If You Own FWP/D.Williams/M.Bush (1 Viewer)

[Steel Dillo]

If you did this, what did you have to give up?

Or, if you have one of the top 3 picks, are you trying to acquire M.Bush, Parker or Williams and what did you have to pay to get them?

Is it worth the price of moving up to secure both backs in a RBBC where the RBs split the load 50/50?

If you have 1.1, not a bad idea to pick up Bush. On the other hand, good luck getting the 1.1 just cause you own Bush, Bush is a non-factor right now, a 20 something round pick in dynasty drafts.

If you have 1.2 or 1.3 and are going to take Mendenhall, I would try and get FWP. Also if you have FWP, I'd try and get the 1.2,1.3.

If you have 1.2 or 1.3 and going to take Stewart don't pay the price for Bust D. Willy, If you own D. Willy, my condolences, he just popped.

Too expensive. Could trade FWP to the Mendenhall owner too.

 

[Todem]

I have the 1.2 and own FWP. I am taking Mendy in that draft (if I am not shocked by 1.1 taking him)

 

[silentmark]

FWP owner here with the 1.2 pick and I am trying to see what I can get for them both in a package deal, so far no one seems interested, shrug. If no one can deal, I'll stick and just take Mendy ...

 

[Gamma1210]

I had the 1.2 and took Stewart and had the DWill owner offer a deal which was pretty much the 2.02 for Dwill, so at that price I couldn't turn it down. It all depends on how the situations are looked at. Parker owners are probably hoping he gets most of the carries this year while DeWil owners are probably more likely to give him up.

i agree with this, esp the Bush part. He may look good in minicamps but Oak didnt draft McFadden to be a backup to Fargas or Bush or to be a RBBC. I have Mendenhall in 2 leagues now. In 1, the FWP owner told me I would need to give up a starting back to get FWP to pair with Mendenhall. Too expensive for my tastes as I prefer RM to FWP for the long term despite this seasons potential RBBC. I could see a Taylor/AP or a Taylor/MJD situation where both will have good value this year.If you can get DWill for cheap do it, but i do think he had his chance to be the man and couldnt do it.

Same thing I was told. I laughed and will continue laughing when Mendenhall takes the reigns by '09.Edit to add: I would not let my choice between Mendenhall/Stewart depend on whether I had Parker/Williams. Take the one you believe in, and if that means you end up with a Williams/Mendenhall combo, then you have a flex option in DeAngelo down the road instead of a cuff.

I traded the 1.02 pick away to a guy who was a Williams owner thinking he was moving up to grab Stewart. He drafted Mendenhall over Stewart. Looks like I'm not the only one who thinks the Car RBBC is one to avoid.

That's right. Take the best player and deal with lack of a handcuff later. I'm not a big believer in handcuffs anyway.

I have Parker in one league. I didnt plan on starting him anyway. My team is loaded at RB. If i had the 1.02 i would go Stewart. IMO RM is going to high. He had 1 good year At Ill. Im not convinced he will hurt Parkers production that much. Look how D Wills value has dropped in the last couple of years.. RM value may be the highest it will ever be.. and i wouldnt buy..You could get him halfway through the season for half the price...JMO

That's nothing.The real nightmare is Tennessee.

Because he sat behind a guy in Pierre Thomas, who is the best running back currently on the New Orleans roster? (Not ready to annoint him the next big thing, but Bush has had 2 years to prove he can run consistently between the tackles....hasn't happened).So which is it with people? (Not you in particular) They groan when a RB has too many college miles on them and also when they've only done it for a year. FWIW, I agree 100% with the MJD/Taylor reference above with Mendenhall/Parker.

 

[RaiderBones]

I just drafted Stewart and shortly there after the D. Williams owner asked me if I was interested in getting D. Williams to secure the Panthers backfield. I said sure I would be interested for the right price. He wanted a 1st round rookie pick and something else (he didn't say what exactly) for D. Williams. He got a little upset when I said I don't give 1st round picks for backup RB's. I'm not huge to begin with on securing handcuffs especially for that high a price. D. Williams couldn't beat out Foster and there is a reason why Panthers drafted a running back so high. So I'm not going to pay a high price for a player I see as a backup.

I would never worry about too many carries in college. You dont get worn down at 18-21.. We all have been there.. Now when you hit your mid 20's you cant stay up all night and feel good the next day.. I would rather have a guy that has the track record and isnt backing up a very good RB that is laser fast. JMO

 

[Bri]

He may look good in minicamps but Oak didnt draft McFadden to be a backup to Fargas or Bush or to be a RBBC.

There's chatter already about Bush being healthy finally and his size. Sounds alot like Brandon Jacobs talk really, so of course I think GL back while McFadden does the rest. Hard to make sense of the chatter otherwise

(snip)If you can get DWill for cheap do it, but i do think he had his chance to be the man and couldnt do it.

I figure(and have found) that if someone has him, they are a big fan and trading is tough. He hasn't done too much in the NFL to otherwise rationalize that

Not a college fan but when people say that Omon RB on Philly already has a ton of mileage, it's pretty hard to ignore that. I imagine his case is extreme. Can you name some high mileage college RBs that didn't seem affected by it in the NFL?

How much mileage did LT have on his tired coming out ?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

The price to trade into the top 3 rookie picks is too high unless you really believe in the RB you are taking. I would trade into the top 3 just because I owned the other half (or in Bush's case, third) of the backfield. The only case where its even partially justifiable is Pittsburgh, because they tend to produce big rushing numbers, and if that line gets straightened out, they will have a juggernaut of an offense.

I think the more interesting question is whether you try to acquire DWill/Parker/Fargas&Bush after you draft one of the big 3. I think trading for Parker after you drafted Mendenhall is the most attractive of the three, and in general Parker is undervalued for redraft and dynasty right now.

I don't know, it was a genuine Q

I started this topic after I traded away the 1.08 for Williams. I had the 1.01 which I used for for Stewart after completing the deal to get Williams.The reason I traded out of the 1.08 is because I didn't like the players that were falling to that spot in most of the rookie drafts. Now I'm having buyers remorse because both Ray Rice & Felix Jones were still available at 1.08 in our draft. If I would have known they would slide I would have kept the 1.08.

 

[King of the Wolfies]

prior to the draft, I traded Williams for a 2009 1st. That team has now gone into full blown rebuild mode, and is so far below all the other teams that everyone is assuming that pick will now be the 1st pick in 2009 Thank gawd Stewart didnt fall to me at 1.03.

You should of had buyers remorse immediately after the trade, but the lesson learned is to wait until the pick to make a move like that. I own Parker, and I'm going to feel it out and see where the value is. I'm not opposed to trading him, trading up or just hold. I own Bush in one league and I'm going to hold for right now, unless the McFadden owner approaches me.

I got bit by waiting too long on a trade. I almost had Curtis traded for the 2.07, but wanted to wait until I saw who was picked at 2.06. The other owner then realized who was left and pulled the deal.Cant believe that felix was there at 8 altho I did see him go at 13 once.

if i had mcfadden, stewart or mendenhall i would not even try to get any of their future backups.
