Overpay to secure title run?

This is the place for team advice - should I make this trade, should I draft that player, etc.

Overpay to secure title run?

Postby gerg4747 » Thu Oct 19, 2017 5:38 pm

Team in sig. contender. 4-2. Third place. Most points scored.

Send: 19 1st and two 20 1sts
Receive: Jordan Howard and early 18 2nd

Thoughts? Very thin at RB. Lost OBJ. Trying to make a push.

I mean sure, but how'd you already end up with 2 2020 1sts? Can't see any Howard owner being interested in that, personally, but if offered go at it. If and after you win the ship, sell AB in offseason to recoup more youth

I don't see you being a heavy favorite to win this year, but if that's all it takes to get Howard you should do it just for the value

I would wait a bit and see who sells closer to your trade deadline when teams are out of it and looking to sell. You may not get someone as young as Howard but I bet you could get as much production for less.

I don't think adding Howard secures anything, unless you're absolutely positive a high end RB2 low end RB1 would do that.

Also I know they are wayyyy in the future, but that's still 3 1sts and I wouldn't pay that for Howard.

Agree with some of the above...not sure Howard puts you over the top, and even then that might be a little too much.

Hells. Yeah. Almost regardless of team situation.

Let's call the early 2018 2nd that you'll receive in return equal, at worst, to one of the two 2020 1sts.

You're giving up a 1st in 2019 and a 1st in 2020 for one of the better and more productive young RBs in the game. Absolutely. Don't think twice.
