Well, which would you rather have? the 1.4 or 1.15-25 & 2.3? look at how fast the talent level dropped from the first half of first round to second half. Minny just picked up two elite WRs with the 1.3 & 1.4 picks. WR is the most important position in this game, that's where you want to put your picks & $$$, take a look at the top playoff teams and league stats/standing for pass offense if you doubt it. You dont get one of those elite WRs past the first 10 picks normally, and there usually isnt four elite WR like the group we had this season.
So, compared to the current draft, Ritzi got a WR with 96 speed and 100s in skill atts, about as good as you can get in a WR. There were four very good WRs and he got two of them. At the 1.25 pick or later, you have default values averaging in the high 70s, and one WR selected with a default of 70, speed 80 with a catch/68. And second round this draft is pretty poor. Just so you know for future decisions, I would have gladly traded my first and second pick and third pick along with a starter for your 1.4 and your 7th. I dont think the 1st round pick from Ritzi is going to end up being in the top 15 next season, unless his defense stays the same, so that's a 50/50 chance there. Overall, it will be interesting to see how the 1.4 elite WR compares to what you got with the 2.3 (A good to average Center? dont understand that pick based on your starter) and next seasons first rounder. A WR like that one is usually good for 1500 yds and 9 TDs or more. The final evaluation on this trade is going to be where that first round pick ends up and what you do with it, best of luck :) cheers
