This trade would be at the draft. So, I would give him the pick and he would give me Zeke.
Well. That's a big, fat absolutely for me.

this, definitely, no matter which pick u give upWell. That's a big, fat absolutely for me.
Yeah... I don't mean to brag, but I usually do a pretty good job of working the draft to my advantage. Most of the time when I move around in the draft, it works out well for me. For some reason, though, I get like this the week before and start to overthink every possible move and need a little re-assurance.all the picks flying back and forth can get confusing from the outside looking in, but I think you have the game plan set up right, just need one of your guys to fall to that 15 spot and you're set
Less than 24 hours away from this draft. Any last minute thoughts? I don't see the Edelman or Ware injuries doing much to this list. I would move Hunt up a little, but not into this range.This is the league that I posted asking for keeper help about a month and change ago. 12 teams, PPR, bonus points for long TDs, 1/50 punt or kick return yards. We keep 2 offensive players and 1 IDP. Start 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 RB/WR/TE, 1 K, 1 P (yes, punter), 7 IDPs, and we have 6 on the bench.
My keepers are RB Shady McCoy and WR Michael Thomas (who you guys talked me into! J/K, I'm a grown ass man). Landon Collins is my IDP keeper for those who care.
I have the #10, 12, and 15 picks, so getting the chance to grab 3 on that turn instead of 2 really gives me an advantage. Especially, since I am the only one with the extra pick in the first round. Nobody else has multiple picks in any round until the 7th after the 1st and that is also my extra pick. Couple all that with a solid (but not spectacular) set of keepers and a long line of fantasy success in this league and I should be one of the favorites coming in to this season.
This is the list of guys who are the best available, according to an ADP list that I used about a month ago. I have added a couple guys who are rising, but I am basically trying to make a best 15 list and hope I get 3 of the guys towards the top of the list. My problem is that I am running into a lot of hair splitting after the top 6 or so. It seems like 7 through about 20something is pretty much the same tier and there is not much difference between any of the players. This is not how I have these guys ranked, by the way.
RB Todd Gurley - I expect to go 1st.
WR Jordy Nelson - I expect to go 3rd.
RB Marshawn Lynch - I expect to go in the middle of the first 5 to 8 range.
WR TY Hilton - Could go 2nd or 3rd, should be gone by pick 7 or 8 at the very latest.
RB Leonard Fournette - Could go as high as 2. Not expecting him to fall past 4 unless he just sucks in the preseason.
After that, it is pretty much up in the air. I know anything can happen, especially in this kind of draft. There are a couple of inexperienced guys that have joined in the past few years who are getting used to the IDP aspect of things and the unique waiver wire and such. There are also a few very knowledgeable guys who will give me a run for the money.
RB Lamar Miller -
WR Brandon Cooks
RB Isaiah Crowell
WR Deandre Hopkins
QB Tom Brady
WR Doug Baldwin
RB Christian McCaffrey
WR Terrell Pryor
RB Joe Mixon
WR Allen Robinson
RB Spencer Ware
RB Carlos Hyde
TE Travis Kelce
WR Sammy Watkins
WR Devante Adams
WR Demaryius Thomas
WR Tyreek Hill
QB Drew Brees
RB Ty Montgomery
RB Mike Gillislee
WR Keenan Allen
RB Dalvin Cook
WR Martavious Bryant
WR Jarvis Landry
Looks like a pretty decent team.Well, here is the final result...
QB - M. Mariota
RB - L. McCoy, L. Miller
WR - M. Thomas, D. Baldwin
FLex - WR D. Thomas
TE - G. Olsen
K - S. Janikowski
P - B. Colquitt
DE - L. Williams, E. Griffen
LB - L. Keuchly, B. Marshall, M. Jack
DB - L. Collins, H. Smith
Bench
QB - Jameis Winston
RB - D. McFadden, T. Coleman, R. Kelly, J. Williams (McCoy's McCuff)
WR - P. Garcon
The first round went Gurley, Cooks, Hilton, McCaffrey, Crowell, Nelson, Hopkins, Fournette, D. Adams, so I went Miller there. TyMo went next, then I took Baldwin with the pick I traded for. Fitz and Pryor went, then I took DT after trying to trade down like I wanted. The guy balked on the deal. It would have worked out a little better for my RB depth.
In a good way or bad way?landry with cutler scares me
bad way, don't think he's very usefulIn a good way or bad way?
To the guy who has Freeman...What about something like Tevin Coleman and Baldwin for Marshawn Lynch and Kelvin Benjamin?
You seem to really like Benjamin.....I don't get the attraction. He's on my "do not draft" list.To the guy who has Freeman...
I think he's going to put up numbers similar to his rookie year. Carolina could be a very scary team if the rookies catch on quick. There are a lot of weapons there.You seem to really like Benjamin.....I don't get the attraction. He's on my "do not draft" list.
