Re: Jacksonville backfield, who is the guy?

I see both sides. A 3rd is the battle ground on this issue. I'd think we all sell for a 2nd happily. If not then you need to reassess, imo.
Saying that it doesn't cost you anything to hold is just wrong. It costs you a 2md round pick if someone offers you that and you decline.
I like Robinson, but look at all the guys who were like Robinson who actually PERFORMED ON THE FIELD. The Zac Stacy's and
Thomas Rawls who were pretty good and suddenly, poof, they are gone. Pedigree counts for so much unfortunately. Alot of what it counts for is likely behind the scenes value that we don't understand either. Guys who can't get along, who don't learn playbooks, who argue and ignore coaches, who are late to meetings, Yada Yada. With a 1st or 2nd round draft pedigree though, teams seem to put up with more or maybe it was never the problem to begin with.
I think I used to swing for the fences more but realize that dynasty, like almost every skill or path in life, is an ACCUMULATION of asset, talent and value over time. An accumulation of small wins and little gains here and there. Picking up a guy and trading him for a late 2nd might have landed you Cooper Kupp, Diggs, Mahomes, Aiuyck, AJ Dillon, Antonio Gibson, etc. Would you bust some of those? Obv. But that 2nd is more likely to turn into a 1st as well. If Robinson tears it up week 1 and goes for 100 and a td, what does that mean? Can you get a 1st? Probably not. What if Gibson does the same? Suddenly his value is in the early mid 1st range. Because of pedigree.
It's a long game. I get wanting to grab the next foster and Holmes. But go for the value if you can.

(Obviously JRob WAS worth more than a 2nd at one point, but under the VERY BEST of circumstances he was worth a 1st when EVERYTHING broke right for the season, no injuries, no other RBs, high volume, high level of performance, etc and he still couldn't hold his value.

Yes, I am being a dick about this. I've waited all year for this and am now enjoying it.
Hopefully for JRob owners and JRob himeself he gets another chance and proves me wrong.
