That trade was offered to me out of the blue after getting a few offers for Maclin involving Patterson coming back to me - which I didn't particularly like. My only hesitation in accepting this one was that I also own Foster and would like to trade him this offseason and not having Blue to package with him would make it more difficult to do so. But I like Andre Williams enough that it wasn't worth losing the deal over trying to swap out Blue (who other than being a handcuff to Foster, for now, I'm not very high on).What is Team A thinking?

I'm a big Cooks fan so I don't think its that outrageous that the guy had to add a second to make it work. I think with two potential stud RBs coming out (and with the current dynasty RB landscape looking pretty barren) the 1.01 holds a lot of value.Not sure why the Brown side had to give up a pick in the deal.12 team PPR, RWWWTFF.

one of the rare times we agree Doc, 1.01 is a sure fire RB1 and darn tough decision. Cooks is a great prospect.

the funny thing is he sends the most off the wall offers (favoring his side) and was touting Andre Williams as a stud to me a few days ago. I don't see a big difference between Maclin and Kelvin. Williams isn't a stud in PPR although apparently he caught 3 balls in the last game. His upside is Michael Turner because of no passing game chops but Giants have significant issues in the line and he may be second fiddle for next year to Jennings when healthyWhat is Team A thinking?

I was the side dealing Brown. I see where you're coming from, but I'm pretty high on Cooks, and would take him late 2nd in a startup. So to me this was like trading a 1st for a couple 2nds in startup. I didn't mind adding a rookie 2nd to get that done.Not sure why the Brown side had to give up a pick in the deal.12 team PPR, RWWWTFF.

Since when is the 1.01 a sure fire number rb1? The last 2 guys that were pretty much the for sure 1.01 at running back haven't done that well. Ingram and Richardson.

What would Ingram and Richardson have to do with Gurley or Gordon's career projection? Are Andrew Luck and EJ Manuel the same because they're the first QB's taken in their respective draft classes?

First off the Luck vs. Manuel is a horrible comparison. Richardson was supposed to be the best running back prospect since Peterson and now Gurley is, so to assume any prospect especially a running back is a sure thing isn't a winning strategy. Look at the landscape of rookie running backs recently. Things in the NFL are changing. Leveon Bell was the 4th or 5th best rookie back and now he is the best from that class. Sankey was the highest drafted running back in most rookie drafts this year. Now he would be a 3rd rounder behind about 6 or 7 other backs. Look at Richardson, Martin and Wilson from 2011. So, yes he sold Brown light who might be the number 1 receiver in dynasty right now.tdmills said:What would Ingram and Richardson have to do with Gurley or Gordon's career projection?

sankey is a horrible comparison and was taken by people who were desperate for RB help.You completely missed the point that was explained to you. Each prospect is completely different. Gordon & Gurley are special talents. Just because Richardson failed does not mean they will. Richardson got by with running blind behind the Bama OL and nobody could have anticipated how bad his vision actually is....First off the Luck vs. Manuel is a horrible comparison.

I didn't and wouldn't use the terms "can't miss" or "sure fire" when it comes to evaluating prospects butmy point was that right now the 1.01 has tremendous value based on the potential of the two RBs vying for that draft slot. As an exercise try to come up with dynasty RB rankings of your own (or look at a list)...you'll be amazed at some of the guys that ar currently in the top 10, top 20, etc.First off the Luck vs. Manuel is a horrible comparison.

I'm not disputing the point of "a sure thing" for a RB. I'm disputing your point that because Trich/Ingram busted that any other top RB would bust. Again you bring up Sankey....he has nothing to do with the NFL production of Gordon or Gurley. Then you bring up L. Bell as proof to anything can happen at the RB position. In that case, couldn't Gordon or Gurley be the top RB if anything can happen?First off the Luck vs. Manuel is a horrible comparison.

Would rather have Cooks/Cooper myself.We can agree to disagree. The fact is 1.01 is probably worth half of Brown. No one would take Cooks with 1.01. So the offer is very light and he had to throw a pick back
Add to the fact it is a start 1 rb and 3 wr league with PPR makes Brown even more valuable.
I am just curious and not asking to be mean. Would you prefer Cooper and Cooks over any single receiver in the NFL right now?Would rather have Cooks/Cooper myself.We can agree to disagree.

The first one is pretty even to me, bur i think i would take Benjamib. I like Tate when Calvin isn't playing, when Calvin is playing he seems like a boom or bust wr3.A couple today
Gave Golden Tate/2.09 for Kelvin Benjamin
gave 1.08/Justin Hunter for Lamar Miller (have Watkins, Alshon, Robinson, Benjamin, Decker, etc. But weak at RB)
I've have Brown behind Dez, Julio, Green and DT and I wouldn't do that trade for any of them. I feel that Cooper can be as good as Antonio Brown and Cooks has WR1 potential, but obviously it's risky vs. the sure thing in Brown.I am just curious and not asking to be mean.

Hmmm...not sure what to think about this one. I think I would take Brown and the picks. Just not sold on Denard long-term. I can see the Jags taking another RB or two. I love all the draft picks and rolling the dice late in drafts. I think a person that drafts well turns those late picks into gems (or uses them to trade up for a targeted player). One other worry is roster size. Having all these late picks, coupled with the rest of the teams picks, could really create strategy issues depending on who the team already has rostered. Maybe trade 2015 picks for 2016 picks.Y gave up Johnson, Storm JAC RB;McFadden, Darren OAK RB;Robinson, Denard JAC RB

I can see your point and these picks are never a sure thing, but I'm sold on Gordon or Gurley (and I see Gordon's value going sky-high after the Combine). And who is to say the guy that traded for the 1.01 doesn't sell for more picks or players (or both). I think teams with top 3 picks this year can really sell-high. There will be buyers.Since when is the 1.01 a sure fire number rb1? The last 2 guys that were pretty much the for sure 1.01 at running back haven't done that well. Ingram and Richardson.
