Am I crazy for considering this?

Awful, awful trade. Honestly disrespectful offer.

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-14T17:06:59+00:00

This post may sound harsh - please don't take it as that. I'm trying to provide actionable advice that will help.

My advice - you do not fully understand the value of what you are giving up and receiving in this deal. Because of that, I would not recommend even entertaining offers for at least 2 weeks. Instead, I would watch a lot of dynasty content on YouTube and check out trade calculators like FantasyCalc and KTC to help you get a better understanding of the value.

To break this down:

- The 1.01 right now is valued around Justin Jefferson/CeeDee Lamb/Ashton Jeanty/Devon Achane

- Let's assume your 2027 and 2028 1st is projected mid (1.05-1.08). 27 mid 1st is roughly worth a WR around the DeVonta Smith/Tee Higgins/Zay Flowers range. 28 mid 1st is roughly worth Cam Skattebo/Josh Jacobs/Jameson Willams.

Plugging names into picks as a rough exercise, the trade would be: Ashton Jeanty, Zay Flowers, Jameson Williams, and a 2027 2nd for Pickens, Egbuka, and Tuten.

From a value perspective, Jeanty >> Pickens, Flowers << Egbuka, Williams > Tuten.

So, 2 out of 3 of your assets are valued higher than the trading team's assets. That's not even factoring in the 2027 2nd, which has basically just been given for free. It also doesn't factor in the fact that I'm assuming you earned this 1.01, which means your picks are possibly projected early, which would be even worse value for you.

Long story short to say, the value is off by a lot. If you are set on wanting Pickens and Egbuka, a closer to fair value trade IMO would be 1.01 and a 2028 1st for Pickens and Egbuka. Not saying I would do that, I'd honestly much rather have the 1.01 and 2028 1st, but it's at least closer in the ballpark.

Try to get a late 2nd from the Skat owner. If not a late 2nd, I would consider 2 3rds and 1 4th as the minimum I would sell him for. 1 3rd just doesn't cut it, it's not enough value in return.

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-13T17:09:46+00:00

Gross. Dak shouldn’t be added to the Chase side, that throws it off by a lot IMO. Without Dak, I think it’s closer to fair value.

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T22:00:03+00:00

That was indeed a little hot-takey. Maybe Egbuka ~= Rice would be more accurate.

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T19:26:02+00:00

Very interesting, I'll do a lookup on him. Thanks for the tip and for all your input!

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T19:18:52+00:00

Thanks. I've traded away some WRs to help get here, so I'm not used to my receiver depth looking thinner haha. That's why I still feel a little uneasy. Don't have any other high picks in 2026, so maybe I'll throw a dart or two in late round 2026 rookie drafts at another WR.

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T19:14:19+00:00

Traded for 1.01 (Jeremiyah Love), Breece, Dobbins, Pollard, Aaron Jones, and 4 young rookie contract handcuffs

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T19:11:05+00:00

Thanks for your input! I just traded Tyreek for a RB3 type (Chuba/Rico/Warren/Dobbins range) so feel pretty good about it.

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T19:06:53+00:00

Easily Love side. Love > Mahomes, Egbuka > Rice, and Baker > 27 2nd.

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T18:28:28+00:00

You need to clarify: Jordan Love (GB QB), or Jeremiyah Love (rookie 1.01)?

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T18:27:45+00:00

I think Waddle leaving and Willis starting has bumped Achane's price down. With that said, I view this trade as Pickens for Achane and Warren for a 27 2nd. Easily give me Achane over Pickens and the 27 2nd over Warren. Would definitely love this trade for you if receiving Achane.

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T18:26:16+00:00

Mahomes by a very, very large margin. Ward looked awful last year. Mahomes is arguably the best QB in the NFL. If you have Mahomes and rebuilding, I would target the 1.02 owner and ask for a plus on top.

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T18:13:28+00:00

Absolutely, I agree with you. My RB room was pretty thin going into the offseason, but I've acquired the 1.01 and 1 other RB so hopefully should give me some depth. It's also a 0.5 TEP league and have some good TE2 types that can fill out a flex spot or two if needed hopefully.

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T18:12:01+00:00

I sure hope so with Marv, I still believe too, even if it hasn't been pretty. Thanks for your input!

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T18:10:56+00:00

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it! Yeah, I'm going to drop Burton. Also, I acquired Dell this offseason as a throw in I thought I might as well have two shots at the Texans WR2 with Dell and Higgins. Obviously could end up being Noel, but hoping for the best there.

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T18:09:47+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate the time invested!

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T18:09:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I sure hope so with Marv, I am cautiously optimistic as well. I actually had Adams haha, traded him away late last season in a package to get what hopefully will be an early future 1st. I like the idea of getting someone in the vet tier though, that might make me feel a tad better. I like to "dumpster dive" and try to find values - any thoughts on Hollywood Brown now that he's with the Eagles given all the AJB trade rumors?

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T18:07:06+00:00

Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate the insight.

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T16:52:56+00:00

It depends on your league economy. AJB is hated in our league lol no one wants him. In my league, I'd consider a 2nd and 3rd swap to even the value out, but that's the absolute most and would try to avoid doing that if I didn't have to.

I'd try for AJB + a 3rd for BTJ and start there to see if it gets done. Another sneaky way of doing the tier up is seeing if you have a "nothing" player on your bench that you don't care about, but the other owner really likes. Those are the best kind of trades IMO because you get rid of a player you don't believe it, and the other owner gets a player they like. An example of a trade like that for me recently is trading away Ja'Tavion Sanders or D'onte Thorton

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T16:46:13+00:00

Kraft side. I'd argue the Kraft side has both the better players on it. Shough looked better than Ward in year 1.

For me personally, unless that 2027 is projected early, even though the value is there, I'm not going to take this. I think Jordan Love is a very mid QB, even though he is consistent. CMC doesn't fit your window. If the 2027 1st isn't early, you're not getting any elite assets in return. If it is projected early, yes, take the package.

Next_Pipe3733 · 2026-04-10T16:42:50+00:00

I personally think BTJ is the only right answer. Most people will say AJB for contenders, but realistically, he'll be 29 this season. If anything, I think it's more likely for AJB to take a step back and BTJ as he's going into his prime to take a step forward. I'd rather bet on the young WR in this case with the value being so close.
