I have the 1.03. I'm 99% sure 1.01 is taking Love. Is there a big enough difference between Tate and Tyson to warrant a move up to 2? Of course, Lemon is right up there, too, but I already have Davonte Smith, so he's definitely down the list.

Which one would you move up for? The fact that I’m even asking means probably not.

My preference is Tate. I think he’s going to be an immediate impact in TEN since they have no real #1, and Tyson’s injury history makes me nervous.

But I might just be over thinking it, which is why I asked

Ok, wasn’t sure if your Saints fandom was pushing you to Tyson.

I have a slight preference for Tate for the reasons you mention, but I wouldn’t give anything of substance to move up. Maybe 1.3 and 2.3 for 1.2 and 3.2, since I don’t think there’s a whole lot of value at 2.3 compared to 3.2.

I want to be wrong about Tyson- I have a feeling I'll end up with him, which is OK, I just wanted to ask the question before I even asked 1.02 what it would take. I think I'll just hold tight and see what happens.

In the very little research that I have done, Tate is VERY popular amongst the "experts." Tate basically walks into the #1 WR spot and apparently all of the things he does well mesh with what Cam Ward does well. They did a great breakdown of him in the after draft podcast on Yahoo with Matt Harmon and Justin Boone.

I don’t think moving up from 1.03 to 1.02 is worth it.
Just take whoever falls to you out of Tate/tyson.
I actually slightly prefer Tyson but there’s no real difference in trying to move up one spot.
If you’re not high on Tyson, I’d entertain moving back a few spots to get some additional capital if you’re ok with any of Mendoza price or lemon.

We drafted last night- I took Tyson at 1.03, Lemon at 1.08 and Chris Brazzell at 2.09. Going into the draft, my top WR was Devonta Smith, so I feel like I came out of the draft pretty well. I did have an offer for Christian Watson and the 1.06 for the 1.03 and 2.03. The math didn't work out, though.

Tate over Tyson but not by much. Tate profiles as the 1 long term almost guaranteed. Tyson is very TBD - he’s good enough for it, but Olave is a solid 1 already

Was it Superflex and TE premium? If not I don’t understand how Lemon fell that far.

I couldn’t believe it, either. Jadarian Price, KC Concepcion, Mendoza and Eli Stowers were the picks between them.

I wouldn’t move up and I would take either one at three. As a Titans fan however I will say based on the available weapons Tate is going to have a big role in the offense.

I imagine Tate gets more balls thrown his way year 1 which is why I would lean towards him. The Titans don't have as many weapons.

Tyson has a higher ceiling, but I don't know if it's year 1. I think I like Tyson more in a keeper league draft though.

I like Tyson more but I’m not moving up for him. I’m not high on ward and I believe Tyson is more talented than Tate. Honestly I rather have price over Tate.
