@DannyPhantom24 If all the defenders are gone and Tate has fallen, then trade down and get more picks. Someone will trade up for Tate

If the elite defensive players are taken and WR Carnell Tate is sitting there at pick 12, should the Cowboys draft him and then turn around and trade George Pickens for an early second-round pick? You can still grab two quality defenders and also have Lamb and Tate as your WRs.

@OleTimeHardball Yes

You hold the deciding vote in the Hall of Fame case for Mark McGwire. Does he get in?

@SleeperNFL JT side

Which side would you rather have in dynasty? (Superflex)

@NBA__Courtside Exactly, if the wear and tear on the body is that intense according to some players, taking off 25-30 games if not seriously injured will let you play all out pretty much for 55-60 games compared to a player playing 75-80 games having to keep his minutes a little lower etc

Tracy McGrady on the 65-game rule: “I’m just going to say this, if we’re in a 82 game season, there’s no player that should win an award playing 40 games, 50 games, 60 games. No way. Because if that player played 60 games and the player he’s up against played 75 games, I don’t care how great the player was for 60 games. I’m saying as far as numbers concerned, if that player that plays 60 games versus a 75 game, that’s a big difference, man.” (Via @VinceAndTmac)

@FantasyPros If you trade him the season before he declines, yes. But what if he doesn’t decline for 2 or 3 seasons. Or what if he only declines 5% per season? Depends what you get for him and if you hit on the pick(s). Too many variables to be black and white

True or False: The best dynasty move is trading away your favorite players before they decline

@BloggingTheBoys No, make him play on the Tag for 2 years if he wants more than $34M a year. His talent is there, but he has to realize not many teams will be willing to offer $40M with his issues from Pittsburgh. If he sits out, he gets nothing.

Would you be okay if the Cowboys gave George Pickens $40M per year? bloggingtheboys.com/dallas-cowboys…

@SleeperNFL My bad, the 1.07 makes it totally worth it for the egbuka jones side

@SleeperNFL If your team is ready to win NOW, then Bijon. But long term, if I need a QB & WR, I don’t hate the Egbuka/Jones side now that Evans is gone. The 7th round pick only matters if this is an 8 team league & even if it is only 8 teams, the pick is still almost meaningless.

Which side would you rather have in dynasty? (Superflex/0.5 PPR)

@specsaregood @ClayTravis To be fair, Clay didn’t say it was the #1 reason. He just said “many” parents think it will lead to scholarships. I think that’s true but I also think kids find a sport they like/love and only want to play that sport and then make friends and want to keep playing with them.

@ClayTravis I don't know why people keep saying this; "college scholarship" is not even close to the #1 reason for kids playing sports or their parents spending the money. At least not from any of the kids or parents I know that do it. In every case its because the kids want to do it.

If you’re a parent and you think — spending on kids sports is out of control — you’re not wrong. Look at spending on youth sports since 2019. Graphic via @wsj.

@demcowboysfan @cdpiglet Then keep him on the tag. If he chooses not to play, he’ll end up like Leveon Bell with the Steelers.

@cdpiglet The question becomes does willingly Pickens play on the tag two years in a row

If Dallas has Pickens play on the tag this year & next, that’s a 3 year deal worth 65 million combined, just over 21 mill a year for a 3rd. Great value & then likely a 3rd round comp in return. For teams who use free agency the big tag # would hurt them but that’s not Dallas.

@DanielW1960 @ApexJones22 Don’t think wilt would have made many 3’s if it was around. And I think wilt had a big height advantage if you are going with “advantages”

@ApexJones22 He is not “by far the greatest scorer ever”. You’re referencing point per game, which is what I use as well. His career average is 30.12, Wilt was 30.07. It basically comes out to 17 points. MJ had the advantage of the 3 pt shot, making 581 of them. I think it’s a dead heat.

Facts: MJ is 6th all time in points scored. He has more scoring titles than the top 5 scorers all time, combined He played 15y They played an avg 20y He's 1st all time in PPG None of them are top 5 MJ is by FAR the greatest scorer ever No rivals, dummy

@SleeperNFL Hopefully Dallas never signs him. They have a 2-3 year window, put the tag on him this year and next year and you’ll pay him $28M and $33M and then let him walk and start the rebuild cuz Dak will be on decline. Unless he’s willing to take like $34M avg, which I’m sure he won’t.

How much will George Pickens get in his new contract? (JSN got 4-year, $168.6M)

@GooniesNvrSeyDy @FantasyPros He didn’t specify DYNASTY though

@FantasyPros This is a fact. My first ever dynasty draft i waited on QB and picked up WR’s and RB’s. Now I’m finishing 7th every season with Ja’Mar Chase. Wasn’t worth it. All those RB’s i loaded up on aren’t doing shit while the back to back QB guys are competing for chips each season.

True or False: Top 3 QBs are untradeable in superflex 🤔

@rjochoa MOST OF THE TIME, Cowboys sign players a year late & pay too much. GP was a problem child in Pitt, so we really couldn’t take that chance and sign HIM early until we got him in house for a season. But our own FA’s, we always wait too long and pay top 1-2-3 $ for top 10 talent.

It feels like the conversation for George Pickens probably starts around $40M per year. Imagine if the Cowboys had extended him when they first traded for him? bloggingtheboys.com/dallas-cowboys…

@E_DUBBLE05 @Tizzzzzyyyyyy @Daboys_22 Maybe I’m lucky, both my leagues are hometown &nobody has tried tanking yet. 95% of battle is having good people. Guys have traded good players for draft picks, but never set a lineup that was questionable/incomplete. We also put the last place owner name on trophies each year!

@HaikesMichael @Tizzzzzyyyyyy @Daboys_22 Better than a team tanking all year handing out free wins to everyone. No system is 100% perfect

If you could make one rule change to your dynasty league, what would that change be?

@E_DUBBLE05 @Tizzzzzyyyyyy @Daboys_22 This is a bit flawed, in a 12 teamer, the owner sitting in 6th(last playoff spot) but he knows his team got some lucky wins& really has no shot at beating 3 goods teams for Super Bowl, he might tank the last week or 2 knowing he has a great chance in toilet bowl playoff

@Tizzzzzyyyyyy @Daboys_22 Why would a team who is going to make the playoffs tank? This would encourage teams to always compete and build the best roster possible

@E_DUBBLE05 @Daboys_22 Both my Dynasty leagues, 6 teams that miss playoffs play for draft position. Standings after week 14, 11th v 12th play a 3 week cumulative matchup(winner gets 1.01, loser 1.02). 9th v 10th(winner gets 1.03, loser 1.04). 7th v 8th(winner gets 1.05, loser 1.06)

@Daboys_22 I want the 1st pick to go to the toilet bowl winner and not the team with the lowest wins/least max points

@Jeff_Ermann not angry but I never liked underdogs advancing more than 1/2 rounds. I’m ok with 1 team, but when there were several advancing, I didn’t like it. Underdogs r for non fans who just fill out a bracket or the ‘experts’ who want to tell every1 to ‘watch out for this team’!

Weird how angry this take made some people. It's a harmless sentimental March Madness take. Get your emotions in check, incels

With High Point out, the only chance for a non-power conference team to make the Sweet Sixteen is Utah State. Which has to beat Zona to get there. It's not a fluke. The Sweet 16 was 16 power conference teams last year. Still love the tourney, but it's losing a lot of its charm.

@NFLprguy @AdamSchefter A lot of Safeties on the list
