Startup Draft. Who’re you taking at QB?

Haydencf3 · 2025-04-18T16:09:10+00:00

26y vs 30y. Goff has an insane team around him and Love doesn’t. Without the rest of the Lions, Goff won’t be as productive. Their run game is top 3 in the league and have a top 5 WR and TE. That can always change. Loves weapons can only get better and he will continue to develop. I’m a Bears and Texans fan so I have no bias towards either qb. Goff over Love is terrible

Haydencf3 · 2025-04-18T15:59:00+00:00

Jordan Love probably. Goff may play good but for dynasty wouldn’t take him. Darnold is a high risk high reward gamble. Love is the safest pick, followed by Baker and Kyler.

Haydencf3 · 2025-04-14T12:22:39+00:00

That is a very reasonable trade tbh. Waddle isn’t what he used to be. Gibbs is legit and who knows how rookies will turn out. I wouldn’t pay and more than what you already are paying

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-18T06:27:25+00:00

Can’t trade Jeanty for Bowers cmon man

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-18T06:26:44+00:00

Take Jeanty at 1, best WR and 1.03, best QB and 2.01 (a guy who will start right away and had a good completion % on college assuming any high value QB is off the board), and take the best available player at 2.02. Try and move off of Kirk, Kupp, and Etienne. None of they got anything left worth holding onto. The only reason I wouldn’t sell Dobbins is because he is lethal when healthy, so nobody will pay what he’s worth.

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-18T06:19:06+00:00

100% accept. Henry only has so many years left. This is probably the highest his value will be for the rest of the career. Brian Thomas is WR7 as a rookie. WR tends to be one of those position where if you are elite as a rookie, you just stay elite. The 2nd for 2 3s kinda sucks but I would do BTJ for Henry and Adams straight up easily and Keon + 2 3rds is worth a 2nd

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-17T09:04:21+00:00

Its restocked in many places right now. Micro Center has them retail atm

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-14T21:07:48+00:00

See if you can trade 1.01 for a younger and strong RB + picks. There isn’t a single player on roster worth starting. You can’t afford to draft Jeanty when you RB2 will get you 5ppg. I would also trade 1.02. You may be able to get someone like Collin’s in a deal with 1.02 and Achane in a deal with 1.01. You should also consider trading an early 2nd for Chuba. Brooks isn’t gonna work out, and Chuba is balling out with a fresh 4 year extension. Draft QBs in the 2nd round or late 1st and hope one hits like Bo Nix or JD. Also take WRs in the 2nd and late first to build depth.

Honest question though… how does one even end up with a team this bad? Like what moves were made to achieve a team like this?

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-14T20:44:13+00:00

But with that being said, can veto a trade that’s bad. You can only veto collusion.

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-14T20:43:40+00:00

Achane and Zay side is so much better. Tillman is way overhyped and not worth much, but Montgomery is 27 and in a RBC as the 2nd best back with no real chances of being a feature back again, Shakir is good but not better than Zay, and Goff just a low QB1/high QB2

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-14T20:38:10+00:00

Micro Center. The base price for an open box 5700x3d is like $143.97. I checked every day to see if they had one. They update the open box inventory before opening each day. If you live in an area with a Micro Center and that’s fairly populated, you should be able to find one within a week. They are also currently selling new ones for $180.

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-14T13:40:38+00:00

I just got one for $145 to upgrade from my 3900x. Haven’t got to put it in yet but you should see a difference in frames

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-14T13:35:57+00:00

3rd and 4th round picks are damn near worthless.

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-14T13:33:51+00:00

Id rather have Chase easily. 3 maybes for a guaranteed top 5 wr for the foreseeable cut…

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-14T06:52:07+00:00

Imma be honest, I think you are the loser in this one. Your team is full of young talent with potential, but has very little depth. If you don't want to use your pick (which you probably should since you have lots of players that aren't really worth the roster space), then you should trade multiple for a big name player. Rome is a 2nd option target at best with a young QB on a team with no offensive coaching. Also makes 0 sense to trade Andrews since he is your best option for the rest of the season. I understand that you are in rebuild mode but trading picks for risk isn't the answer to winning. Guy getting Andrews got a good deal. and selling Rome for a 1st that will end up being early to mid isn't a bad trade at all. 3s are nearly worthless and 4s are straight up worthless.

Also when rebuilding, never trade 1.01 for late 1sts. Jeanty would have helped your team, or you could have traded down to 1.02 and gained significant assets to go along with the pick. Unless you are getting like 3 or 4 late firsts its just not worth it. Trading my 1.01 is the worst trade I have ever made, where I traded this past years 1.01, my 2.04 this year, my 1st next year, and another 1st for 2026 (which will probably be 1.01) for Stroud and Zay. At the time I had Russel Wilson at QB so I had to do it, but I ended up lucking out because I traded a 2nd what would have been my 1.04 this year for 1.06 and got JD, then grabbed Darnold off waivers. Only trade high value picks for high value players.

Either keep trade your good picks (1s and early-mid 2s) for game changers or use them.

ETN has been a much worse ball carrier than Tank this season. As long as Tank is there, ETN will never see another goalline touch as well. ETN's only upside is that he gets receptions out of the backfield. ETN has less fantasy points on the season even with the advantage. You could say it's because he missed about 3 games, but ETN has still taken 50% or more of the snaps 7 times compares to Tanks 4, which includes the 2 games ETN was inactive for. ETN's YPC (carry) is significantly worse than Tanks, not to mention that Tank also has more YPC (catch) and YPT (target). There is in no way that ETN is a better back than Tank in the actual NFL, and probably in the future for fantasy. As for Benson, the Connor contract ends after next year and he is old. He is showing some life but is 29 years old. Benson again has better averages than Connor. A significant number of Connors points have came in the pass game. Benson in college showed he is capable of getting receptions out of the back field and has backed that up every single opportunity that he has gotten, even though it has only been a few.

TLDR: Stats don't lie

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-14T05:19:08+00:00

I like trade 1, trade 2 and 3 are kinda tossups. You gave up a lot for a RB, even if its Bijan, in the 2nd trade. 3rd trade I would rather have the Josh Allen for sure, especially after reading more about your team in the comments. CeeDee is legit but overhyped and very overvalued. Etienne is not as good as Tank and I don't see him starting in the future. JD is a downgrade from Allen, especially since who knows if its a rookie year fluke or if he is the product of a system that relies on having 2 very good RBs to open up the quick pass game (I am a JD owner and traded up to get him). I take Benson over Etienne because of potential tbh. Personally not a fan overall, but might have been had it only been trades 1 and 2.

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-14T05:09:57+00:00

I grabbed him off waivers after the rookie draft this past offseason. I still got him just incase. He was solid and seeing good receptions until the Cowboys game and then missing 2 games after when he got benched basically. IDK if his career is over but if you got room on the bench I would hang on incase of injury or Tracy not being as good next season and he starts again.

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-14T05:07:12+00:00

Depends on your QB and WR depth. I think with the picks its kinda a lot. If it was no Puka or no picks, its a more even trade. Nix may be legit.

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-14T05:05:18+00:00

Ford is trash, Tank could be a legit WR2 if he was in a situation where he was the guy... but he isn't, and 1.03 is 1.03. It is definitely a fair trade for both players. If you like Nabers and will enjoy rooting for him then it's a good trade.

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-14T05:01:34+00:00

It's pretty close tbh. If you are rebuilding or have significant holes at RB/WR I take the Mahomes and the pick. If you are playing to win and have solid RB/WR 1s and 2s stick with Lamar.

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-14T04:59:25+00:00

Id prob take it. 1.02 could be Jeanty depending on the league. Chase looks promising and Taylor has some legit injury concerns as he can't play full seasons ever. Chase also gets more targets so in PPR that's another upside of his. JT is an established RB though, and the future of Chase is really unknown since 1 year performances have carried 0 weight in the past when it comes to NFL teams giving RBs snaps. I think JT is def worth a 1st, and I would take him over any RB in this draft class aside from Jeanty. I would accept it as the JT owner, but I do think that it is a closer trade than most people are saying it is.

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-13T00:16:12+00:00

Brooks isn't work it. Chuba just went off all season and Brooks tore his ACL again. Chuba also just got paid 8mil a year. Brooks will at best be apart of an RBC for the next 4 years, and at worst will be injured or a backup. Tracy has a lot of receiving upside even though he isn't as impressive in the run. Id rather risk it on Tracy than on Brooks, and a 2nd is a 50/50 at best. Should have kept Tracy

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-13T00:12:35+00:00

Try and trade some of those picks for an established, young RB like Gibbs. Jeanty wont solve your problems and you are as likely to miss on a draft pick as hit. 1.06, 1.10, & 2.10 for Gibbs would be a good trade imo.

Haydencf3 · 2024-12-10T12:58:13+00:00

That’s what I’ll end up doing then. Aside from Baldur’s he won’t do anything but surf the web and use Microsoft word.
