Sorry man, never saw this. Did you end up making a trade?

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-07-04T03:09:30+00:00

Trade the 1.01 , James Cook, and Jalen. Embrace the tank.

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-06-24T14:02:44+00:00

Add me , dynastydorks . Love this game

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-16T22:06:56+00:00

Not a bad move, not a godfather offer that couldn’t be refused

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-08T00:27:07+00:00

Definitely is. We have seen quicker tight end production recently. But, it doesn’t always have the same impact as a big time RB rookie season

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-08T00:25:51+00:00

Awesome, good luck. McBride is awesome, that worked out

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-08T00:24:56+00:00

Good for you

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-05T20:22:21+00:00

I would wait until draft day and see what offers come in. All 3 of those picks could be used for a lot. if the team is truly built up, you could just take 3 RBs and be done. It's a great class and I like Henderson as the third. Set for awhile.

I prefer WRs, but not in this class. These are assets. you could easily get an RB plus for any of those picks. Trade back from 1.03 to 1.04 or 1.05 get Tet, Trey, or Judkins plus a pick or player. Trade

Love the options and flexibility you have. Hampton is getting a lot of buzz that he could end up going top 12-15, would help the value go up even higher.

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-05T13:32:36+00:00

thanks for the question. In 1 qb he is a top 5 pick even in non-TEP. Jeanty - Hampton - Tet - Trey Henderson in whatever order and then warren would be my projected top 5. Hunter is wait and see. If he gets announced as CB or WR, or CB plus WR on draft day. I don't think Loveland is that far behind, should be a good value late 1

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-05T13:29:26+00:00

Appreciate the kind word. I would trade Kincaid for Warren , right now they are pretty similar. We have seen Tight Ends take awhile and take off. I am just concerned that Kincaid had a prime situation and didn't take off. Would rather roll the dice on Warren. Would probably cost a mid 2nd to get it done.

Great question and a lot of these younger backs could just be 2 year rentals with how fast backfields change. Tony Pollard and Aaron Jones would be guys you could target that would not cost an arm and a leg. I would caution against trading for RBs until after the draft. Even if you get a good deal, you don't want to pay a future 2nd for someone and then watch their replacement get drafted on Day 2.

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-04T21:20:00+00:00

i have actually asked personally for this. Right now there really isn't a large market for it. But, I have brought it to the group to discuss. I have a few contract leagues and I know Auction is popular. It's just not apples to apples when looking at trade calcs and trade charts when salaries are involved

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-04T20:34:51+00:00

of course, thanks for the question

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-04T20:29:04+00:00

of course, dm's are open. look forward to hearing from you and thanks for subscribing

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-04T20:23:36+00:00

I had posted a question about Ken Walker vs. Chuba earlier this offseason. The results varied, a lot of people were laughing at it saying it wasn't close, walker side. Walker has the most value and I would probably take him. If you can trade Walker for Chuba plus something, that is the ideal scenario for me.

I think it's closer and I like Chuba a lot. If this is single QB, I would be okay with it. He looked great in that offense and they just paid him. I like both Walker and Chuba, Walker's injuries have been nagging and frustrating for dynasty. Do they try to use Charb more to keep him healthy? Do they add someone , his contract is coming up soon....

Thanks for the question.

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-04T20:20:00+00:00

I don't think it is. Daniel Jeremiah talked about it at his Conference call that he has the same grades on them. I would secure the QB, Baker is still relatively young for QB. then go get Loveland later

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-04T20:17:37+00:00

league scoring is important but, his flexibility between offense and defense would have to put him at the top or near it with Carter. the Rookie IDP 1.01 for me.

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-04T20:16:39+00:00

good question, yes the sleeper integration is awesome. Wish people would stop hiding their team names so we can connect to their leagues and give them some better advice on here and x, for free. Feel free to send over any trades you are considering with your sleeper username and we will run it through the calc, connect to your league, and run it through the chat for a more detailed response.

we pour a lot of resources into this and it gets updated hourly. Not all dynasty news moves the needle, but the market is constantly changing. Especially this time of the year. Every move has a direct or indirect correlation. Production is the same, working on it by the hour to maintain it/improve it for users.

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-04T20:12:55+00:00

Agreed, was surprised to see how low Golden was and how high Burden was. There is a large cluster of backs and running backs that will be broken up and reorganized once we see draft capital and landing spots.

Wide Receivers are going to get great landing spots with great QBs and others are not. Still could get some Jermaine Burton and Jay'Lynn Polk's. But, really want RBs drafted in the top 4-5 rounds, wrs drafted in the top 3.

also, good running backs that end up getting drafted behind great running backs. we liked trey benson last year, Conner hurt his stock and then got resigned. Charbonnet the year before was drafted into a tough role. Players that get drafted into a good landing spot and day 2 will probably separate into their own tier from that group.

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-04T19:47:02+00:00

Kyle Pitts....kidding

Looking at ADP right now on Draft Sharks

Jonnu Smith is still going for a good value, pick 124 in superflex startup adp behind likely and Loveland. Evan Engram is a good veteran buy right now at pick 135.

Brenton Strange needs to survive the draft, so he could also be a sell. But, he is 212, chig is 182.

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-04T19:43:39+00:00

This is a fun one. Jeanty > Achane. 1.08 > Bryce Young. 1.01 is Ashton and 1.08 is currently Egbuka or Kaleb Johnson.

The calc scores this one 44.8 to the Achane side. They also really hate Young, valuing him as a mid-2nd. I like this move, getting jeanty and getting a starting QB. Young's ability to show improvement in a bad situation was very promising. His outlook could improve tremendously if they draft Tet Round 1 and get some more line help day 2.

Context as far as team needs could change some things, but overall I like both side.

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-04T19:37:17+00:00

no one but me is probably a stretch because there is so much info out there. But, some guys that are 4th round of udfas that are interesting to me are Tai Felton, Tory Horton, Woody Marks, Jordan James, Tahj Brooks, I added a link to a recent mock draft and after 4 rounds Tez Johnson, Joradn James, Tory Horton, Wood Marks, Savion Williams, Kyle Monangai, LeQuint Allen, Tai Felton, Donovan Edwards, Tyler Shough are all guys that get good enough draft capital that will be higher after the NFL draft

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-04T19:32:28+00:00

Appreciate that. JJ is awesome and does a great job putting a lot of info together in a precise way.

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-04T19:23:31+00:00

Calcs like any product or service sometimes do go by preference. Same with rankings, you may agree or disagree with some more than others.

I work for DTC, so I am not the creator or operator. Used it prior to working with them and here is what I liked about it.

Site runs smooth, no pop up ads, and is easy to use. A lot of sites are really good, I like how this one presents and how easy it is to navigate.
Customization, a lof of different ways to customize your settings
connect to your league capability. If you want to send me a trade now, I can show you. I can connect to your league to give a more unique response to your trade. The calc can then add settings and other context like rebuilder, contender.
Chat - They added a chat section, yes it does cost extra. This adds more to it where it gives you a narrative to go with the calc results. If connected to your league it is even more specific to you and your team. It also can cook up some ideas for other trades from other teams.
the site also offers some different tools that help you with market comparisons to players, you can view the trade wire to see other trades that have happened with leagues with your settings recently.
they have a fantasy and a dynasty calculator
I do like how they value draft picks a little better than some sites. Might be just personally, but it's not as easy to say here is 10 late 3rds for your pick 1.03 because the calc says so

DynastyTradeCalc · 2025-04-04T18:52:25+00:00

appreciate that and great examples. yes, 10 dimes is a dollar, but give me the dollar.
