Braelon Allen vs Jaylen Warren
I was thinking of making this trade to acquire Allen.
My other RBs are Taylor, Brown, Corum, Estime. I have picks 1.05,1.07,2.01,2.03, so I’m likely to draft at least a couple RBs
Which gamble do you like better?
Case for Warren:
If/when Najee leaves, they probably get another thumper back. If it’s a rookie, maybe Warren takes a 65/35 split and becomes a top 15 back with ppr benefits. Similar to Chase Brown last year, but as a bigger piece on a worse offense.
Case against:
they keep Najee or get another similar back and Arthur Smith continues to Arthur Smith. At 26 years old, he’s halfway through his chances to produce top numbers.
Case for Allen:
Slight chance that Breece leaves, slightly bigger chance Breece gets injured. Allen looked great at times and is 21 years old.
Case against:
Breece stays and it’s a 70/30 split. He’s the bigger upside version of Blake Corum
In short: Allen bigger upside in dynasty, Warren is the safer 1-2 year floor with some potential to a clearer path for opportunities.
