abenjami Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 10 team league, no PPR, no keepers. I have the #5 pick. I love drafting in the middle (4-5-6-7) in this league. But given it's no PPR, I don't see the first round #5 pick being valuable. I suspect the top 4 will go Taylor, CMC, Henry, Cook. I see those guys as being in a tier above guys like Ekeler and the top WR's in a no-PPR. Assuming that's how the top 4 go, I'm going to try to trade away my #5 pick. Not switch draft slots or anything, just trade away my first round pick. What do you think is fair compensation for that? I was thinking of offering the #10 slot my #5 pick for his second and third round picks. He ends up with picks #5 and #10 in the first 3 rounds, and I end up with picks #11, #18, #29 and #40.

CaliTitan3518 Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 I think that would be robbery. You will probably have to know their draft strategy and who they want to make a fair trade offer. I would be fine with taking Ekeler at #5. He is good for double digit TDs with his usage in the run and passing game making him a fine pick for standard leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My proposal above is to trade #5 for #11 and #30. Even if I said my first for his second and fourth, then it's #5 for #11 and #31. The next step down would be my first for his second and fifth. But I don't think that's worth it for me to trade #5 for #11 and #50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 10 and 11 he is guaranteed two tier 2 players so why give one of those up to draft a tier 2 player? The jump from 10 to 5 isn't significant enough to give up a top 50 pick. Or atleast I would never do it. Would you trade Chubb/Kamara/Chase and Etienne/Montgomery/McLaurin for Ekeler? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test a couple of owners around that range and see what happens. Some owners aren't that smart. Start from a position that is to your favor and move closer to fair. Cast a lot of offers.
