12 Team ppr QB/ 2RB / 3WR / TE/ FL
Oof
I wouldn't trade Gronk by himself for all of that, never mind including Pierce and a 1st.
Vetoable and I never say that.
Take Gronk out of it and I still favor the side getting Pierce and the 1st.
I was on the side getting Gronk and I can assure you the other side is a very knowledgeable/successful owner and there was no collusion.
While I'm happy with the trade and I can see the point some of the Gronk supporters are making, the bolded is a strange comment as Mathews was very productive last season, especially in the second half of the season. Thomas caught 77 balls last season and Sproles is now gone and Cooper had a nice rapport with Foles and is still improving.
I think maybe the other owner was a little shell shocked by all of Gronk's injuries as I know he's been actively shopping him around hard. (ETA: Plus he also owns Julius Thomas). One league member has agreed with the masses here so far, and while I thought I made out well I didn't think it was that big of a steal.
In fact I pushed hard for the first to make the deal worth doing for me, since making the deal leaves me with having to rotate either Pierce, Danny Woodhead, Knowshon Moreno or Jeremy Hill at RB, making me long shot for a playoff spot.
I have a pretty good team other than at RB (but thought I'd rebuild a bit based on the strength of the league's top two teams).
