dbflaBill Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 IF MG leaves, obviously RB is now a weakness. IF a team is willing to give up a 1 for Hughs, would you trade him to get back into the 1st round to draft a top 3 rb? I mean I'd give up Hughs for a 1 immediately regardless. But in this scenario strictly just for a RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I wouldn't trade Hughes unless they drafted Thomas. I don't care about the top 3 backs in this draft. It is PLENTY deep for a team looking for a #2. I would think one of their 5th round picks will be used on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I'd rather just draft a RB with the extra 5th we're getting for Gilly. Or trade that 5th to Dallas for Alfred Morris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I don't think it's smart to draft a first round RB to replace a back up RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 In the strongest RB draft in two decades? To replace our backup who was unemployed last November and we signed off the street. I'm going to go with "no" on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to go with "no" on this one. you're not just replacing a number 2. History shows that RB hit a wall at 30, indicating that McCoy's wall is coming soon. You need to draft to prepare for the future. Right now if MG leaves there is no future RB on the team. Thats a huge problem for a running team with a maybe avg QB. Williams hasn't done a thing to prove he is good enough to play. While many want a RB that average 5.7 yards a carry for 2yrs to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 we replaced him with MG 5.7 How hard could it be to replace 6 carries per game? We still have Shady right? Cool that's all I care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasNootz Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 RB is about the easiest position to fill.... I'd take a 1st for Hughes, but I wouldn't blow it on a RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
