Jimmy_22 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 We keep two players - not at the same position. I have Alexander, Chad Johnson, and Marvin. Other guy has McGahee. Do I trade Alexander and one of the other two - for - McGahee and a 2nd rounder. That would get me a younger non-foot injured RB while keeping a stud WR - and getting a draft pick.

Bronco Billy Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 We keep two players - not at the same position. I have Alexander, Chad Johnson, and Marvin. Other guy has McGahee. Do I trade Alexander and one of the other two - for - McGahee and a 2nd rounder. That would get me a younger non-foot injured RB while keeping a stud WR - and getting a draft pick. Getting the draft pick is nice, but McGahee is moving to a team that has not moved the ball well on the ground lately. So you would in essence be trading a #1 RB - albeit one who has struggled some - for a #2 FF RB and a player who is equivalent to a 4th round pick, AND you're throwing in a top 7 WR to boot. That's a terrible trade for you. If you really want to move Alexander and a stud WR, you ought to be talking trade with the Gore, Jackson, Johnson, or LT owners and hope one of them doesn't have a second keeper worth a damn. If you can't get a deal done with them, at least drop one of the stud WRs and force someone else to use a draft pick to get them, instead of taking a downgrade at RB to trade away a stud WR.

Crazysight Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Alexander's foot is fine. Don't trade him for McGay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 In one sense, I agree with BB. You can probably do better. I also agree with him that McGahee is not a sure thing this year. However, if you believe that McGahee is going to be a stud (which is not an outlandish opinion to hold), don't scuttle a trade because of what the other guy is going to get. It's one thing to hold out for something good, it's quite another to refuse to do a trade that will help you out of spite. You're going to lose one of your WR. Why not get something out of it? My advice is to shop around for a better deal. If there isn't one to be had, make the trade if you think McGahee's future is bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_22 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Thanks Guys - Keep the opinions coming !!! I'm in the camp of McGahee will be a much improved player in the new system. Lot's of catches out of the backfield will be a plus. I'm not down on Alexander - just concerned with his foot and the downgraded O-line in Seattle. I'll keep shopping as someone may need a stud WR - I'd like to get something out of them, without just dropping them back into the pool.

Avernus Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 yeah, the Ravens OL is not in good shape right now... I'm not big on Alexander, but you should definately pull more in that that off his name alone.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
