been offered Cedric Benson for the 1.03 Rookie

Postby hobo » Wed Jan 13, 2010 1:22 pm

pick 2010. this is a 16 team dynasty league with 41 man rosters. Not alot out on the waiver wire if you know what I mean.

At 27 and entering a contract year in 2010, Benson seems to have been reborn in Cincy. I'm thinking 1.03 rookie pick is a cheap price for "primary" RB like Cedric Benson.

Am I missing anything?

standard scoring with PPR.

Let me hear from you guys like ASAP.....

BTW, I also have the 1.11 and 1.14 rookie picks and NO he wont take either one of those for Benson. He has the 1.01 and is looking to rebuild with that pick and my 1.03 (received in trade).

QB - Brees, Eli Manning
RB - LT, P.Thomas,JForsett, Norwood, M.Bush, J.Norwood, B.Scott, A.Foster, M.Bell, R.Jennings,
WR - Colston, P.Harvin, S.Holmes,Miles Austin, Mickael Sims-Walker, Manningham, Aromoshodu, S.Logan
TE - KWII, Shockey, Z.Miller
K - G.Hartley

DL - Super Mario, S.Ellis, A.Hargrove
LB - K.Morrison, AJ Hawk, D.Hawthorne, Bart Scott, P.Wheeler
DB - K.Rhodes, Roman Harper, A.Elam

Haven't looked at the draft in dept yet...but expecting it to be deep......as young guys look at no football in 2011.....need the payday.....

But love your WR's, LT getting older, benson would be nice but not sure worth 1.03.......but not bad....

Well for a 16 team dynasty league your team is pretty solid. I do agree with Benson having a good year with it being a contract year for him, but I think with all of your picks you have a real chance to keep your team young with 3 of the first 14 picks. I can see why he wouldn't want to trade a starting rb who is the main man for his team for a unproven rookie. I would keep your picks, hope for a decent rb at your # 3 pick and then possibly look at the 8-9 range, if someone slides and package your 11 and 14 picks to move up. If not I think that you have enough wr depth to make a move if you needed to also. Good luck.

The original deal favored you. Your new deal is a steal. Nice work. ;-D

I would deal the 1.03 rookie pick in a heartbeat for Benson. Gotta figure Benson is good for the next 3 years at least. Plus, the Bengals are now a run-first team. The 1.03 rookie pick (if you look at RB's) will probably be one of C.J. Spiller, Jahvid Best or Jonathan Dwyer. It's way too early to figure where these RB's go -- but it looks as though Seattle, Houston and San Diego are the favorites to draft a first-round RB.

I'm thinking the Seahawks might be the worst of the three teams to have a RB for (and maybe a RBBC with Julius Jones-Justin Forsett) -- so at 1.03 you're looking at the Seahawks' RB. I'd much rather have Benson based on that.
I have the doomsday device!
