Can we get a first round pick out of Henry?

[ScottLawrence]

Do you think we can get a first rounder out of Travis Henry *IF* McGahee works out for us?



IMO, I think a high first round pick is possible but, I think if we did trade him we would get a second round pick from some team.... He's no gamebreaker and he's YPC are solid but not great.

High first or second round pick.

High first or 2nd? Thats a big diffrence between firsts. Currently Id say Henry trade value was/is late 1st-mid 2nd

[STAMPY]

maybe magahee will suck ass, coming off a big injury and the nfl is a different game folks, and we'll be keeping travis. just judge the backs on production next year. i don't give a **** bout potential. leave it all on the field. regardless, who ever brings it every down and PRODUCES MORE FOR THE BILLS based on there success! Should be the guy to keep. nuff said

[Jeff1220]

3 years
3523 yards rushing
1 pro bowl
27 TDs

I'd say TH is worth a 1st rounder.

[THATHURMANATOR]

We won't get a first for him next year. NO WAY.

[THATHURMANATOR]

I agree with STampede. This year they should let TH and willis battle it out. May the best man win.

If Corey Dillon gets only a 2nd-rounder, then no one will pay a first for Henry. Running backs don't have as much market value as one might think; in the Portis-Bailey trade, it was the Broncos that had to pay extra

Dillon is 29 years old.

Henry is only 25.

And no, I believe the Skins gave up Bailey AND a 2nd rounder for Portis.

Good point, but I think that with Willis taking away some Carries his totals my slip a bit.

I think he meant "high" as in high numbered pick (20-30) or a "low" 2nd rounder.

I have no clue what Henry's value is right now. It really matter s on how well and how many carries Henry and McGahee get.

[TigerJ]

If I were to guess at Henry's value right now, I would guess late first/early second round. The upcoming season will undoubtably affect it. The odds are it will go down a bit because he'll be sharing carries with WM. It's hard to predict though. A lot will depend on the running backs in the draft next year and the circumstances of the teams that need a RB. TH is an otherwise reliable back, with a bit of a fumbling problem. He's not a game breaker, but his productivity is worth something. If there is a run on running backs early in the draft, and a team with some cap issues needs a good running back who comes cheap with respect to the cap, this would be the ideal scenario for Buffalo.

I think a 2nd rounder is all we'll get for him ... no one seems to value RB's that much any more. LDT and Jamal Lewis are the only top-10 RB's that I can think of in the past 5 drafts (although I think Thomas Jones might have been one too, but I'm not sure if that's 1999 or 2000).

Other than those 2 (or maybe 3) and Ron Dayne, I don't know if there's been any other picks in the last 5 in the top-15 even.

I've said it before, getting a RB that can give you 1200 yards is not that hard in today's NFL. Yes, I think Henry is good and will end up having a Curtis Martin-type career, but at the same time, there's still no market at all for RB's right now.
