Should I trade for Gurley?

Postby jp4703 » Tue May 14, 2019 6:40 am

The Gurley owner is interested in selling Gurley and we've spoken about a trade but I'm not sure if I should do it. I have a pretty good team I would say its top 4 at least and I'm very young so I'm setup to do very well for the next few years. Here is my roster and the trade the other owner suggested.

Trade suggested: Give: Sanders, Ridley, 2020 First - Get: Gurley, 2020 3rd.

12 Team PPR, TE Premium
1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1 TE, 1FLEX(RB/WR/TE)

QB: Carr
RB: Barkley, Sanders, Barber, Rojo, AP, T. Coleman, Yeldon, Malcon Brown, D. Henderson, D. Foreman.
WR: A. Cooper, C. Ridley, NK Harry, G. Allison, D. Robinson, N. Agholor, C. Coleman, J. Crowder, D. Moncrief, J. Watson
TE: Z. Ertz, T. Burton, J. Doyle, T. Eifert, H, Hurst, D. Waller

This league is IDP also but there's no IDP involved in the trade so I didn't want to list them. I know at the moment my WRs are weak but I'm hoping for D. Robinson to have a good year if Hill is out. I'm actually picking him up in every league.

Would you do this trade? I also think I can get the other owner to drop the price a bit because he also is worried about Gurley miles and knees.
16 team - 42rosters - 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 2FLEX, 1PK, 3DE/DL, 2DB, 2LB, 1DFLEX
QB: D. Brees, M. Stafford.
RB: L. Bell, D. Cook, J. Conner, M. Sanders, A. Blue, J. Ajayi, A. Barnes.
WR: M. Thomas, A.J. Green, J. Jones, C. Godwin, Z. Jones, J. Reynolds, K. Kirkwood, J. Moore, J. Hurd, T. Benjamin.
TE: Z. Ertz, J. Smith, M. Andrews, D. Waller, J. Sternberger.
K: M. Badgley.
DB: L. Collins, J. Johnson, J. Tart, C. Geathers, M. Blair.
DL: C. Dunlap, D. Barnett, J. Casey, B. Graham, G. McCoy, J. Allen.
LB: T. Whitehead, J. Hicks, J. Collins, J. Brown, K. White, G. Avery, C. Barton, B. Cashman, J. Ryan, J. Tavai, Q. Williams.
Picks:
2020: 2, 4, 4, 5
2021: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

If he would drop the 2020 1st out of the deal, I would make that deal. That is a real long shot, but the Sanders hype is pretty wild at the moment. I would want to hold your 1st as your team does not look like a contender even with Gurley.

I wouldn't give your 1st with the uncertainty around Gurley's knees. Respectfully I don't think your team is top 4 with or without Gurley so I think your 1R pick will be pretty valuable next year. If Gurley falters, you already own his lottery ticket backup, and if he doesn't, you can take a shot on a loaded RB class next year.

QBs: Wentz, Big Ben, Darnold, Murray, Bridgewater
RBs: Chubb, Mack, L. Miller, Monty, Foreman, Henderson, Ballage, Armstead, R. Anderson

TE: Howard, Njoku, Reed

Picks:
2020: 1-4
2021: 1-4
2022: 1-4

Team 2 - 10 Team PPR SF - QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 2FLEX, 1SF

QBs: Mayfield, Watson, Jimmy GQ, Grier
RBs: Barkley, Sony, Lewis, D. Thompson, Love
WRs: Thomas, OBJ, AB, Kupp, ARob, C. Ridley, Alshon, MVS, Chark, Gordon, McLaurin, Quinn
TE: Burton, Walker

You will have an issue at WR yes, but I believe getting elite players at a discount outweighs roster issues during the offseason. There is a lot of time left to fix that issue. Come the beginning of the season next year Gurley's price will rebound and you can resell him for twice as much as what you paid.

But at the moment if you can get rid of the 2020 1st and he/she drops the 2020 3rd. I think this is a snap accept.

I should clarify that I would take this trade as-is now. Just dropping the 2020 picks makes this even more enticing for me.
