86
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,920
some kind of commonality to it
where trades can, you can go
87
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,360
into a trade kind of knowing
what the other owner would be
88
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,160
interested in.
And if you send a first round
89
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,240
pick for Marvin Harrison and
it's immediately rejected
90
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,880
because they value him at 2 plus
first round picks or whatever it
91
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,040
is, it's going to be hard to
find a middle ground in that
92
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,960
situation.
But essentially though, those
93
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,120
are things you really can't
control.
94
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:45,040
Everyone has their own values of
their players, but as a whole
95
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,440
dynasty community, we can see
the values of these players and
96
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,640
we know where we can go to see,
you know, how how you know how
97
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,280
many draft picks or players are
needed to add on to trade for a
98
00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:59,240
JSN or, you know, someone like
that.
99
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,840
Obviously when you're trading
for the elite assets, that's a
100
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:04,200
given.
I mean, I think it's pretty
101
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,560
common.
We all know what you're going to
102
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,960
have to give up.
But then when you have the more
103
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,960
of the second tier type
receivers and they're still
104
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,160
valued that high, it makes it
really difficult.
105
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,960
But again, like I said, it's
what it really comes down to is
106
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,720
the league, the individual,
everyone values their players
107
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,920
differently.
And yeah, some players have
108
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,960
really strong stances on certain
players and those are the ones
109
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,560
that are going to make it really
tough to to trade with.
110
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,320
Because when you have someone
who values Marvin Harrison at
111
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,200
two first round picks, that's
totally fine.
112
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,520
But the whole dynasty community
as a whole isn't going to see it
113
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,720
that way.
But The thing is, again, like I
114
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,400
said, it's their team and
they're going to focus on their
115
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,480
roster build.
And if that's what they think
116
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,560
they need in return, then it's,
you know, commonality is good,
117
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:49,720
but you're not always going to
have that.
118
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,120
Yeah, yeah, I, I think so.
I mean, and I guess it's it's
119
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,680
their team, their choice.
It's just like that person told
120
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,320
me in one year league last year,
you can't make my starting
121
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,240
lineup for me, my team, my
choice.
122
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,760
And I want to be like, no, your
team, my choice.
123
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,560
But another thing though,
another thing to the topic of
124
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,400
Marvin Harrison or anyone in in
that range, that's fluid too.
125
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,520
Like we could go to the middle
of the season and Harrison could
126
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,080
still, you know, be putting up
pedestrian numbers.
127
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,360
Now that evaluation for Marvin
Harrison is going to change.
128
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,880
It's just going to change.
Things change as games are
129
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,280
played right now in the
offseason, there's going to be
130
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,760
hype around Marvin Harrison
because we're we're going to
131
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,520
we're going to envision that
he's going to take a step up.
132
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,960
And right now that's all we have
is just we think he'll take a
133
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,520
step up.
Well, we don't we don't have
134
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,120
game film tape yet or right now.
We haven't seen him play in
135
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,360
2026, so the time to get a guy
like that, if he's not
136
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,560
attainable right now, would be
during the season if he had a
137
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,400
couple down weeks.
So you always have to look at it
138
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,320
that way.
And I mean, I guess this will
139
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,960
naturally kind of bring me into
a point we, we briefly covered
140
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,760
on our, our pre podcast chat.
And, and I'll ask you how you do
141
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,520
it or maybe it's a combination
of both.
142
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,240
Because I mean, I would say I
end up doing both of these, but
143
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,360
I do one and a lot more than I
do the other.
144
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,080
When I look for assets, am I
looking to trade for a specific
145
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:27,160
player or do I look at an owner
and see what they have and then
146
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,920
kind of decide it's like, you
know, are you going to go across
147
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,919
across an entire city for an
item or are you going to go to
148
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:37,919
your local store?
You might just pick what's at
149
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:40,679
your local store because it's
it's a little bit easier, It's
150
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,200
more convenient.
People that get back to me,
151
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:50,360
people that enjoy trading,
people that seem to have a
152
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,440
similar understanding of value.
I tend my tend to find myself
153
00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:01,440
locking into certain owners that
I know I can hopefully work a
154
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,880
deal out with and then just
picking from what they have that
155
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,440
is available.
Because truly, in the offseason,
156
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,840
you can make a positive or
negative narrative for any
157
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,760
player you want and you can say,
oh, he's going to turn it all
158
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,840
around.
It's the year 8 breakout.
159
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:25,280
I know it's going to happen.
You can say everything you've
160
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:30,440
seen is just a product of a
system in a situation and you
161
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,640
think that player is overvalued.
But when it comes to trading, do
162
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,720
you find yourself doing more of
one than the other?
163
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,160
You're going to kind of go to
the receptive audience or you're
164
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,360
willing to go into the danger
zone and you know you're going
165
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,520
to fight for what you think you
want.
166
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,280
Yeah, it's that, that's a way
good way to put it.
167
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,280
I, I honestly think it's
definitely, definitely a little
168
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,120
bit of both for sure.
I'm willing to go into the
169
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,040
danger zone.
I'm willing to go into the Shark
170
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,440
Tank and try to find deals
wherever you can.
171
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,440
And but obviously there's going
to be certain certain owners you
172
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,800
go, you go to for trades and
like you said, response time
173
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,400
might be bad.
There just might be no
174
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,520
communication as far as like why
they don't want this trade or no
175
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,320
counter offers.
So it makes it tough to, to put
176
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,640
together a trade.
I mean, I think it's still
177
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,800
important to try, but I think in
general, and I think this will
178
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,520
go for most people.
I mean, I'm not going to speak
179
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,240
for everyone, but I think most
people will trade with the
180
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,040
people that they've trade with
before or people they know are
181
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,720
responsive people that, that
have discussions and counter
182
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,400
offers and, and the back and
forth, which is, which is part
183
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,320
of trades.
You know, that's you got to have
184
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,400
that back and forth.
You got to have that, those
185
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,480
counter offers to, to at least
get to a starting point and then
186
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,440
get to possibly get to an
agreement and trade.
187
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,840
I think for me, I'm definitely
willing to send an offer to any
188
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:54,600
team, But I think when you have
a comfortable, you know, place
189
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,360
to go to for trades as far as
someone you know, will reply and
190
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,920
you know, we'll have a good
conversation about it.
191
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,840
I think that's where most people
will probably attend, will
192
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,240
probably tend to to go to when
they look for trades.
193
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,400
That's right.
I like, I like going to the
194
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,920
local corner store.
I'm not, I'm not going across
195
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,600
town.
I'm not going to the whole, not
196
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,960
going to the Whole Foods.
You know, it's 1/2 an hour away.
197
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,760
I'll just, I'll just go to the
local gas station and pick up
198
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,800
what I can, what I need at that
point.
199
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,280
Well, I don't know.
I don't know what gas station
200
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,160
you're going to go to, but I'm
not sure if many of them have 8
201
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,520
future first round picks.
That'd be a very interesting.
202
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:41,120
No, no, but coming back to,
well, I guess before we get to
203
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,480
Marvin Harris and I, I 'cause I,
I for whatever reason, I guess
204
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,800
he, he's, he's been a, a target
of mine this week and a
205
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,840
frustration of mine.
So when I didn't know what to
206
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,040
do, I did what any modern person
would do.
207
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,520
I turned to ChatGPT.
