Also traded Jordan Howard and dropped from 4.4 to 4.9 in exchange for Hayden Hurst and Darnold to give me a TE.

I like your trade to add Hurst and also your first two selections have big upside and long term value. Nice work.

[Goddard]

Looks like a pretty standard draft. I like the players you came away with, so I'd say you did well.

"This league values RB's very low"

First five picks, not including yours, were all RB's. Lol.

From a trading perspective, it's an accurate statement.
They love their rookie backs but once they get out of that first year, there's no hope of trading them.
One trade in 3 years involving an RB.
I've been trying to trade Gurley for 2 years, no one would look at him even before the injury. Have chubb now, the best offer I've received is a 2nd round pick.

I would’ve gone McFarland over Gibson, but other than that It’s pretty good, I still would’ve gone swift probably over Lamb. And as crazy talented as Gibson is at multiple facets of the game, I think his touches will be scarce

At that price, you should be buying up everyone's RB.
Draft WR and trade for RBs it looks like in your league.
Nice draft.

[WhatWouldDitkaDo]

Looks good overall, though I would've gone with Dillon or Burrow over Shenault. I like the Howard for Hurst deal a lot though.

[dblj1199]

I like the deal for Hurst, pretty cheap and high upside replacing Hopper in Atl. Other than that seems good.

[SteveMaddensShoes]

Like straycatz said, you should have an elite RB core if that's the case. I would think you would be starting Cook/Zeke and CMC or Barkley if what you said was true.
