If we can get a decent replacement for Betts, why not? IMO, a 2nd rounder is worth more than an insurance policy RB who put up 300 rushing yards last season.

I agree.

No, we shouldn't trade Betts for nothing. But if we can get draft picks for him and trade him before his roster bonus goes through, we can win this deal.