I said, all right, we're going
208
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,640
to take the collection of the
world's knowledge, the top AI
209
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,800
think tank here, and I'm going
to ask them not about Marvin
210
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,960
Harrison junior.
I was curious more about dynasty
211
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,680
and pick value, the whole idea.
And I know you and I, we both
212
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,480
listen to some of the same
podcast.
213
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,040
What's that dynasty domain?
I think they're called?
214
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,280
And they certainly have been
ones that talked about how after
215
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:34,080
about pick 1617 in the rookie
draft, the remaining first
216
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,800
rounders are an equivalent to a
typical draft class in in a
217
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,960
second round.
So once you hit about the 17
218
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:46,360
you're, you're looking at a
typical 2122 and so forth.
219
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:51,640
So I asked ChatGPT the same
question and it would take this
220
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,120
for what it's worth because
ChatGPT, you know, if you catch
221
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,520
them making an error, I don't
know if you've ever done that.
222
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,320
If chat GTT makes an error and
you say, hey, you were wrong,
223
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,240
they just say, Oh yeah, I'm
sorry about that.
224
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,720
They don't really take a lot of
ownership of the answer.
225
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,360
But I asked them about 27 versus
26 rookie picks and they said
226
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:19,520
no, that I am devaluing the 2026
rookie class by a lot.
227
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:27,040
And they think that a 27 first.
If we if we're looking at say
228
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:32,320
the 26 pick number six, the one
O 6, they said that that was
229
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:38,320
worth a 27 first and a second.
I don't know where they got that
230
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,080
data, but I don't know.
I don't know if you would tend
231
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,400
to agree with that or what what
you think about that fine from
232
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,840
ChatGPT.
I I don't know, I think they
233
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,760
just pick something out of the
hat and just read it to you.
234
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,120
I think that's what it sounds
like to me.
235
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,320
But no, honestly, one O 6 A one
O 6 this year for 2027, first
236
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,200
and second, I'd rather have the
272027 side.
237
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,080
But I mean, I guess without
knowing where that 2027 pick is
238
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,520
at, maybe that's where they're
coming from with that answer.
239
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,440
But I still don't think it's, I
still think I'd rather have the
240
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,760
future, future first because of
the just that we know how deep
241
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,880
the class is going to be at all
positions.
242
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,160
And that's why I think it's,
Yeah, I think, I think I'd
243
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,920
rather much rather have, you
know, the second on top of the
244
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,120
2027 first for sure.
Yeah.
245
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,920
And I and I think that part of
what you just said is where it
246
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,640
was coming from.
It said that the the one O 6 is
247
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,160
known, the future 1st is
unknown.
248
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I, yeah, yeah.
249
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,240
I can see that, you know, and I
can see how an actual dynasty
250
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,800
order will give you that answer
too, because they know the known
251
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,440
is the one O 6, the draft, the
NFL draft is a month away.
252
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,240
So they know you know what they
have right now in hand.
253
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,360
The future is always tough to
tell.
254
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,440
Obviously in hindsight, if that
first round pick 2027 ends up
255
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,280
being top three, there is no
debate which side won.
256
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,520
But again, you don't know that
right now.
257
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,720
You have to project.
Yeah, and, and I'm sure Chad TPT
258
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:13,760
isn't doing a lot of dynasty
rookie scouting that they're not
259
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,440
doing.
They're not watching a lot of
260
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:21,360
tape.
So before we get into Marvis and
261
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,840
Harrison Junior, there's one
other question I want to ask
262
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,280
you.
And I know we talked about
263
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,720
rankings, we talked about trade
calculators.
264
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,960
I I have this one question here.
And I just think it's important
265
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,000
because it's such an overarching
question before we get into the
266
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,040
specifics.
Can your team get ahead without
267
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,840
making trades?
I don't think so at all.
268
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:48,160
The chances of you hitting on
everyone that you pick and
269
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:55,480
avoiding injury, avoiding
players that bust, I mean, how
270
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,960
you going to get ahead when you
just hope that if you plant the
271
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,240
right seeds, you're going to
come and you're going to reap
272
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,400
this harvest.
And I guess I've never seen a
273
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:11,040
team get by without trading.
No, you don't have to be hyper
274
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,280
addicted to trading to get
ahead.
275
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,320
No, I'm not saying that, but for
some tree teams that are trade
276
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,760
adverse, I I would tend to think
you're, you're hurting yourself.
277
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,760
Yeah.
No, I, I, I went through there.
278
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,840
I think there is obviously 2
extremes to this.
279
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,040
Obviously trading all day
everyday and end up with a
280
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,160
different roster every two
weeks.
281
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,880
That's one extreme that you
don't want to be on and then the
282
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,960
other extreme is to not trade at
all, to stand pat, to decline
283
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,480
everything and just see what
happens.
284
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,400
Everything play like redraft.
I think that's all.
285
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,400
Obviously the extreme you don't
want to be on either.
286
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,520
I think when it comes to trades,
I think you do need to make
287
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,280
trades to build your roster, to
get ahead, to look to the future
288
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,200
two to three-year window to to
see those things, you know, play
289
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,040
out.
You can't.
290
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,040
I don't think you could just sit
back and absolutely do nothing
291
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,240
at all because in reality, you
can't win your league at the
292
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,320
draft anyway.
You could have one of the best
293
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,280
drafts you thought that anyone
has.
294
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,720
But like at the end of the day,
you still need to make those
295
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,839
moves to get yourself ahead even
more.
296
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,680
And it, and it doesn't mean just
make trades just to make trades.
297
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,880
You have to always be willing to
try to look, look for offers or,
298
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,240
or situations that can make your
roster better now and the next
299
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,520
couple years.
Those are the best teams.
300
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,400
The best dynasty teams are the
ones that are always looking,
301
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,200
not not looking far ahead.
I mean, we're not playing this
302
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,200
5-10 years.
I mean, that doesn't make any
303
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,880
sense, but you're always looking
for the next way to build value
304
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,840
to your roster.
Dynasty is all about value.
305
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:41,040
And if you want to want to sit
back and do nothing at all, you
306
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,800
may have a great roster and you
may contend, but all it takes is
307
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,360
a couple injuries and now you're
sitting in in a situation where
308
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:49,280
you could have built, you could
have got more on what you on top
309
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,520
of what you have already.
Now you're you're scrambling to
310
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,240
find anything.
So I would always entertain
311
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,000
someone's offer, always
entertain it, always look at it
312
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,080
and see, can this make my team
better?
313
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,000
Doesn't make sense.
If it doesn't, that's totally
314
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000
fine.
But always look at offers or
315
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,760
look at other people's rosters
and see what would make sense
316
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,200
for my team and what would make
sense for their team.
317
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:12,520
I mean, I know how that's how I
like to look at trades.
318
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,960
I always like to to look at what
would make sense for that team
319
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,000
because I'm not going to send an
offer that doesn't make sense
320
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,800
for them because that's
pointless, is wasting their time
321
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,160
and what would make sense for my
team.
322
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,000
Try to find that.
Try to find that.
323
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,200
But obviously if you have an
elite player, you're going to
324
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,480
want a ton in return.
But you want to look at the
325
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,960
rosters because too many people
just send trades out and they
326
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,560
don't look at their roster.
You know, you have to look at
327
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,800
rosters.
But yeah, to to your point, to
328
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,360
your question, I don't think you
can get ahead by not doing
329
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:43,600
anything at all.
I think you need to be active.
