Beaker Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ok so I asked a while back about potential keeper strategy here and just made two trades tonight getting some value for 2 players i wasnt going to keep. How'd i do? Heres the situation: 10 Team standard scoring league Keep 3 Players Keep them in round they were drafted +1 (4th becomes a 3rd) Can only keep one of first two round picks (they both have 1st round value) Waiver wire pickups count as 16th round picks My team prior to trade with rounds players can be kept in brackets: QB: Stafford (6), Rodgers (1) RB: Lynch (1), Forte (1), Steven Jackson (2), Lacy (5), Joique Bell (16) WR: Cruz (3), Vjax (4), Harvin (16), Allen(16), Marvin Jones (16) TE: Julius Thomas (14), Jordan Cameron (12) I'd decided I was going to keep Forte, Lacy and Julius Thomas which basically meant I had Harvin and Allen as legit trade bait. Here's what i traded: Trade 1: Harvin + 34th overall for 18th overall Trade 2: Allen + 54th overall + 18th overall for 38th and 17th overall This ultimately gives me net: Harvin + Allen 6th round pick for a 2nd round pick with a bit of movement in round 4. Did I do ok? Basically that 2nd round pick was VERY appealing to me. Gives me the potential to have Forte, Lacy and say two of Marshall/Julio/Demarco Murray/Doug Martin/Rodgers or similar. Think it worked out for those two as well as their keeper choices werent good. Drop a link WHIR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Yes - this is a perfect illustration of what you can do in these situations. You essentially moved up from 54 to 17 for nothing (other than the drop from 34 to 38) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
