Latavius and 1.02 or Hyde and 1.05

[joshnco]

PPR 12 team league. Which side do you like and why?

[RightlegTucker]

Hyde and 1.05,

Gurley/Gordon>Hyde
1.05(White/DGB)>>Murray

Latavius and 1.02. I think SF drafts another RB, so I think Hyde vs Latavius is a toss up at the moment. I like what is going on with the Raiders too, they have a nice young group of talented players who will develop together and I think Latavius is a big part of that plan.

The hype is all on Murray atm, so that's the side I would take.

I'd flip Murray, I don't think he'll last as a starting RB.

I agree with the poster above, I think SF rolls with a time share at RB.

Give me one of the rookie RB's
Hyde and Murray are close enough in value to me I will take the better draft pick

I'm not asking facetiously, so don't take this wrong. But do you find this possible in your leagues? I mean, if a guy is getting hyped up and you buy him, do you find that you were the 'sucker' in the league who actually bought into the hype? Or are you usually able to turn around and sell a guy for more?

Niners won't draft another RB high, they may take a guy late, but Hyde is going to start. The Raiders are more likely to draft another back, Mcfadden won't be re-signed, and MJD is done.

I'm a Raider fan, and I wish that were the case. Murray isn't nearly as good a RB as Hyde.

Really? Because they've spent a high pick on rbs the last three years or so even when the had more talent in the stable.

I didn't say he was as 'good'...just that they are close enough in value...closer than 1.05 and 1.02 imo
I just don't see what everybody seems to see in Hyde.

Truth is I am not sure Hyde/1.05 would get 1.02 from me. I definitely like Gurley/Gordon more than Hyde by enough I am not sure White/Parker would make up the difference for me and I like both players quite a bit

I agree with that assessment about the trade. I like Hyde, I think he's a good running back, but Gordon/Gurley, at least coming out of college, are superior talents. They both look better than Jeremy Hill did in college as well. Hyde is, IMO going to be an above average starting RB in this league, but Gordon and Gurley have the ability to be on another tier, if they can translate their skill sets to the NFL. I would definitely consider that trade, but I'm not sure I could pull the trigger on that either.

As for Murray's value, I don't think it will be where it is for long. I would be looking to unload him before the NFL draft, where the Raiders probably draft another RB at some point. The 49ers drafted Hyde, and actually traded up in the 2nd to acquire him. They have a lot more invested in him (in terms of belief in the player and the value of the pick) than the Raiders do in Murray, a 6th round pick.

[RightlegTucker]

I think Gordon/Gurley are clearly above Hyde, but I also think 1.05 is so far out in front of Murray that it tips the deal in Hyde's favor. Your call OP, but if you have Hyde I'd try to get a nicer piece than Murray in that trade.

[Shoreline Steamers]

Gordon/Gurley are the pieces I'd be interested in adding here (1.02). I agree that Latavius is a flyer, and don't have a ton of faith he'll turn into a reliable starter for any length of time. I like Hyde more than Murray, but don't believe Hyde approaches Gordon/Gurley in terms of talent or potential.

For that reason I'd go with 1.02 and Murray. The drop from Murray to Hyde isn't an issue of you're also adding either Gordon or Gurley.