330
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,880
And at the end of the day, you
join the dynasty league, you're
331
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,240
going to want to be active.
You're not going to want to sit
332
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,440
back.
What's the point of that?
333
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:53,280
That's right.
Nobody's forcing you to be
334
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,760
there.
You you should you should be
335
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,520
enjoying what you spent your
money on.
336
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,440
Yeah.
And that means engaging in the
337
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,640
hobby.
And I will add here, what's the
338
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,640
other point?
I wrote here that I I like to
339
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,160
look at when you make a trade,
it feels like you can kind of
340
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,520
you can.
I don't know, you can grind out
341
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,080
some value.
But when you do do so many
342
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:25,480
trades, there is the downside of
sometimes it truly only takes
343
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:35,120
making one wrong move.
If you gain 3% value on, you
344
00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:38,920
know, you do 5 trades, OK, now
you're 15% ahead and you say,
345
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,400
cool, I just, I just got to do
this another 30 times and my
346
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,560
team's going to be 90% better.
But then you make one trade and
347
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,960
you take all of those profits
and you make one wrong move.
348
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,160
Things don't fall your way and
you lose, you lose, you know,
349
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,760
25% all of a sudden you're,
you're in a bigger hole than
350
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,600
when you started.
And so it's like a lot of
351
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:10,640
things, you know, the, I don't
know, just taking it, you know,
352
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,200
being excessive in life with a
lot of things, it doesn't
353
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,040
usually lead to a lot of good
results.
354
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,120
I was going to say another thing
about trading and in general,
355
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,680
you can go a whole season and
not make a trade and you're
356
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,640
fine.
But the whole point is you
357
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,680
should be actively looking.
You should be actively looking
358
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,120
how to make your roster better.
And if there's no trade to be
359
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:35,520
made at the time, of course,
totally fine.
360
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,800
You do what's best for your
roster.
361
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,600
So it doesn't mean it's not the
quantity of trades you make that
362
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,040
makes your team better.
It's, it's, it's, it's which
363
00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:46,400
type of quality deal you're
going to make or the deal you
364
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,840
don't make.
Sometimes a deal that you don't
365
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,440
make is actually the best deal
to make.
366
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,040
You know, So it's all just about
being active.
367
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,000
That's really what it comes out
to, just being active and, and
368
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,200
participating in and, and
viewing your league, seeing
369
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,760
what's going on.
You don't have to make 50
370
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,240
trades.
You can make one trade.
371
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,640
It's about being active and just
always look into how you can
372
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,760
make a roster better.
Absolutely.
373
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,440
Well, here's a quick exercise.
We've finally gotten to the
374
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:19,160
Marvin Harrison junior portion
of the show, and I'm going to
375
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,720
compare him to a guy that we
compared him to a week or two
376
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,760
ago.
Roma Doonese.
377
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,240
You got 2 year, three players,
two guys, 1 was drafted.
378
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,400
What was it first?
The other one was drafted 4th.
379
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:36,640
They're both drafted very high
in their respective draft and
380
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:43,080
according to keep trade cut.
That's just one one database,
381
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,480
but it's the one I'm going to
use for this comparison.
382
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,680
They say that Marvin Harrison
junior, when it comes to a
383
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,160
startup pick, is worth about the
one of the five O 5 or five O 6,
384
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,040
so middle of the fifth round.
Roma Dunze on the other hand, is
385
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:04,200
ranked an entire round ahead of
him the the four O 6.
386
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,600
At that price, who would you
rather have?
387
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,440
Would you rather have Roma
Doonese in the 4th or would you
388
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,720
rather have Marvin Harrison
Junior in the 5th?
389
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,400
Yeah, I mean, I'm taking Marvin
Harrison Junior in the 5th.
390
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,960
I I definitely am.
I think they're very similar
391
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,360
right now.
And you know how last year
392
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:24,960
obviously was a let down for
both of them.
393
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,920
But I think when when you look
at Marvin Harrison Junior and
394
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,440
his opportunity this year, I
think of the two players,
395
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,080
Harrison has the best
opportunity to jump really high
396
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,000
in these rankings.
I really do.
397
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,200
We talked about in our wide
receiver rankings how high we
398
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,720
are on him and how we think he
can.
399
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,480
He could be one of those guys
that really elevate his game
400
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,440
this year.
I I think of Rome, I do like a
401
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,480
dude, I really do.
I just think, man, I look at
402
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,120
that offense and I know they
love to run the ball.
403
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,960
They got, they have Colston
Loveland, they have Luther
404
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,320
Burden.
There's only so much that can go
405
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,480
around.
Someone's going to hit.
406
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,800
You would think it you would
hope it'd be a Doons day.
407
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,240
I think he's I, I believe he's
still a better overall receiver
408
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,600
than Burden.
But we got to see that.
409
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,000
We have to see that first, you
know, to really make that
410
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,640
determination because both of
them, you know, different
411
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,200
trajectories last year.
This is a big year for a Doons
412
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,680
day.
But yeah, I would definitely, I
413
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,000
I would prefer Harrison at that
draft value over a Doons day.
414
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,280
Excellent.
Excellent.
415
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,400
Yeah, No, I would take, I'd take
Marvin Harrison.
416
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:31,840
They're at the same same as you.
There's a lot of good players
417
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,960
available in the fourth round.
There's still a lot of good
418
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,800
players available in the fifth
round.
419
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:43,560
But when Burden is also
available in the fifth round and
420
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,720
people are feeling, you know, a
greater level of hype about him,
421
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:53,160
myself included.
And Rome roams a whole round
422
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,920
earlier.
I'd rather just spend that pic
423
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,000
elsewhere.
And they have an equal
424
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,200
opportunity.
I mean, I guess you can say O
425
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,360
Dune's a situation is better,
right?
426
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,680
You got, you know, all the
sudden we're looking at Jacoby
427
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,320
Brissette with these rose
colored glasses on because he
428
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,520
did really well in junk time
last year.
429
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,120
If Jacoby Brissette was a
quality NFL starter, he kind of
430
00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:21,080
probably wouldn't have had the
journeyman career he's had.
431
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:27,040
And so, but to answer this
question, I'm also going to go
432
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,560
with Marvin Harrison Junior.
So moving on, it's a topic of
433
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:32,720
the show.
It's trades.
434
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:40,040
And we, we plucked a few trades
from the DLF message boards and
435
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,760
some from real life in our own
league.
436
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,280
So I'll let you start out Weapon
X.
437
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,600
Which trade do you want to bring
to the table?
438
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,160
And we'll talk it out.
OK, so I I found.
439
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,520
A12 team super flex start 10.
That's similar to most leagues
440
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,600
that you see now.
So the trade here is the dynasty
441
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:06,160
owner is giving up a Marin
Hampton, Herbert Ward, QJ
442
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,760
Quinton Johnson and you know, I
have to have this guy to trade.
443
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,040
You know, we have to.
We're big fans of this player,
444
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,240
RJ Harvey, top player of all
time.
445
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,320
So that that that is the trade
for his side.
446
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:22,280
So Hampton, Herbert, Ward, QJ,
all time great RJ Harvey and he
447
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:27,280
would get in return he gets
Bijan, Jayden, Daniels, Stafford
448
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,960
and a 2027 third.
I think that's got a lot there.
449
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,040
What do you think?
All right.
450
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:40,200
Well, you speak faster than I
can write, so I got Hampton, I
451
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:45,240
got Hampton Herbert and I heard
the all time great RJ Harvey was
452
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:50,760
there and QJ, QJ and Cam Ward.
