Preseason trades are always tough to grade because we still don't know how any of these players are going to perform in 2023. So I'll be leaning heavily on roster construction, my personal draft values, as well as the actual auction prices paid.
Trade 1
Nick receives Dalvin Cook ($13)
Weissbard receives Tyler Allgeier ($4) and Jamaal Williams ($7)
The dollar amounts here are shockingly close based on the draft, and I have them about the same, which makes this seem like a win-win. Weiss gets an obvious Bijan handcuff, as well as a flex option and trade bait in Jamaal. Nick gets a startable RB for the first few weeks, but I don't really see the logic on his side. Since the trade went down, Jamaal's stock has only gone up, which doesn't officially factor into the grade, but was obviously a potential outcome here. The team most affected here might be Zacherman, who sees his Breece and Kamara handcuffs change hands. Historically Weissbard has been easier to trade with than Nick, and Jamaal fits the true handcuff mold better than Dalvin, so I'm happy if I'm Z.
Nick Grade: C+
Weissbard Grade: B+
