Steelhead Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) 12 team 2 keeper performance league. My keepers are Brees and Gore or Steve Smith. I am drafting 12th after winning the SB last year. The LT owner is looking to move him. He is considering my 1st and 3rd rd picks for him. The way I see it if I would do this I would end up with a weaker WR2 after the trade than if I drafted one in the 3rd. Here's the RBs that are keepers and not in the draft: Peterson, LT, MJD, SJax, Slaton, Forte, Gore, Jacobs, K Smith, D Williams, Westbrook, Portis, Addai, Turner, Bush, Barber With trade after 4 rds: 1st pick - traded for LT 2nd - WR1 3rd - traded for LT 4th - WR2 Brees, Gore, LT, WR1, WR2 Not doing trade after 4 rds probably: 1st - RB1 2nd - WR1 3rd - WR2 4th - WR3/RB3/TE Brees, Gore, RB2, WR1, WR2, WR3/RB2/TE Essentially I'm getting LT at the cost of not being able to draft a WR2 in Rd 3. Maybe not that big of a deal. Edited July 22, 2009 by Steelhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Company of Heroes Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Does this mean you are executing the trade at the draft? Otherwise I don't see how you can start with Brees, Gore, & LT in a 2 keeper league. In a two keeper league, this sounds like your essentially trading away a 3rd and 5th round choice for LT assuming everyone is keeping 2 players. That would be a great deal. If I'm missing something and you are actually trading away 1st and 3rd rd overall talent for LT, I don't think I make that trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelhead Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 yeah this would be the case. he jumped the gun with someone else so unfortunately I can't capitalize on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DO Jaded Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Yes, it sounds like this trade is happening at the draft after keepers are set. So trading your 3rd and 5th player pick for LT is great value. I'd do this in any draft I'm in this season. And just for the record, if you haven't set your keepers yet, I'd keep Gore over Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelhead Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 I haven't set my keepers yet and definitely leaning towards Gore. He's my default unless there's going to be a similar quality RB at my 12 spot and lesser quality WR than Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