All right, QJ and.
453
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,880
Cam Ward OK, yeah, so this would
be.
454
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,280
Two quarterbacks on each.
Side on this.
455
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,400
Trade all right.
And then I got.
456
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,720
Bijon and Daniels on the other
side.
457
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,160
Bijon Daniels.
Stafford and then a 2027 third.
458
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,680
20 all right.
So well, when I look and this is
459
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,560
a super flex 2 PR league, just
like the the one we're in 12
460
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,800
teams start 10 players.
All right, well, first thing I
461
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,920
do with a trade like this is I
cross out the third.
462
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,520
I don't care about that.
That isn't that shouldn't be
463
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,760
swaying your decision making.
And then I look and I say, oh,
464
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,880
OK, well, we got Hampton for
Bijon.
465
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,800
And so we assume the Bijon owner
is saying I'm going to tear down
466
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,520
to Hampton and I'm going to get
these additional assets, which I
467
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,960
think is a pretty smart move.
When you have elite assets,
468
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:50,720
there's only so much room for a
player who's ranked 3rd overall
469
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,520
to go up in value.
How much more do you want them
470
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,120
to go up?
They're going to go up the other
471
00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:58,880
two spots if they're ranked
number one at their position
472
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,400
like Bijan is it?
Is he truly going to be that
473
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,720
much more productive than Omari
and Hampton?
474
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,400
I mean, granted, Bijan is
displayed elite production year
475
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,520
in and year out.
So I don't know.
476
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,320
I, I tend to like if I were to
have an elite asset, I do tend
477
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,880
to like the idea of tearing down
and getting some additional
478
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,800
players that have an opportunity
to gain value.
479
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,760
But so we got basically Bijon
for Hampton.
480
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,360
This is how you see a lot of
folks do it on the message
481
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:33,440
boards.
Well, Bijon is better than
482
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,600
Hampton.
We know that.
483
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,160
And then we look at it here.
We're going to go Herbert, who's
484
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,240
been on the rise for Daniels.
That's a that's a tough one.
485
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,960
Daniels looked really good a
couple of years ago, but then he
486
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,840
had an injury plague season.
So people, what did I I have him
487
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,960
in one league and somebody said,
oh, he's he's made a glass now.
488
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,920
That seems like a a bit of an
exaggeration.
489
00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:03,040
Herbert or Daniels?
I mean, the Herbert situation,
490
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,080
you got Mike McDaniel, that's
pretty good.
491
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,720
And you got Daniels hoping he's
going to return to form.
492
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,720
I'm going to, I'm going to put
them at this point equal.
493
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:16,120
I'm OK with either or the
ceiling of Daniels, but the kind
494
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:19,040
of that solid foundational piece
in Herbert.
495
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,600
So I'm going to cross those guys
out.
496
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:27,400
Then you got Stafford or Ward.
Well, that's a, that's really a
497
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,840
question of are you looking to
compete this year or do you have
498
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:37,920
some, some runway?
And I mean, so that's a that's a
499
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,560
tough one.
I don't really know if we can
500
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,480
look at that.
I mean, we can only assume Cam
501
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,560
Ward is going to get better.
He didn't totally flop his first
502
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,120
year.
He didn't get in trouble
503
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,800
legally, he didn't have a lot of
off the field problems.
504
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,680
So there's nothing that we're
complaining about with Cam Ward
505
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,160
other than, oh, he wasn't a
superstar when he had like no
506
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,240
one to throw to.
Like that to me just doesn't
507
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,400
seem like a very fair assessment
on Cam Ward.
508
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:13,800
So then we're looking at a free
All pro RJ Harvey and a free QJ.
509
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,040
Yeah, those are those are assets
and I'll ask you about them
510
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,880
specifically, RJ Harvey and
Quinton Johnson.
511
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,080
Are those really just kind of
they're not roster cloggers at
512
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,160
this point?
No way.
513
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,080
But are they fool's gold?
Are these players that on paper
514
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,000
have value but in reality?
Yeah, yeah.
515
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,640
How good do?
You feel like nobody's basing
516
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,040
their game plan around having
Quinton Johnson.
517
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,520
Yeah, I agree with that, I
think.
518
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,680
I think those two assets at the
end of the trade there, QJ and
519
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:55,160
Harvey, you're not going into
the seasons hoping and expecting
520
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,680
that they're a core part of your
roster, so they're adders to
521
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,040
this trade.
I don't know.
522
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,040
I mean, I don't know, man, like
RJ Harvey with with with Dobbins
523
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,480
back it, it's it really
diminishes his potential to to
524
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,600
do a ton on the ground.
We know that.
525
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,600
We saw when Dobbins was healthy
last year, there was no question
526
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,840
who the go to back was.
There was no question
527
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,640
whatsoever.
And will that situation play out
528
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:18,760
again?
I mean, I don't see why I
529
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,560
wouldn't.
They're they're a contending
530
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,560
team.
No, Dobbins is one of the most
531
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,960
efficient running backs in the
NFL.
532
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,280
As long as he stays healthy,
he's going to get to work.
533
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,040
So for this specific season, it
makes it it makes it tough to be
534
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,600
super excited to have Harvey in
your starting lineup.
535
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,880
It does, but we'll see what
happens as the season goes on.
536
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,240
But yeah, QJ and Harvey, I would
like to have them on my roster
537
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,000
100%.
I think they're good players to
538
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,040
have, but they're not players
are going to build your roster
539
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,480
around right now.
Yeah, well.
540
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,720
Looking at this, I, I think I
would take the Hampton side
541
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,640
because yeah, you're tearing
down from Dijon.
542
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,600
You're, you're not getting a guy
in Herbert that has any injury
543
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,360
flags.
Plus you're getting a couple of
544
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,880
question marks again.
RJ Harvey year 2, there's a
545
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,400
chance he improves.
You know, why wouldn't he
546
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,760
improve?
He's going to have another year
547
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,720
in the NFLQJ.
He's a bench player.
548
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,840
We all need bench players.
And then he got Cam Ward.
549
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,160
Matthew Stafford cannot play
forever.
550
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,480
So I tend to think I would take
the Hampson side.
551
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,600
Which side did you end up
picking?
552
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,680
I actually.
I actually would have taking the
553
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,000
Bijan side and the reason I say
that is because if you're a
554
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,720
Bijan Robinson owner, you got to
get blown away for an offer.
555
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,560
Really do.
I don't know if this is a blow
556
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,800
away type of offer.
I don't know how you feel about
557
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,920
it because we're adding in
Jayden Daniels in the trade.
558
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,760
If Jayden Daniels was maybe a
more of a second 13 tier
559
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,720
quarterback, say Jayden Daniels
in this trade was golf, I'd feel
560
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,160
much better.
I'd feel much better about
561
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,240
making the deal for Hampton
Herbert Award, but I don't know.
562
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,480
I I think I would just hold
Bijan in this because I think
563
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,480
you can, from the offers I've
seen people get for Bijan
564
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,600
Robinson just by himself.
I think you can get more.
565
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,640
I really do.
And it's not because Hampton
566
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,000
isn't someone that can emerge
and be the type of, I mean, he's
567
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,800
be he's valued as a top three to
four dynasty running back right
568
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:14,840
now.
Like you said, it's, there's
569
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:19,400
always so far he can go.
