I love what Gio provides, but this team can be successful with Jeremy Hill getting the majority of the load. He can be spelled by Burkhead who is shifty and can catch passes out of the backfield.
First round picks don't grow on trees. You can never have too many of them. If a team was desperate enough to make that trade (1st round pick for a guy who will never be a bell cow), I'd gladly take it.
If it were literally any other backup on the team, I probably wouldn't even think twice before trading them for a first rounder. Having multiple first round picks is awesome, but I'd rather see us trading our high picks to get some playmakers right now if there are any on the block worth looking at.
I guess I just don't see Gio as much of a "backup" as others. I don't think Hill is going to get the 400 touches/2,000 yards as others do. I think Gio is an important piece of this offense, and I can't see trading that away when we have a team contending for the division and a possible championship.
