    Would you consider this trade?

    Dee Milliner + 2015 2nd rounder + 2015 6th rounder to get back in the 1st round and select Gurley?

    No. RBs are not first round picks, certainly not one coming off an ACL tear.

    And I sure as hell aren't giving up a player and a 2nd next year for him.

    If Millner + second rounder + sixth rounder = mid first rounder (10 to 21), I would make the trade. However, I wouldn't use it on Gurley.

    Smh if someone gave us a free first rounder for nothing I wouldn't want to take Gurley. This isn't fantasy football you don't take RB's in the first especially not one coming off an ACL injury.

    Gurley and Gordon will both go in the first round easily and both would be gone even if we could get back into the first round.

    This.

    You don't take RBs in round 1. You don't take guys coming off ACLs in round 1 that depend on explosion and cutting and that you have no idea whether they have either talent back.

    The combination of the two?!?

    Oooofa.

    This is the most false thing I've ever seen. Name the last running back to go in the first...

    Instead of you looking it up... I'll tell you... Trent Richardson

    That same draft... Doug Martin and David Wilson 0 for 3

    I could definitely see both RBs going in the 1st. However this trade proposal is giving up too much value to trade up for a RB.

    I'd rather use Milner to move up to 2 or 3 for Mariota.

    Yup. Although I remember really wanting Gio Bernard in 2013.

    I would rather not see Milliner traded. He's still young and could very much still turn out to be a good player.

    I wouldn't necessarily say no to a trade up for Gurley if this regime feels he's distinctly better than the other RBs in this very talented class and they're not giving up much, but I'd rather see them snag a great value in the 3rd on an RB who drops (Jay Ajayi, Ameer Abdullah, Duke Johnson, Tevin Coleman, etc)

    I like Gurley, but I'm not trading up for him.

    Great deal for us but we do not have a 2015 6th rounder.

    MM in the first, Dorsett in the 2nd and Yelden in the third and I'm happy as a clam.