But Bee John Robinson has done
570
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,640
it.
He's been doing it.
571
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,520
We need to see Hamptons do it
first to, to say they're in the
572
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:25,600
same tier.
You know what I mean?
573
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,880
So I, I, I don't think it's, I
don't think you'd be crazy to
574
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,360
take the offer, but I, I would
still feel more comfortable
575
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,000
keeping Bee John and looking for
something else.
576
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,520
Oh, I I.
Absolutely agree.
577
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,240
Yeah, I know there's certainly
better offers out there and
578
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,160
fillers like RJ Harvey and
Quinton Johnson, they, they
579
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:50,320
confuse the value of the trade.
And you know, what have you done
580
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,680
for me lately?
Jane Daniels, well, he was
581
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,200
injured last year.
So we feel that's kind of baked
582
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,240
into the price that, you know,
OK, you had an injury last year.
583
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,040
So now we're going to feel that
you're injury prone.
584
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,320
Whether that's fair or not, who
knows.
585
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,040
But yeah, no, I, I certainly
think you're right.
586
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,240
You probably could get a
potentially a better deal.
587
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,240
But if I had to pick, pick
between these two, I'll, I'll,
588
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,000
I'll take, I'll take the
additional assets and a
589
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,240
quarterback that's not going to
retire or any.
590
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,880
OK, Yeah.
And and to go back to the
591
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,760
original post, the poster is the
one who wants Bizon Robinson.
592
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,760
It says here, the comments says
been trying to get Bizon for a
593
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,520
while now.
This is the closest I've been.
594
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,360
So in their in their aspect of
it, they're trying to get Bizon.
595
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,480
So if that trade can get
accepted for them, I'd say go
596
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,200
for it because that's the side
I'd rather have you.
597
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:50,840
Know OK well I guess that's what
makes it interesting and you
598
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:57,720
can't work out a trade if people
don't respond I I guess I no
599
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,880
matter what trades people send
me unless they're just absolute
600
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,520
trash, I always like to send the
person back kind of what I would
601
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,520
want for that asset even if it's
way underpriced.
602
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,679
Well, OK, this is what I would
take because you never know
603
00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:17,760
where you might end up.
But yeah, I guess not everybody
604
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,560
does it the same way.
Another trade here, I guess this
605
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,639
one is from our league.
It happened.
606
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,159
It happened this week.
There was some commentary about
607
00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:38,440
it and it was basically it was
the rookie pick 15, the 5th pick
608
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:45,840
in the rookie draft, Arande
Gadsen, Jalen Noel, the 3/8 and
609
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,000
the 312 for a 2027 first and
Blake Cora.
610
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,840
And I'll be honest, this is a
trade I did.
611
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:01,600
I, I received the 1st and Blake
Corum.
612
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,720
But so clearly I would take that
side.
613
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,280
But I, I can see the value
clearly the trade calculators
614
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,720
liked it.
They they liked it on the other
615
00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:16,920
side a whole lot more, which I'm
willing to take a hit on trades
616
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,480
like this because once again,
what do I do when I go up to the
617
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,320
trade?
Well, I cross out those third
618
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,200
round picks, right?
We're not going to worry about
619
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,000
those.
So it's really Gadsen Knoll in
620
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,800
the 15 for a first and core the
15.
621
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,040
Now that's not the 18, it's not
the 16.
622
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:42,040
It's in a superflex that's most
likely going to be one of the
623
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:46,840
top three wide receivers, you
know, or if something falls to
624
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,880
you, something even better.
So that's not a chump change
625
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:56,040
pick for an unknown 27.
First, that's fueled off a hype
626
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,080
Gadsen, you know, he he looked
good last year.
627
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,440
We saw what Mike McDaniels could
do even with pedestrian guys
628
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,280
like a an old Darren Waller or
Jonnu Smith.
629
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:14,600
If Mike McDaniels, if they if
somehow Gadsen doesn't get, you
630
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:19,360
know, sniped by a rookie,
there's potential for some real
631
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,000
blow up games this year.
And Jalen Knoll, he was a third
632
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,920
round pick with Christian Kirk
out of town.
633
00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:30,360
You know, he wasn't just like,
you know, a 6th 7th round pick
634
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:36,120
that somehow made the roster.
But I like the first and I also
635
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,880
like the I needed a running
back.
636
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,760
So some of that was a trade for
need.
637
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,320
And and Blake Corum, you know,
you talked about him.
638
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,400
He's he's one of the most high
value handcuffs in the league.
639
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,200
Yeah, no doubt about it.
He's.
640
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,240
A high value handcuff.
He also has individual solo
641
00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:54,880
value as well.
We've seen that already,
642
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,040
especially last season.
Yeah, I mean, this type of
643
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:02,240
trade, I personally don't think
there was like a slam dunk
644
00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:04,480
winner either way.
I, I mean, I just don't see it
645
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,400
that way.
I think it made sense for both
646
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,280
your rosters, like I said saying
earlier, certain times you go
647
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,440
into trade seeing what makes
sense for both this type of
648
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,400
trade where there's no elite
asset in it.
649
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,520
It it just just makes sense to
look at the trade and see how
650
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,880
does this benefit this roster
and that roster.
651
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,480
I think it benefits Amaru.
He now is back-to-back picks in
652
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,480
the first round this year in the
2026 rookie draft.
653
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,160
He can really develop a good
strategy there.
654
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,880
And also you you got another
first round pick to continue to
655
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,920
build that future value.
And then you get a guy that you
656
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,640
like and Blake Quorum.
This is not a this is not a win
657
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,240
or loss type of trade in my
opinion.
658
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:44,320
I think it it benefits both
teams for the strategy that
659
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,920
they're the building, like what
your strategy you're building or
660
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,560
what strategy that Mario is
building.
661
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:54,520
It was a Mario Star Flowers very
solid floor type of deal.
662
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:57,960
I I think.
You're right.
663
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,080
I think you're right.
Yeah.
664
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,280
I I didn't think it was going to
get as much traction in the
665
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,400
league chat, but that's
interesting.
666
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,200
You know, I guess some people
see it differently.
667
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,520
Gives gives folks something to
talk about.
668
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:11,800
Well, we talked about it, all
right.
669
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,320
You and I had to talk a
conversation about it.
670
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,880
Trades are not about how many of
this that you got or how what is
671
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,520
the list of players or what is
the list of picks you got.
672
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,600
I got eight players and five
picks.
673
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,560
This team got 3.
So obviously the the the team
674
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,640
that got 13 picks and players
wins.
675
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,920
No, each individual player has a
value.
676
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,920
Each individual pick has a value
to 2027 thirds.
677
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,320
Like you said, you just you
don't, you can cross them out
678
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,280
there.
They're not different makers in
679
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,880
the trade.
So it's about the quality of the
680
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,120
players you're getting and what
is going to make your roster
681
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,000
better.
It makes both rosters better.
682
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,600
What you guys got.
That's how I feel about it.
683
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,240
I don't think it was AI.
Don't think it was a trade that
684
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,000
you look at the trade and go,
whoa, this, this was a terrible
685
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,440
offer.
Not it was a good trade for both
686
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:57,400
teams.
I really think it was.
687
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,840
ChatGPT you.
Didn't like it?
688
00:39:01,240 --> 00:39:03,800
Yeah, chat.
Chat, chat beats, like I said,
689
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,400
they're picking things out of
hats.
690
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,480
They got to start, they got to
develop that system a little
691
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:08,920
better.
You got to, I mean, we're in
692
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,680
2026.
You don't have to do the pick a
693
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,000
name of a hat thing anymore.
There's other ways to, to
694
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,960
evaluate things.
Oh, of course.
695
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:17,880
Of course.
So what do you got for our our
696
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,120
next trade?
All right, this.
697
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,200
One I figured since we've been
talking about Marvel lot, I I
698
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:24,760
mean, we're going to have to
have him in a trade.
699
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:29,600
We have to do it.
Oh, no, the one the one I have
700
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,000
here, it's a very simple trade.
There's not a lot of not a lot
701
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:38,040
of players involved in this one.
It's CD lamb for Marv one O 6
702
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,160
and 210.
That's it.
703
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:40,720
That's that's the offer right
there.
704
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,400
I like that trade.
It's very simple, but it's also,
705
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,120
you know, one to have a good
conversation about.
706
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,960
So CD Lamb for Marvin Harrison,
the one O 6 and the two 10210.
707
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,000
So both picks are.
This year's draft is not no
708
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,840
future First, second, nothing.
I can tell you.
709
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,600
That the, I would imagine the
trade calculator would like the
710
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,760
Lamb side.
I I've never been a big CD Lamb
711
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:11,840
owner or or fan.
I think in like the, you know,
712
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,640
last 12 or so years I've been
playing a lot of dynasty
713
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,680
football.
I've had CD Lamb on like one
714
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,560
team and I had them for about 5
weeks and that was it.
715
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,480
So he's he's he's a guy.
I mean, I know he's up in that
716
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:31,240
elite tier of wide receiver.
He's tied to Dak Prescott.
717
00:40:31,240 --> 00:40:36,160
They like to pass a lot.
But now all of a sudden he's not
718
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:41,080
the only show in town anymore.
It's just a question of is the
719
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,560
potential of Marvin Harrison
Junior 'cause that's all it is
720
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,120
right now.
There is no production.
721
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,880
It's just potential.
And then you got a a middling
722
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,440
pick in the one O 6.
Like, OK, you're not going to
723
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,880
mainly get your, if it's super
flex, you're not going to
724
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,640
probably get the three wide
receivers.
725
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,160
You might get Kenyan Siddique,
you might get another wide
726
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,520
receiver that falls to a good
situation or a running back that
727
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:10,000
falls to a good situation.
Yeah.
728
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:16,680
I this is tough, I would tend to
think with echoes back to what
729
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,080
we talked about in the Bijan
trade.
730
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,520
I think you could get something
better for CD Lamb than this.
731
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,760
And the 210 is close enough to
1/3.
732
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:32,000
I'm crossing that out.
So it's 22 assets for one and
733
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,600
it's a guy that's done nothing
for an all pro and a pick and a
734
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,360
down class.
I think you can do better.
735
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,840
I'm with.
You right there the the person
736
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,200
who posted here was asking they
have lamb on their team.
737
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:50,400
They're asking would you move
Lamb for this package of picks
738
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:51,840
and and Marvin Harrison.
I agree.
739
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,520
I would not do it.
I think you're holding lamb
740
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,480
there.
Absolutely Like we we we like
741
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,720
Marvin Harrison we talked about
already, but this is CD Lamb.
742
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,040
He just he's just too he's just
too productive to trade him for
743
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,880
this package.
I think you can get more for him
744
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,840
for sure, but it's definitely
interesting trade and I'm sure
745
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,480
some people might be a little
torn with this one, but my
746
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,440
opinion, yeah, I think you can
get for more for CD lamp.
747
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,120
I don't think you move them for
that.
748
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,120
All right, all.
Right, well, here's a
749
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:26,120
interesting one.
I commented to this individual
750
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,520
on the chat boards with my
opinion.
751
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:32,040
I'll be sharing here.
This is, you know, superflex 12
752
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,320
team.
PPR league was actually a .5
753
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:39,080
tight end premium, but that has
no bearing on this specific
754
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:45,680
trade and what it was.
One team had Drake May and the
755
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:52,200
one O 9 in the 26 draft and I
guess they were offered Brock
756
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:58,840
Purdy and the one O 1.
So basically Purdy and Love for
757
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:04,720
Drake May and the one O 9.
I think it helped a lot when I
758
00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:07,520
saw this trade going.
Hey, well, I, I just did a start
759
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,520
up.
I the the difference between
760
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:15,040
Jeremiah Love and Drake May.
That was maybe 10 picks in the
761
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,280
first round.
And and I don't anticipate that
762
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,600
other mock drafts or not mock
drafts, other start up drafts
763
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,040
are going to be a whole lot
different, at least at this
764
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,480
point.
So for a span of 10 picks.
765
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,800
You're you're picking up.
A guy like Brock Purdy for the
766
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:37,600
one O 9 and Brock Purdy, we we
already talked about him.
767
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,360
He's a guy that's liable to
throw for 4000 yards, 30
768
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:44,360
touchdowns.
I'm not sure there's going to be
769
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,960
a a whole world of difference at
least this year.
770
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,640
You know, there's a lot of hype
about Drake May, but he's not
771
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,080
prime Pat Mahomes.
We didn't see that.
772
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,160
We didn't see him throw for 50
touchdowns as a rookie.
773
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,680
I, I like the Purdy side a lot
more.
774
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,720
I, I, I don't think you're good.
Yes, you may lose out on some of
775
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:13,480
those rushing QBRS.
You got an elite, you know,
776
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,520
dynasty quarterback for the
future, but you also have a guy
777
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,600
that's considered a generational
talent, the number one running
778
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,160
back in this class.
And when they talk about 2027,
779
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,960
I've seen him projected as he
would also be the number one
780
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:33,480
running back in both classes.
So Jeremiah Love isn't just like
781
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:37,160
a good running back.
He's a very good running back.
782
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,160
That's why he's going in the
first round.
783
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,120
I would take Purdy and the one O
1.
784
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,400
How about you?
Oh yeah, I'm with that.
785
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,600
For sure, Purdy and the one O 1,
which would be Jeremiah Love.
786
00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:50,320
Well, you like you said, May and
Love.
787
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,120
I mean, we already saw in our
draft recently they're both
788
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,680
going first round.
May is going obviously higher,
789
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,360
but we're talking about first
round picks here.
790
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,160
We're not talking about a first
round pick and a fifth round
791
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:02,440
pick.
These are two first round
792
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:06,240
dynasty startup draft picks,
elite prospects, elite players
793
00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:09,000
that have on your team.
So so you have that.
794
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:10,960
The one O 9 doesn't get me
there.
795
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,360
It's not even close.
The one O 9, you look at the
796
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,760
draft here.
I mean, it could be Jonah
797
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,160
Coleman, Denzel Boston, Jadarian
price.
798
00:45:19,240 --> 00:45:22,600
You're looking at that tier.
You know, KC conception, that's
799
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,640
the tier you're looking at is.
So now you're looking at it that
800
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,840
way.
Say you draft, say you draft
801
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:30,320
Jonah Coleman, you get a running
back May Jonah Coleman for Purdy
802
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:31,520
and love.
It's Purdy and love.
803
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:32,640
It's it.
It's not close.
804
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,920
I think you're going Purdy.
Love Purdy is a very, very good
805
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:40,360
dynasty asset and you can get
him at a good value right now in
806
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:41,880
drafts.
