From what I’ve seen, the answer from most of you will be NO! Which is kind of the point. I haven’t really thought of Bucky as a buy, more as a falling knife. But generally when everyone is out in a young player that has produced, I’m interested in sniffing out the price. Let’s get the cons out of the way: Late round backs tend to have a good year then go away. Kenneth Gainwell! Health, both physical and mental. The pros: Late round picks tend to fall out of favor, but guys like Chase Brown and Austin Eckler show it’s not impossible. And in general I think that it’s understated that early round picks also fall out of favor. It’s about production. Yes Kenneth Gainwell had a great year, and has a similar skill set. But KG partially had a great year because ARod loved him. Is it unrealistic to think we look back at this in a year and think ‘did I really sell my Bucky shares because of a Kenneth Gainwell signing?’ Bucky is expected to be cleared for training camp. I think of Travis Etienne as a great comp. Two years ago was around rb8, dropped to rb32, and is back up to rb21. Bucky was rb5 this time last year, and is now rb19. This was during a season where he was injured and the Bucs regressed and everyone (Baker, Egbuka) hurt in the 2nd half. I own no shares of Bucky but I think of him like I think of BTJ- worth the cost of the buy low for a young dual threat back that has shown he can be an rb1. Are you out on Bucky or can he bounce back and be a low end rb1? submitted by /u/StrongAmbassador47 [link] [comments]
