Ethical fantasy football question

lets take value out of it and say its straight re-draft, in a ppr league your not taking ty hilton in the top three rounds? i sure would

I think both are somewhere between mid-3rd and mid 4th. I would take Hilton first (I think), but they are close enough that the two round difference tips the scales towards Watkins for me.

Tlance are you near DC man the phone lines must be ripping...

Skins knocked me out of suicide what a stinker...

Honestly, I think most of us have gotten used to the Redskins sucking. Nothing they do can surprise me now (unless they actually win a game)

Oh for God's sake...

fair anough, its 12 team so im not that far off in my assessment

 

[SteelersPride]

its been done chef lol

This would not prevent me from making the deal, but one more small factor to consider.

Will you be picking near the top of the 1st round, or is draft order determined randomly?

If you pick first in the odd rounds and last in the even, then a 4th round pick has the exact same value to you as a 5th, but a player with a 6th round keeper tag is essentially 2 full rounds more valuable than a 5th.

 

[SteelersPride]

draft is completely random, we actually make it so that you dont know where u draft until 10 minutes before we start

Let me make what i am saying more clear...

I would not make this deal without shopping Calvin longer... I just dont see watkins or Hilton to be great keepers for the 2015 season even at a 7th round price...

If it is the best deal you can get then go for it, but hopefully it is not... I would try to get one Great keeper instead of 2 ok keepers... And i would try hard not to keep 2 WRs outside of the top 10...

the less keepers a league carries the less important the VALUE keep is... And again, with only 2 keepers you should not be trading for options on who to keep...

 

[MilkSpiller22]

and dont forget WR has been getting deeper and deeper, Watkins is not even a top 15 WR this season and he is on one of the worst offenses in football, so not much is going to change in 2015...

Milk, that is just not true.

He is already done for this season, and generally speaking, most last place teams have poor keeper options, or they would not be in last.

If I were in first with Watkins, there is no way in hell I would trade him for Calvin, unless he was not a potential keeper for me.

Just so i know what to argue what did i say is not true?? I understand he is done for the season and needs to look for keepers... But to trade for multiple options is not the way to go, he needs to get the best keepers he can get... If watkins is that then do the trade, but i just dont see him to be a great keeper...

 

[tlance]

The part that he should not be trading for keeper players because he can only keep 2

Maybe that was an unclear comment i made... Did not intend to say that... what i meant was that in a 2 player keeper league trading for multiple options is not the way to go... you need to trade for the best options you can... If watkins is the best he can get then he should do it, i just dont think watkins is the best he can get...

do not forget he didnt shop calvin..some one came knocking for him i think he got a a top 10 and a top 20 with big upside and potential future top 10 and it costs him a 5th and 7th that is good value

i am not forgetting that he didnt shop calvin... That is what i think he needs to do before accepting this deal... I wouldnt want to keep potential when there is a more proven value he could get... and again, to me it doesnt help the offer for watkins that Hilton is part of the deal... I am only looking at watkins!!!

You take too damn long with trades milk. People walk away....

i only take long when i am unsure about the trade... And if they walk away or the trade deadline passes, so be it, didn't like it enough anyways... At least i warn the owners i take my time in deciding on those trades...

And BTW, this MBBRL season i made 3 trades, 2 of them were proposed to me... I accepted them right away... so chances are if i do wait i wont accept...