And I think fourth round,
807
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:43,960
usually third, fourth round,
that's a really good value.
808
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,240
He's a he's a solid quarterback.
And Jeremiah Love, like you
809
00:45:47,240 --> 00:45:50,800
said, he's this is not just a a
typical prospect coming in the
810
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,680
NFL.
This is an elite level top five
811
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,320
potential draft pick and there's
not many of those that had come
812
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,200
into the NFL.
The ones that have, let's be
813
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,080
real, the ones that have for the
majority of time recently,
814
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,600
they've they've hit, you know,
let's look back and let's look
815
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,800
back, look back in time.
Todd Gurley, you know, I don't
816
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,480
know exactly.
Do you remember what pick he was
817
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,840
in the draft?
I know it was pretty high, the
818
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,560
NFL draft.
I have to look that I have.
819
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,280
To look that one up, but Todd
Gurley was one of those players
820
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,680
people were talking about before
he came out, similar to Nick
821
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:20,440
Chubb.
Yep, Yep.
822
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,400
And these guys.
They were saying, oh.
823
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,560
Get Nick Chubb next year.
Yeah, and and and.
824
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,560
Nick Chubb.
Todd Gurley, Bijan Robinson,
825
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,120
we're talking to Christian
McCaffrey, all these guys that
826
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,320
were, they were hyped up in
college, they were talking about
827
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,440
him for the year even before
they came into the league.
828
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,560
They hit, you know, and Jeremiah
Love, obviously we all, we want
829
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,480
players to stay healthy.
We really hope they can stay
830
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,840
healthy because that's the key,
especially with running backs in
831
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,800
any position.
If he can stay healthy, I mean,
832
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,400
it's going to be hard for him
not not to be a guy you want on
833
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,760
your team.
I mean, obviously if he lands
834
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,200
with a A-Team, that's just
absolute disaster.
835
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,000
It could be tough for him.
But Jeremiah Love right now, I
836
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,240
mean, the way he's getting
drafted, I mean that that I
837
00:47:01,240 --> 00:47:02,520
think it's pretty love.
You got to go.
838
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:06,280
Pretty love with that one.
Yeah, and it's.
839
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:11,120
As much as it hates to pain me
to, to say this, this might be a
840
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,880
trade that's better worked out.
You got to wait.
841
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,960
You got to be a little bit more
patient because right now we
842
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,880
don't know of any of the
surprise picks that are going to
843
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:28,000
happen Like I I've seen what's
his name Price to Darian price
844
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,080
going to Minnesota in the second
round.
845
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:35,400
Well, all of a sudden you, you
put him in the second round or
846
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,480
Jonah Coleman or whoever you
want to throw into a spot like
847
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,160
that where they look like
they're primed to be the next
848
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:47,720
starter and they jump up ahead
of the One O 9 and some of those
849
00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:53,640
players we have projected fall.
So it will it will mask the
850
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,080
value of this pick or I guess
you could say maybe not mask it.
851
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:02,680
Maybe it maybe it improves it.
I just don't think right now we
852
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,880
can imagine accurately a good
value for the One O 9.
853
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:11,320
We just can't do it.
So if.
854
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,160
Somebody thinks they can down
tier to party and get the one O
855
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:18,160
1.
As I told this owner, I said do
856
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,000
it before your league mate comes
to their senses.
857
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,360
Do it, do it.
You know, I I told them to just
858
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,520
react, do what feels good, do it
right now.
859
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:35,080
So I I think I'm glad to see
we're on the on the same same
860
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,800
wavelength with that trade.
So I don't know what how much
861
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:43,040
time we got left here.
Let's see, we got about, we got
862
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,880
time for one more trade.
Yeah, let's say we've got time
863
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,320
for one more.
Each and I have a good one.
864
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:51,280
I think this one, this one is, I
mean, it's it has Jeremiah Love
865
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,440
in it as well.
But this is a really, really
866
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:54,520
interesting one.
I think.
867
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,440
Yeah, this is probably one of
the more difficult ones we've
868
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,240
done today as far as you know,
which one you feel most
869
00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:01,960
comfortable with.
This is a really, really good
870
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,320
offer.
So the player, the team, it's a
871
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:10,240
12 team superflex PPR start 10.
So the team would receive Genti
872
00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:13,840
and Lad Lad Mcconkey.
He would give up.
873
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,160
He would give up Jeremiah Love
and Luther Burden.
874
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,280
It's a tough one, man, very
tough one.
875
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:25,680
So janty.
And lad for love and burden,
876
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,040
yes, correct.
Oh.
877
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,520
Yeah, No, I thought it was going
to be harder than that.
878
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,240
Yeah.
You got to give me janty and
879
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:39,000
layout here.
I got I You have two unknowns.
880
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:43,480
We're hoping.
We're hoping Burden steps into
881
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,360
that Almond Ross St.
Brown role.
882
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,760
That Burden could get hurt,
whatever.
883
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:53,800
Caleb Williams could get hurt.
Granted, anybody can get hurt,
884
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:58,400
but that's a lot to assume that
he's all the sudden going to
885
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:05,840
elevate himself to the value at
he would have to elevate himself
886
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,560
to the value of Lad Mcconkey,
who had a historic rookie year,
887
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:15,280
a down year last year, But he
he's just such a solid asset to
888
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,680
own.
When I think of solid assets, I
889
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:22,000
always think in my head, Jeremy
Macklin, Jeremy Macklin, he was
890
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,320
just one of those guys.
He was a solid asset year in and
891
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:30,920
year out to have on your team.
And Ladd Mcconkey kind of feels
892
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,000
the same way.
It's not about their play style.
893
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:39,520
It's more about their value.
And Aston Janty, he was last
894
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,680
year's Jeremiah Love.
He was the oh, I'll give you a
895
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,120
I'll give you a four first round
picks.
896
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:52,400
He is he's a start up number one
guy and he lands on the Raiders
897
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:57,040
and we talked about this last
week with Amaru.
898
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:01,840
There's a lot of high hopes for
Jeremiah Love this year and
899
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:06,200
you're gonna you put him on the
Titans like he's he can only
900
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,600
he's one guy.
I mean, what are we expecting
901
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,760
him to do?
You know, just just totally turn
902
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:17,400
the Titans around and he rushes
for 1600 yards and 15 touchdowns
903
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:21,920
and catches 80 passes for
another 10 touchdowns.
904
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:27,680
I mean, come on, it's one guy I
I take, I take the Janty side
905
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:32,320
here and I go with, hey, things
are going to get better for
906
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,440
Ashton Janty.
You're going to get a better
907
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:38,520
quarterback.
The GM, he's on the hot seat.
908
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,600
They got to turn things around.
They got to justify all of this.
909
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:47,480
Get a new, new coach in there.
Things are looking better in Las
910
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:53,560
Vegas and Love is probably going
to go to a crappy situation and
911
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,880
burden.
Yeah, you know, he, he's got a a
912
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:01,240
big mountain to climb to, to get
to where lad already is.
913
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:03,720
Yeah, yeah.
I mean.
914
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:08,880
I look at it like this, this
type of trade can look a lot
915
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,960
different when we're talking
about it start of 2027, Let's
916
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:17,040
just say Jeremiah Love does pop
off and and have a big year and
917
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,000
Ashton Dante has a solid year.
You know, just another solid
918
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:24,480
year, maybe like a top 10 to 12
now.
