I just feel...sad...traded away Gurley...

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

I just feel...sad...traded away Gurley...

Postby Buckhill Bombers » Mon Jun 07, 2021 6:39 pm

for a 2 spot bump in the middle of the 2nd round of a rookie draft. Doesn't that seem pitiful that a once great RB is now worth almost nothing? Anyone else drop or dump him for almost nothing?

When it's over for a RB, it's over quick. I always try to sell too early versus too late.

I can’t believe someone bought him. What’s the point?

I think its clear that the mighty RBs can fall quickly. Whos the next one? Barkley? Will Zeke take another nose dive this year? Are we looking at Kamara plunging if Hill is the QB?

Its one of the reason I like building around WRs and then filling in the RB position with cheaper vets and rookies.

I sold him mid-rookie draft last year for a 2020 3rd(Joshua Kelly....meh) and a 2021 1st, which I was able to use to draft........ Kyle Pitts! Boom! That's what i'm talking about. Woooooo!

I've full-on adopted the trade em a year early vs a year to late. I traded Zeke this offseason plus a 2021 2nd(2.06) for Swift. That was before the kneecap biters went all type A back, type B back on us. Still, I'd rather have the younger ppr asset.

It's sad about Gurley, but it's inevitable that many of these RBs aren't going to be super valuable after their first contract, or 4-5 years in the league.
