Had our 12 team PPR Auction Draft this past weekend.
I have Vernon and Olsen at TE and was trying to move one of them and one of my RBs to get Julius.
My Squad:
Stafford/Rivers
DMurray/Stacy/Spiller/Ingram
VJax/Tate/Harvin/ESanders
Vernon/Olsen

His:
Foles/Flacco
Ellington/Rice/Sankey/Gerhart
DeSean/Torrey/Cecil/RileyC
Julius/Gates

I offered him Spiller and Vernon for Julius and Sankey. He countered changing out Spiller for D Murray. Not crazy about that.. Should I stay put or come back with something else. Was thinking Demarco and Olsen for Julius and Sanky or Gerhart

What do you guys think?

not sure if there is much of an upgrade there. Vernon Davis had more yards and TDs than Thomas & finished 2 points behind him overall.

Greg Olsen had more catches and yards then Thomas did. He has nice upside being the #1 weapon in Carolina.

id sit tight.

I would try to get Thomas.

Second year and the guy is gonna kill it.

49ers O looks terrible.

That's what I'm thinking. I just traded for him in exchange for Randall Cobb and Dennis Pitta. I know I paid a premium for him, but in our league we can keep 2 players, based off of when they were drafted (minus 1 round), and keeping him next year will only cost me a 12th round pick, to go along with Alshon Jeffrey counting as an 11th round pick.

My team after the trade:
12 team, 1 point PPR, 4 pt QB TDs.

Drafted 1st in a snake draft, round #s in ():

(8)Matt Ryan
(1)Jamaal Charles
(3)Andre Ellington
(12)Alshon Jeffery
(2)Randall Cobb GONE
(9)Dennis Pitta GONE FOR JULIUS THOMAS
(5)Kendall Wright
Texans DROPPED, no replacement picked yet
Nick Novak

Bench:
(4)Joique Bell
(6)Pierre Thomas
(7)Sammy Watkins
(10)Terrance West
(11)Jarrett Boykin DROPPED FOR KELVIN BENJAMIN AFTER THE JULIUS THOMAS TRADE
(13)Knile Davis
Justin Hunter FA pickup after dropping Texans D/ST

Hope it doesn't bite me in the arse, but I feel like I have good WR and RB depth and may be able to trade for another WR if needed from my bench depth later in the season.
