Just curios who was there at RB when you took VD.............your first 3 picks were HR's for sure though.

Just curios who was there at RB when you took VD.............your first 3 picks were HR's for sure though.

The next 10 RBs taken after I picked Davis was

LeVeon Bell (Rd 4)
CJ Spiller (Rd 5)
Frank Gore (Rd 6)
Ben Tate (Rd 6)
Ray Rice (Rd 7)
Chris Johnson (Rd 8)
Andre Ellington (Rd 8)
Trent Richardson (Rd 8 by me, which it wouldn't let me draft Gerhart)
Steven Jackson (Rd 8)
Toby Gerhart (Rd 8)

 

[iowajerms]

Team with Sproles has...

RB - Pierre Thomas
RB - Frank Gore
WR - Santonio Holmes
WR - Torrey Smith
FLEX - Joique Bell

Bench - Shane Vereen
Bench - Darren Sproles

Should I try to trade with him?

Should I try to go with 2 bench WRs (Maclin and Terrance Williams) for his 2 bench RBs? Or will nothing hurt going for 2 WRs for Sproles?

Andre Ellington (Rd 8)
Trent Richardson (Rd 8 by me, which it wouldn't let me draft Gerhart)
Steven Jackson (Rd 8)
Toby Gerhart (Rd 8)

I would have been all over Bell with the VD pick. Crazy how Ellington fell bellow Gore, Rice and Johnson total steal.

 

[iowajerms]

Should I do a VJackson & Maclin for Sproles trade proposal?

 

[TKOSpikes]

If you're putting VJax in, I'd ask for Vereen too (and maybe you throw in Moreno?)...probably hard to get two backs though...might be better off trying Decker and Maclin for one of them.

Okay. My friend told me she's (I found out it's a she) a NE fan and so Vereen might not happen. But I'll give it a try, if not, i'll do Decker/Maclin for Sproles a try.

Thanks.

The Free Agents (Top 5 ESPN has listed)

QB - Alex Smith, Geno Smith, Eli Manning, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Chad Henne
RB - Rashard Mendenhall, Donald Brown, BenJarvis Green-Ellis, Bilal Powell, Dexter McCluster
WR - Marvin Jones, Riley Cooper, Brian Hartline, Jerricho Cotchery, Harry Douglas
TE - Tony Gonzalez, Jared Cook, Timothy Wright, Brent Celek, Garrett Graham
D/ST - Ravens, Colts, Giants, Titans, Dolphins
K - Jay Feeley, Shaun Suisham, Graham Gano, Ryan Succop, Rob Bironas

 

[TREFF]

Just so you know. .Mendenhall and Gonzalez are retired so don't go there.

I think TKO has you in the right track. . But I'd leave open your options a little. Theta gotta be a team more stacked at RB than this one who might be easier to trade with.

 

[tlance]

I don't think Sproles is any better than Donald Brown, so I would just drop your 3rd QB and pick up Brown.

Trading 2 solid WRs for an RB is a good idea in theory, but not if Sproles is the guy. He is getting older and his role in Philly is not going to be the same as it was in NO.

If you trade VJax, you need to get an RB like Ellington. That might actually be your best play.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

please, please, please don't trade Terrance Williams for Sproles.
DEFINITELY do not trade VJax for Sproles.

Think about this: Sproles avg 77 catches and 7 TDs the past 3 seasons for the Saints. That was on a team that passed as much as any other team in the entire league over those years.
2013: Saints 651 PA, 4th in NFL; Philly 508 PA, 27th in the NFL
2012: Saints 671 PA, 2nd in the NFL
2011: Saints 662 PA, 2nd in the NFL

Not useful to look at pre 2013 Philly pass attempts, since Chip Kelly is at the helm, and not pass happy Andy Reid. Also, Sproles never had to contend with a stud RB that also is a great pass catcher, unless you count the days in SD when he never even sniffed the field, outside of KR/PR duties.
Either way, Sproles is not the backfield running threat he used to be, is more of a specialty WR that lines up in the backfield.

I am not high on Sproles even cracking the top 30 RBs this year, personally.

If you wanted Gerhart, and he lasted all the way to the 8th round, he might be a good target to trade for, imo.

 

[TKOSpikes]

For the record, I wasn't being specific to Sproles. Just giving a tier to look at. Although I think Sproles will be just as productive as always...maybe more with more rush attempts in his future.

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

I'd wait before dealing Richardson. I think he was playing with broken ribs and another serious injury last year. He could be a comeback player of the year candidate.

Your RB1 and 2 should hold you over until there is a more clear picture of things to come. I wouldn't ruch to make any trades for a RB 3 at this point when you could land someone from the waivers for next to nothing.

I'm sure you can get lucky and find a valuable sleeper if you tried. Look to any of these is they haven't already been drafted.

Mark Ingram
Shonn Green
Lamaer Miller
Terrence West
Carlos Hyde

I got the trade with VJackson, Maclin, and Moreno for Vereen and Sproles. She also dropped Joique Bell

Dump that third QB for Bell! Christ, if you had known she'd do something that ridonkulous you could've asked for him in the deal!

I'll try to just pick up Bell in waivers. If I get him, I will drop Tannehill or McCown. I am thinking dropping Tannehill. I think McCown is in a better situation.

I think the trade becomes final tomorrow, I found out the rest of the league can turn the trade down. I don't think they will though. There's no big names involved.
