What is DMAC's value?

[pvballer3915]

What should i be expecting in return for him? I kinda need rbs but at the same time i want another RB. He is still young and has potential. What should i be looking at?

[meineymoe]

Even with Fargas gone, McFadden's value is still extremely low, and you won't get much for him. And with your current roster and draft picks, it could take you awhile to land a topflight RB.

Because I have more faith in DMac improving than I do of Forte recapturing his rookie magic, I'd probably try to move Forte in a move for an RB upgrade - you can probably get more for him than you can for DMac.

Good luck whatever you decide.

If you really want to move him, I would float him out there and see if there is any interest. I've seen him trade for a late 1st or early 2nd. If you can't get close to that, you are better holding and see what happens this season. If Oakland doesn't address their QB position, I have no idea how the RBs there can possibly hope to succeed no matter how talented they are.

McFadden is a hold right now since it's highly doubtful you will be able to get anywhere near the kind of value you paid to get him. I doubt it happens but I would hate to be the owner that sold him for a late first/early second to then see him reach his potential on another team.

For what it's worth, I tried to buy him cheap a few months ago, but they wanted a 2011 first round pick. My team is so bad right now that appears to be 1.1. He's being shopped for a first round pick, if you can get him for a late round 1 pick I think it's worth it. M. Bush is the real gem I'd prefer to go after though.

His value is shot. You're lucky to get a late 1st for him. Probably best to hold onto him.

I wasnt tryin' to low-ball ya, Bert!

I was offering market value.

[MrUbuto]

ya I don't see too much point in trading him when his value is so low right now. i would just sit tight and hope for the best, he'll be alright.

Agreed until the last part of your statement.

lol well I guess we need to define "alright"

I'm still quite high on the guy, a decent rookie season and an awful 2nd season in oakland dosn't tell me much. Is it the man or is it oakland? I'm inclined to say its oakland.. the next question is can he ever get out? or can oakland ever turn it around?

I'd give a low to mid 1st rounder for the guy still

Exactly, so with all of those questions, why would you invest even a low first in a guy like that?

Smells like Reggie Bush Lite to me...

Last month I traded away McFadden & my 2.6 for another owner's 1.7. I'm really happy with that. McFadden would've most likely got cut from my team anyways when it's time to trim the roster. Luckily I have a Raiders fan in the league. Looking forward to having the 1.4 & 1.7 in this year's rookie draft!

[The Pyrate]

McFadden interests me. You will not see his true talent until the Raiders have a QB and an offensive line (so don't hold your breath), but I think he is a good buy-low candidate.

If you have him on the roster, he is a hold (imo). If you can afford to stash him, do so and see. If you can't, dump him and see what you can get. Maybe you too can write a story like jordanzs (good trade btw)!!!!
