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

Carlos Hyde Versus Melvin Gordon?

Postby hamburglar » Thu Mar 24, 2016 1:42 pm

Any thoughts?

I feel like I prefer Hyde. Both guys are talented yet fragile-- Gordon is 2 years younger.

Both teams are a mess.

Thoughts?

I'll take Gordon. He's in a much better situation and, if I remember correctly, that o-line was decimated by injuries last year. At the very least them being healthy will be a great improvement. They'll likely also invest a pick or 2 into it in this draft. I don't like the guy but I think he has no where to go but up. On the flip side, I think Hyde's situation is getting worse. Kelly is the perfect pick to continue the 49er's downward spiral. I applaud them for finding a coach that fits so well with their current philosophy. That offense is awful and needs to improve everywhere. Their defense is also pretty atrocious. if we learned anything from the Eagles the last couple years is that defense is going to be on the field a lot. That's going to make them look even worse. They will likely be playing from behind every game which I guess could be good for his PPR numbers. It won't be good for his rush numbers. Plus, he's 2 years older!

Gordon pretty easily for me. I don't think anyone ever got rich predicting what Chip Kelly was going to do with his players. I think there is a good chance that the 49ers draft a RB high enough this year to hurt Hyde's stock.
