To all of you who previously said that Ricky was worth a 5th rounder, would you trade him now for a first round pick? I bet there are several teams who would come foward. (Philly comes to mind) What do you guys say now?

Well, if he has a good season with nearly 1,000 yards and a high per average carry then a team may give up a 1st rounder for him. More likely a second or third rounder although why trade him if he has more value to the team as a runner? If both Ricky & Ronnie can stay healthy then that could be a devastating 1-2 punch.

I doubt any team would give much for Ricky right now, certainly not a 1st. BUT...to this team, right now, Ricky's value is priceless....no way would I trade this guy unless the offer was amazing.

Why would you want to make the dolphins a worst team? Rickey Williams is as good as any back in the league.... period!

That's it right there. The better Ricky plays, the more value he has for the Phins by staying on the team. His contract is nothing when you look at other backs around the league. There really is no point in trading him. IMO the people who want to trade Ricky are the ones who are still bitter he left.

he wasn't worth a 1st rd pick when NO traded for him then when you traded for him so why would he be worth one now after 2 teams got burned?

As much as I can't stand him, why would we trade him now. He's cheap, very good, and is obviously focused again! Maybe next year when he wants a ton more money than the minimum.
