...you traded a kicker and a second round pick... for another kicker?

U need to trade away one of ur receivers or maybe package two of them for an upgrade at RB, IMHO.

nice work, now trade Stafford and Mathews for Peyton and Gore and you'll be all set!

Looks stout, except for Matthews and Jones. I'd put Roddy in for Jones right away, too many options to throw to in GB and Nelson is the favorite.

I'd hope for a good week from Wallace and try to flip him for another RB.

ya. I had been trying to get Janko for years so I pulled the trigger on that trade when Greg still had some hype. Our drafts are rookies and FA's so I figured it was a good way to lock down that position for the next few years.

With Vareen out, I agree. So far, nothing really happening on the trade block.

Jones is still underrated. He's been targeted 20 times the last two weeks. I agree about Wallace. Again, no takers so far. Not even the guy who has Tannenhill wants him lol

thanks for the feedback. I forgot to mention I am 3-1 so far and play an 0-4 team this week.

Fuck that trade block yo! Make that shit happen. Look at others rosters and decide what they "need" then make offers.

So, you traded a K that could have had you solid at that position for 10-12 years AND a high draft pick, in order to get a K that is solid for the next few years.......interesting move, I guess.
I'd rather take my chances with Zeurlein and use that pick on a potential rookie WR next year, personally, figuring that most rookie RBs go in the 1st round of a draft like this.

I don't like the kicker trade at all. Oakland's offense is pretty bad. They need to move the ball for Seabass to have a chance.

As for the other one, Roddy is a clear upgrade now (I think), but you may really miss Tavon in a couple years. Time will tell.

Notice you are a Rams fan but I have zero faith in them. At least the Raiders have Mcfadden. Janko should be good for the next 3-4 years for me.

Rookie/FA drafts are super hit and miss. I took Aaron Dobson in round 2 this year (Austin in round 1, pick 8 and my best pick was Kenbrell Thompkins round 3). Another reason I threw my 2nd at him is that I don't plan to drop more than probably one guy before next years draft (barring major injury).

You're right about RB's going early. The year before RG3 and Luck went 1 and 2. Next year I expect the QB's to go early again. We have a couple teams who are dying for a franchise QB.

That's what I mean. I've been making my calls. No one is biting. I've pulled off some huge trades in the past (Stafford for CJ2K and Gates for Gronk - had the guy w the no.1 waiver pick grab Gronk when he was still an unknown then traded him to me for an aging Gates ) so I can't complain too much.

which is exactly why Zeurlein is a good fantasy K, and will be for years. You want a team that cant score TDs, and look at all of the weak flags thrown on special teams vs the Rams so far - horrible field positioning has screwed them. I dont expect that to change, and I also don't expect the Rams to magically win games every week, but I'd still bet that Legatron gets his this year

You may be right. Time will tell. I had been trying to get Janko for years from the previous owner with no luck. Dude left league and new owner was willing to deal. So it might be one of those things were I just became bound and determined to get him.
