Alexander is easily the best player in this deal and who's to say that Tatum Bell won't be better than Kevin Jones... so in my eyes, the trade is Alexander for a 4th string RB and a rookie WR.

You can't say that now. If I am to take heat for the trade, it can only be after the 2005 season.

I am searching to create a dynasty, not a one-year wonder. I am well on my way, fockers! Fear Ron Dayne! Fear him! :ph34r:

Okay. Galt, per fricker, please delete all posts and threads purporting to analyze this year's draft.

I really think it's a bit foolish to try to analyze drafts of rookie players until it's two years down the road. This is a bit different from analyzing a re-draft league.

 

I'm all for doing foolish things, so I participated by throwing up my rankings.

no need to defend, its all up to the owner. If thats what you're looking for, then you shouldn't need to defend the trade.

 

In CHIMI, I took a decent amount of heat for some trades I made (mainly to JGalt), but I knew I needed to start collecting young talent.

 

Oh yeah, thanks for Shaun Alexander! :D B)

I really don't think it's that bad of a trade after the fraft. Fricker has a potential annual Pro Bowl calibre WR and a great RB. It's not like Bell is assured the Denver job.

I guess I felt compelled to defend it since Galt dropped my draft down to #12 in his rankings solely on the basis of the Alexander trade.

Just my opinion. Prove me wrong and I'll congradulate you for it.

Did Burress & 3.12 & Branch for Foster & 2.08 & Lelie really make you younger? Burress is the oldest of that group. Admit that you just had a woody for him last off season, moreso than an aim to get younger.

that trade was to get better - I had Burress ranked as my #4 WR last year. :blink: Its not like Plax is old anyway - I think he's only 25 or 26.

 

 

The trades I were referring to were the Stephen Davis for Krob deal and the Couch/Holcomb for 3.01 (Grossman) deal. A took some flak for both of those, but I felt I needed a fresh start with those guys. :thumbsup:

A year later and it is not looking good.

 

Alexander - still the top of his game and top 5 overall FF player

Bell - looks like the starter this year, though I dont blame you for shying away from Denver RBs

 

vs

 

Kevin Jones - future looks bright. 2nd round pick in most FF drafts this year

Larry Fitz - mediocre after year 1. This year will tell the tale as Ari should have a decent offence.

Fargas - dog meat

ok, helppme out here because I don't remember getting Tatum Bell in this trade.

 

I thought the trade was Alexander for Huggy Bear Jr and 1.01

 

:wub:

but sinec we're chiming in..,

 

Bell + Alexnader > KJones + Fitz

 

But! Not nearly as lopsided as I thought when I made the trade. KJones is a top 4 dynasty pick this year.

Fricker is saying that if he didn't grab Jones at 1.01, he would have felt it necessary to grab a RB at 1.04 (rather than Fitz). Since JJ, KJ, and SJ were gone at 1.04, that RB would have been Bell. So, the trade allowed him to grab Fitz rather than Bell and hence the different 1.04 pick effect as listed above.

Worst trade ever was Priest Holmes & Issac Bruce for Kelly Holcomb, Duce Staley and first round pick (which was Eric Shelton).

Trade looks a little better today:

 

Alexander -- 73 total yards, no TDs

Bell -- 60 total yards, no TDs

 

K Jones - 96 total yards, no TDs

Fitzgerald -- 13 catches, 155 yards, 1 TD. :shocking:

how many years are we going to do this for? :wub:

btw, don't skew the trade! Fargas and 1.01 for Alexander. Also I think Fitz is a stud.

;) That's solid analysis. :wub: Pick one week and if it looks good then it was a brilliant trade. :banana: Based on that sort of analysis, Da Bomb ought to trade Chad Johnson to Walter for Keyshawn Johnson. :banana:

Actually, I have Keyshawn. But I'll certainly accomodate Da Bomb's needs if he wishes to unfurl CJ.

Defending the Alexander trade... week 6

 

I've decided to add McGahee into the equation too, since I would've been forced to to take a RB at 2.01 had I not had Alexander... I ended up taking Reggie Williams, then traded him for Lee Suggs, then traded him for Willis McGahee. Thus, I'm counting him.

 

Alexander + McGahee = 251.2 points

 

or

 

KJones + Fitzgerald = 119.2

 

:thumbsup:
