Jerick McKinnon Thread

[jomaed]

Are there any FA RBs out there that SF could bring in better than Breida or Morris? Could alway make a trade but that seems unlikely.

I only own McKinnon in one league and if I can get a 2nd and an upside player for him I'll be happy.

[Dr.Graffin]

Darkwa is the only one that came to mind, but it's no slam dunk he's better than either of Morris or Breida.

I loved rereading this thread. Some dudes are eating shi+ right now and i love it.

That's a lame attitude, considering it's not actually poor performance that's derailed McKinnon now.

[Pullo Vision]

If he gets injured year one of being brought in to be the guy it tanks his value.

Catching up on this thread, this seemed noteworthy.

Thats only been half of this guys problem. The other half, wouldnt ya know it, being hurt.

[Pullo Vision]

His cap impact suggests he's guaranteed at least two years on the roster. I think he'd have to look pretty bad prior to such an injury to completely eliminate himself from competing for the lead role in 2019. That said, an early injury would almost completely wipe out his value on a near permanent basis as owners can only be burned so many times before they just assume failure is inevitable.

Sold Breida for a midish 2nd earlier this off season to the McKinnin owner. Guess solid move by him, would be nice to have that depth now tho

Probably just Joe Williams or another out-of-work Shanahan guy.

FWIW, Mostert is intriguing. He played with the 1st unit the first game of the preseason. The coaches like his work ethic and professionalism, and he made a nifty 1-handed grab on the first drive of the game. I don't know if he made the cut because he was good on special teams (he was) or if he did well as a RB (he did) or both, but it's note worthy.

At least he was just a ww pick up last year for me... Hopefully he comes back next year and I can seek him this time next year, or just keep him and hope he comes back strong

[jman3134]

Here's an interesting exercise for determining whether or not to put a premium price on a player. If said player gets hurt, is he virtually guaranteed the same role next year. I don't think you can say that with any degree of certainty for McKinnon, and so therefor I would not put a premium price on him. And by premium price I mean roughly an early-mid 1st, depending on how the draft class shakes out.

Welp, I guess we'll get to see how this thought experiment plays out in real time.

The DD jinx. Better dump Kerryon while you can!

this is why I sold Tevin Coleman instead of waiting on him to become a FA and sign somewhere.

you just never know...

he's missed 1 game the last 3 seasons

I don't understand your rationale or the similarities between Coleman and McKinnon's situation currently.

Coleman is where McKinnon was last year. A #2 behind a back that the team has invested in for the future.

Hell, if you wanted to sell Tevin you should have waited until this offseason. Selling McKinnon prior to yesterday would have brought a nice haul. Tevin may offer similar value this time next year.
