Akers (1.05) + K. Allen for M. Sanders and 1.10?

[kmbryant09]

For a RB needy team, which side?

Akers (1.05) + K. Allen for M. Sanders and 1.10?

I just took Dobbins at 4 after CEH / Taylor / Swift.

Do I trade 5 and Allen for Sanders and 1.10 (not sure who will be there yet)?

[LarryJanuary]

I don't think Sanders is more valuable than Keenan to the point of dropping from 1.05 to 1.10 to get it done.

Sanders > KA
1.10 < 1.05

I wouldn’t take Akers at 1.05. I think that’s way too high for him. So if that’s who you are taking than give me Sanders and 1.10. But if you take a better player than I can see a case for KA and 1.05.

[Gator Sens]

Allen and the 1.05 for me.

[kmbryant09]

I'm a little surprised and grounded by the answers & poll results so far, but I really appreciate your thoughts and opinions.

I thought M. Sanders was one of the big off-season winners, with virtually no competition in the backfield. He's coming off a 1,300 yard / 6 TD / 50 catch rookie season despite not being the lead back until week 12 and beyond, and the overall offense should get a nice boost from the WR core.

Meanwhile, Allen's value has really dropped in most leagues. Doesn't seem like anyone in this draft is giving up Lamb / Jeudy / Taylor / CEH / Swift for him, and a lot of others that prefer Dobbins / Akers and then some of the 2nd tier WR's.

Anyways, I'm a team that's in the middle of re-tooling (re-building?) and couldn't find ANY suitors for Allen. And RB's have been treated like gold in this league. I think Sanders' value is in the 1.01 - 1.03 range, and Allen's value is in the 1.05 - 1.08 range. Wouldn't you trade 1.05 + 1.07 for 1.02 + 1.10?

[nicktahoes]

I would absolutely do that for Sanders. He's definitely one of the biggest upside rbs this year and could IMO crack the top five.

I've been trying all sorts of combinations in the league that is team one in my signature and have had no luck.

[Mr. Wizard]

Definitely taking Sanders and the 1.10 here.

Agree that he's a big offseason winner and has proven he can ball in the NFL, and... you know, I'm not gonna tell you someone you draft at 1.10 is a lock to be Keenan Allen, because that'd be foolhardy, but you WILL have your choice of several really, really intriguing WRs.

[kmbryant09]

Bump for the morning crowd, thanks!

Akers is my 1.2.. Eagles will be adding a pesky guy like hyde or D.Freeman. I think Sanders will have an insane season, but i dont have Akers far off sanders.

Less of a sanders knock more of a i LOVE Akers post ... So give me the Akers side with Keenan over the 1.10 add

[kmbryant09]

1.10 pick ended up being J. Reagor.

So I gave up C. Akers + K. Allen for M. Sanders and J. Reagor.

I'd rather have Sanders and 1.10 than Akers and 1.05, but I would rather have my 5th favorite rookie (Jeudy) and Keenan than Sanders and 1.10. I think it's close though and were I an RB needy contender I'd probably prefer the Sanders/1.10 side.

[chubnubbin]

Sanders and 1.10. Sanders is primed to break out this season.

I have Reagor above Akers so thats a damn steal to me.

Agreed...although it's a bit less obvious given that 1.05 could have been Jeudy or Lamb.
