Alfred Morris for Ronnie Hillman?


WhoAmI?

Recommended Posts

Someone just offered me Hillman for Morris. At the beginning of the year, I would have laughed hysterically at this. But it looks like Hillman will take Ball's job which automatically makes him a top 10 RB with Peyton. Not to mention he is also used in the passing game. Morris (without the threaat of RGIII) is looking sluggish and is limited because he is taken out on passing downs. The question is, would you accept this trade? I already have Forte, Miller, Tate, and McKinnon.

hillman is solid but you don't know for sure that he'll be the full time starter once ball is health. he's been getting 20 carries a game, but idk if that will last.

 

if you already have those running backs, maybe seek a trade for another position.

It's boom/bust. Morris will always be solid but Hillman you really don't know. One fumble, Ball could come in rush for 100 on like 10 carries and you got yourself a RBBC. Too risky IMO, and I'd keep Morris.

 

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Morris is guaranteed about 15-20 touches a game and when RGIII comes back, the threat of his legs could open things back up for Morris, while Hillman might be involved in a committee once Ball comes back. The trade offer had me thinking though, but I'm not going to get too cute with my lineup. And yeah, I definitely might trade for another position. Thanks you guys.

You have to look at it as who will give you the best chance to score points each week.. Morris already has touches/receptions taken by Helu. It is Hillman's job in Denver right now, Ball may get some work to give Hillman a rest. 

 

Denver's offense will be on the field a lot longer than Washington's offense each week, therefore, Hillman should see more snaps than Morris going forward..

    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
    • Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.
    • In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
