Sold Gurley a bit low

[SteveMaddensShoes]

I've decided I don't trust Gurley and let him go. I couldn't get a buyer for all the effort I put into it and ended up selling a bit low. The 1st should be between 1.02-1.09 due to divisions and strength of division new Gurley owner is in.

I gave- Gurley and Lockett
I got - Davante Adams and 2018 1st

Probably going to try and flip the new player and pick for CMC or Fournette. Tried to do that with Gurley and never got it done.

I don't like this trade for you. I don't think you improved your receiver group enough to justify the blow you've given to your running back corps, but I'm probably lower on Adams then most people. I don't see how this move helps you as you're in a sixteen team league that only allows you to start three receivers and requires you to start two running backs.

I think Benjamin and Hopkins are very superior to Adams & I think Diggs is nipping at his heels. Before this move you had three killer starting receivers and a handful of very promising prospects to round out your bench depth. Now you'll when your receivers are healthy you'll have a stud riding the pine and noway for your remaining prospects to help you. Meanwhile you've downgraded from a backfield of Gurley and Mixon (Which is extremely strong in a sixteen team league) to Mixon and a bunch of short term answers and fading prospects.

The only way I think this trade works out for you is if you feel Gurley is on the Trent Richardson trajectory and you just want to get out while you can.

I don't like this, you gave up on Gurley to easily. 1.02-1.07 is quit a range, if it ends up being 1.07 this deal stinks if its 1.02 then its not as bad but I still don't like it.

tiny bit low, you gotta hope Adams becomes the man in GB

[psu007]

Depends entirely on what you think of Adams. If he becomes a perennial WR1, then no issue with it. I just moved him, and don't believe he'll be that, so this is light for me. Lot depends on the pick though.

I think your starting requirements are what makes this a bad move. You needed the RB more than the WR. I also think the hate for Gurley is getting out of hand. Currently he is showing well #preseason, but still he only had one bad year under Fisher...enough said.

[mabeibefunny]

Not a big Adams fan so this is light to me. Think you would have been better off holding onto Gurley in hopes of a good game to come up and then move him for bigger value.

Just flat out hate the trade

[Goddard]

Hopefully for your sake, the 1st ends up being top 3.

I knew everyone would hate it

I posted this for reference oin another thread on what I was trying to get and never got any counters.

"I've tried some combo stuff where I get Sammy and a diffrent back like Tevin Coleman or Duke Johnson for Gurley and Tyrell Williams. I've offered him for Fournette even since his injury, offered him for Gordon, offered him, back to the original owner for CMC or Cook+ and no. Keenan plus a 1st, Gurley plust a 1st for Amari, Gurley for Luck, Gurley plust 2 1sts for Zeke, Gurley plust 2 1sts for DJ, Gurley plust a 1st for Bell. Gurley for 2 1sts and Donta Foreman. Not getting any counters back. Guess his value is lower than I thought."

I don't normally like to sell low, but decided to go with my gut on this one. I just don't see it personally and wasn't willing to so much invested in an RB that I believe could fall in value. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I can live with that. It's pretty hard to go against the consensus and forum advice since I generally follow it pretty closely. But I got enough back in this trade I won't completely wreck my team if I'm wrong. The pick has been top 5 last 3 years and I doubt it gets much higher this year though obviously Gurley could help a decent amount if I'm very wrong on him. Picks do hold a good amount of value in my league so I'd give it a bit more value wherever it falls than a normal league.

More than anything I'm just looking to flip the pick and player for someone else but if I can't i'll live with it.

[MichaelScarn]

Yeah that's pretty cheap for him.

If you could help me out that would be swell

I'm very low on Adams every year and rather high on Lockett this year So I can't say I like this trade. Although I sold Gurley a little low earlier in this offseason (Eifert, Jamaal Williams, 2018 2nd in a Te Premium league) so I can see where your worries came from. I don't dislike moving Gurley but I would've rather seen you land a RB.The 1st definitely helps though a little bit.
My next move would be to use that 1st in a trade to get yourself a new RB to fill for Gurley leaving.