919
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,440
I mean, you flip this trade
around, say Burden, Lad, both do
920
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,280
solid again this year.
Lad has another decent season
921
00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:34,200
and Burden does as well.
Now you're looking at the trade
922
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,840
and Jeremiah Love is the
cornerstone of the trade as he
923
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,760
is probably now in this trade.
I think that's what people are
924
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:45,280
viewing the most in this trade.
So now Jeremiah Love his value
925
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,760
if he has, if Jeremiah Love, all
he has to do I think is have
926
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:53,280
maybe a top five to seven season
and then he'll firmly be planted
927
00:52:53,720 --> 00:52:56,600
above Gentie next year if Gentie
doesn't break out.
928
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:01,160
So right now though currently
this moment in time, because
929
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,680
it's really hard to project all
those things, I would go with
930
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,640
the Gentie and lad because I do,
I do favor lads and burden right
931
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,240
now.
And I think that's the
932
00:53:08,240 --> 00:53:10,760
difference in the tray with
Gentie and Jeremiah love are
933
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:14,080
both going, you know, they're
both going very similar range.
934
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,040
I think love right now is going
a little ahead of them in
935
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,840
drafts, but they're still still
being picked very high.
936
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:22,440
So when you have the difference
of Lad and Burden, we do need to
937
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,840
see Lad bounce back.
You know, he did, he had a down
938
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:26,480
season.
Let's hope that doesn't happen
939
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,520
again, but we do need to see him
bounce back.
940
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,160
So, you know, it's not a slam
dunk.
941
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,440
This trades terrible, but I
think it's one of them trades
942
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,960
where it can be really.
It could look really interesting
943
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,480
next year around this time.
Oh yeah, I.
944
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:43,280
Wouldn't fault somebody for
taking the love side if they're
945
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,520
soured on the lad and they
soured on Janty and they just
946
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:51,640
want something new and they want
to have those players in the
947
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:55,480
offseason that they got the
arrows pointing up and there
948
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,920
there aren't the questions about
what's going to happen.
949
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:03,480
There's just a lot of positive
imagination about what the
950
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:07,280
future could be and you kind of
want to just re roll with
951
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,360
someone else.
But re rolling from lad to
952
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:14,320
burden, that's that's a big
risk.
953
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,960
And and you don't really need to
to take that.
954
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:22,560
I I don't think so.
But yeah, no, it's always
955
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:27,000
interesting talking trades and
you got to have different
956
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,760
opinions for it to be fun.
But when it comes to Marvin
957
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,960
Harrison junior, I want one
opinion.
958
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:40,600
He's worth a late 1st That's it.
Yeah, we talked a lot about
959
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,720
Marvin Harrison today, and I
think it's a good point you make
960
00:54:43,720 --> 00:54:45,520
there.
It's a good thing to have
961
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,920
different opinions because at
the end of the day, if everyone
962
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,400
viewed each player very
similarly, it'd be really hard
963
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:55,720
to get anything done really.
So it's it's yeah, it's it's
964
00:54:55,720 --> 00:54:57,720
definitely good to have
different opinions on players.
965
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,920
A certain certain people would
view trades as a slam dunk or
966
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:03,720
others would be like, I don't
know what you're talking about,
967
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,600
you know, but no, it's it's fun.
It's fun.
968
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,280
Talking trades is always, you
know, you could talk about this
969
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:10,080
for hours.
It's fun.
970
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,760
There's so many different offers
out there, so many different
971
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,600
offers that we personally have,
you know, seen come our way or
972
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,160
we send to others.
And it's, it's, yeah.
973
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:21,720
Like we talked about earlier,
trading in dynasty is such a,
974
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,040
such an essential part of being
a dynasty owner.
975
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:27,880
You have to be active.
You have to be active, you have
976
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,760
to be looking at values and you
just have to just keep your eye
977
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,160
out.
Always keep your eye out for
978
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:34,480
offers.
Doesn't mean you need to make
979
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,920
trades at all times, but it does
mean you need to be active.
980
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,720
You need to be looking for
different ways to improve your
981
00:55:39,720 --> 00:55:43,400
roster and that's how that's how
you succeed in this.
982
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,360
Absolutely that.
I would agree with you on that
983
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:51,040
and you also and this will kind
of tie into maybe an idea for
984
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,880
the next two weeks.
We've already done wide receiver
985
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:56,360
ones.
We've done running back once.
986
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,360
We're not going to cover
quarterbacks, we're not going to
987
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,680
cover tight up because those
positions just aren't as deep.
988
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,760
And of course you got your wide
receiver and running back once.
989
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,800
That's what everybody wants
their players to become.
990
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,720
When you have a wide receiver
running back too, that's a
991
00:56:13,720 --> 00:56:18,880
starter on your team, but you're
hoping they take that next step
992
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:24,160
where the real value is to be
made is in the wide receiver
993
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:28,000
running back three, right?
That all the sudden you go from
994
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:32,000
a guy that you could get
somewhat cheaply and all the
995
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,880
sudden may become an every week
starter.
996
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,320
And I guess that's somewhat
dependent upon your starting
997
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,440
requirements.
But usually elite teams will
998
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:44,520
have multiple number ones,
they'll have multiple number
999
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,800
twos, and maybe they got 1 #3
starting somewhere.
1000
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:54,520
But yeah, what do you say to to
covering wide receiver threes
1001
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,400
when we talk about a list that
was going to have some
1002
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,440
variation?
I definitely think once we start
1003
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:07,200
looking at the top 36 players,
numbers 25 through 36, there's
1004
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,200
going to be a lot of variation
in there because those numbers
1005
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:15,080
are not set in stone.
Yeah, I I think that'd.
1006
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,280
Be an awesome idea.
You're going to start talking
1007
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,040
about players like Jordan
Addison, Christian Watson,
1008
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,360
Pierce, all you know, players
like that, you know, and it'll
1009
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,920
be it'll be really interesting.
Alec Pierce will be probably in
1010
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:27,840
that discussion, players like
that.
1011
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,920
And that's what you know, like
you said did this is these are
1012
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,640
the players that if you have one
currently on your roster as a
1013
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,920
wide receiver 3 and you got them
at a tremendous value, if they
1014
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,160
can really have a solid year,
man, you're in great.
1015
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,320
You're in great position.
So wide receiver threes would be
1016
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,800
really fun to talk about.
All right, that.
1017
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,360
Sounds like a plan.
That sounds like a plan.
1018
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,920
Well, we've had another
outstanding show, one of the
1019
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:57,440
best of all time and RJ Harvey
level level of product we put
1020
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:01,520
out this week.
I'll, I'll wish you and the
1021
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,400

Wish you both a good week.
We'll come back next week with
1023
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:11,640
the wide receiver three list and
I'll let you close out the show.
1024
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,480
Yeah, this was.
Another great show, man, Really,
1025
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:18,120
really fun time talking trades.
Like we said many times, this
1026
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:22,920
show, Dynasty fantasy football
trading, it's such an essential
1027
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,160
part to your roster.
And at the end of the day, it's
1028
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,240
fun, you know, and it's fun.
And that's why we do this.
1029
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,040
We if you're not having fun with
it, it's not really much of A
1030
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,560
point to to to play in this.
So yeah, this was a fun show, a
1031
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:36,520
lot of cool trades.
Looking forward to talking some
1032
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,600
more next week about some wide
receiver threes.
1033
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:39,800
All right, have a good week.
