Melvin Gordon Trade...Help!

Postby Top Gun » Tue Jun 28, 2016 9:16 am

Would you rather I trade my Diggs straight up for Melvin, or my very late projected '17 1st (could be 1.12) for Melvin? How do you think this works for my team? What are your thoughts on Melvin's potential vs. Diggs' potential?

I'm low on Diggs so I'd prefer to trade him. Worst case if you trade the '17 first and you run into some bad luck you overpay huge for Gordon. Best case I think you're still giving up more than what Diggs will be worth after this year.

I'd do that for sure. I'm not super high on Diggs but even if you were, he's not worth that much. I'd much rather take the chance on Gordon getting his act together.

I prefer Diggs to Gordon. I'm a believer in Diggs though.

Is the late 2017 1st for your team? I wouldn't feel safe projecting that as late.

No, I traded for a '17 1st from a team that could easily win the whole thing this year.

Ahh. Well depending on how you feel about Diggs the value is there to trade him for Gordon. They are only 4 spots apart in June ADP.
