Skins get Duckett in 3 team deal

[Cowboys&Caps]

say Commanders go 8-8 which is quite likely
say broncos go 11-5 again this could easlily happen.

skins would swap firsts and give up thier third leaving them with the draft pick of teh 11-5 broncos and no second (previously dealt) and no third

while the broncos move up to the 8-8 pick (mid teens) and gain a third

ALL THAT AND THE BRONCOS AND FACONS LOSE A HEADACHE

ghettoghandi, you need to update your sig to "Jared Gaither - The Next Great Thing from U of MD"

Davis has to do it as a Pro first. Most likely why he hasnt changed his sig.

So, the Rams gave a 2nd and a 5th for Marshall in his prime and the skins gave up a 3rd for ......DUCKETT?!??! Good short yardage back for them, but they always give up too much.

 

[Smith22]

The skins just don't care about draft choices apparently. I don't get it at all. Strange deal.

 

[silverbear]

I have never seen a front office that holds such little regard for Draft Picks and the entire draft process. Giving away a third or fourth for a running back?

Worse, a running back who will be an unrestricted free agent next offseason...

 

[silverbear]

This makes perfect sense for Washington IMO. I'm sure they don't like the draft pick loss but Gibbs has to have a back to carry the load in that offense.

But Duckett has never been a "carry the load" type running back in the NFL... for one thing, he has yet to carry the ball as much as 200 times in any season... but even with that relatively light workload, the guy has still missed 9 games in 4 seasons...

That's not my idea of a "workhorse" back...

 

[silverbear]

They don't have a 2nd rounder. That went to the Jets. They might not have a 2nd, 3rd or 4th.

If I were a fan of that team I would hate that with a purple passion.

If the Cowboys ever did such a thing, this ol' draftaholic would have to make a quick trip to Valley Ranch, and 'splain to Jerry that some of us live for the draft...

 

[silverbear]

He's missed 9 games in 4 years.

Not a good record when you consider that he hasn't been the FEATURED back in that stretch... in fact, he's averaged just barely over ten carries a game in that time, and STILL misses time??

How can you reasonably expect any kind of durability from him if you increase his workload??

27 TD in 3 years.

And how many of those TDs were longer than 2 yards?? Duckett was the guy who got the ball down close to the goal line, their battering ram... that does NOT mean he's a threat to score whenever he touches the ball...

Bad move my butt.

A 3rd and a 4th, for a guy who'll be an unrestrictred free agent at season's end?? That's an IDIOTIC move...

Is it public knowledge what the Jets gave up for Barlow this week?

 

[AtlCB]

I missed what they gave intially, wow. I think Duckett's a good back and I'm not happy he's a Commander, but they gave up to much for him.

I live in Atlanta. Duckett is not a good back. He is a marginal runner with no receiving skills and cannot block. Falcons fans are very happy to get rid of him.

 

[Cowboy from New York]

The guy caught 3 passes in '04 and 6 passes in '05 and Gibbs still uses his one back formation primarily. So Duckett won't be threat to line up at H-back or be much of a threat coming out of the back field to expose underneath coverages. Doesnt seem like a good mix for a Gibbs system back( Portis had 30 catches last year).

Duckett will be used in short yardage and goal-line situations.

That's it.



Think Gerald Riggs of 1991.

you got that right Hawaii boy!!!

You guys gave up a 3rd and a 4th rounder for a guy who is just going to run in short yardage situations?

Wow, the trade is worse than I thought.

 

[Idgit]

Duckett will be used in short yardage and goal-line situations.

You won't be in many short yardage or goal line situations with those QBs and with Portis on the trainers table.

No way you make that trade for a short yardage back at this late date.

Isn't it always short yardage with your offense?

Just praying for a yard or two

I think he's underrated and hasn't been given ample opportunity to showcase his talents. That being said once again I think the Skins gave up to much.

The franchise spent a 1st round pick on him. Something tells me they gave him opportunities.

I don't think he was worth that 1st round pick either. However I still think he's a valuable pickup for the Skins, regardless of whether the price was to steep or not. Dunn has always had a way of keeping people on the bench no matter where he's played, so I don't think that necessarily speaks to Duckett's ineffectiveness as a player.

Right. It would be his low YPC that speaks to his ineffectiveness as a player.
