Avernus Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 oh, balzac...I did this last year and moved deuce and a QB for manning (after he just had a game where he threw under 200 yds and right when he had his bye week) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AoNrDaYnAge Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I would wait until after week 1 or 2 after Mike Anderson has started a game or two and of course, since he is on Denver, had 100+ yards each game and then I would dump him on the T Bell owner for a WR upgrade. Your team looks really solid though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just rather play it safe than have to rely on ther teams for a trade. When other teams know you're desperate to trade, they like to hold out for more in most cases (if they're smart). In a much more extreme example of this, some dude in one of my leagues last year drafted Manning and Cpep with his 1st 2 picks (we only started 1 QB). When nobody would give him full value for either QB, he still didn't budge in what he was asking for - he played the whole year w/ Culpepper on his bench. Funny stuff.

Grits and Shins Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I always think it is very poor strategy to draft players that you can't start with the intention of trading them later. It puts you in a weak position. The other owners in the league know you can't start all your players and there is nothing you can do to re-coup those points stagnating on your bench ... unless they trade with you. That is a position of weakness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 We had a guy that took Vick at 5.12, then Hasselback at 6.1. As if to say "I'm am REALLY stooooopid", he realises they have the same bye week and takes Palmer at 7.12! I told him Palmer was the hest of the three, but now he's stuck with 3 QB's. I told him I could trade Pennington for Palmer, but he'd still have 3 QB's. Until a QB goes down, he's stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRUISER Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I would be a little worried about that QB tandem. I am staying away from Warner even though I love his receivers because I have a feeling he is going to get hurt. If JJ starts and misses a blocking assignment Warner could get "taken out". He doesn't seem like the toughest guy around. As a Raider fan I hope for big things from Collins but I'm not completely sold on him. You've got to love all those weapons though. Hope it works out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 To land Edge at 7, then also get K. Jones, and still get LaMont, is pretty nutty. If the season goes anything like your draft, I'd say you have VERY good chance of winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
