In a vacuum, yeah, but not with your team setup. What I meant was if Lacy fell to yhe 5/6 pick like you implied, it would suck if you traded it. And if Lacy does go top four, I'd prefer DT at 6 over the Jeffery deal.

 

[Trudem]

I think I could potentially get both Jeffrey in a trade or Thomas/Graham in the draft.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Well...if that's possible, I guess there's nothing wrong with that.

I actually like the Jeffrey trade and would rather have Jeffrey than Thomas.

TKO, I think what you are missing here is that Jeffrey is keeper eligible and Thomas never will be. Yes, Thomas is better, but Trudem can have Jeffrey for as long as he wants if he makes this deal.

Since there is nothing that you really need with that pick, moving down a few spots to acquire the next elite WR keeper makes lots of sense to me. Whoever you end up taking with that pick will either be your FLEX or a QB that you don't really need, and you can still get a good player at 11.

Graham is the one player I would not draft because you already have Thomas locked up. I think the WR you could take at 11 would get you more points. If you take Graham, the pick might be best used as a trade chip.

I can play both Graham and Thomas at the same time.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Yes. That kind of went over my head. If DT is not keepable, I agree getting Jeffery over Garcon for the sake of five picks is a good choice .

 

[Yellow Fuzzies]

Megatron getting no love here? I would go Forte and Calvin but wouldn't blame you for Going Forte and Murray if you like the RB/RB scenario.

I realize that, but I would much rather have depth elsewhere and Thomas is elite.

Graham is fantastic value at TE, but not an exceptional value at flex (for a first rounder). Julius is a solid TE but a poor value at flex. So if you draft Graham you're undoing what Julius brings to your team.

So are you in the Forte/Thomas camp?

 

[wilwhite]

Two RBs for me.

 

[Trudem]

Still two RBs if I trade back to 1.11?

 

[tlance]

Ideally it would be an RB, but I think you need to stay flexible. The only position I would not consider at pick 11 is TE. RB, WR or QB could be a possibility depending on who is available.

 

[Trudem]

Ok so I figure I should give you guys the outcome.

The first four picks went McCoy, Charles, Lacy and Lynch!

I got forte and AP. I also held onto 2.10 and got Rodgers. Admittedly I'm a little light at RB since I traded Jennings, did that during the draft, but I snagged kelvin Benjamin, Devonta Freeman, Brandin Cooks and Jordan Mathews! Very happy with my draft and I'm looking to acquire one more RB so I have a buffer before Freeman.

Nice!

So your top 3 RBs are Ball, Forte and AP with Rodgers at QB? That is not too shabby.

Correct and I still have Nelson and garçon as my top two WRs with Julius Thomas at TE. I need one more RB and I am golden.

 

[Trudem]

Since I'm admittedly weak at rb after the top three guys should I move Benjamin for Joique Bell?
