Trading Gronk in 2QB

[Oh Yeah Leon]

Team IS NOT in sig. Picked up an orphan, QB's are Wilson, Eli, Tyrod, Brissett. TE's are Gronk, Walker, Rudolph, ASJ. I draft at 1.9, so I assume the rookie QB's will be gone. What should Gronk get me? Is Good or Dak too lofty?

There's a few things with this. First and foremost, I wouldn't assume all the first round QBs are gone by 1.09. Josh Allen in particular has been lasting until the early 2nd in a lot of leagues and mocks I've seen. Even the 4th QB (that can vary depending on the draft) might be available at 1.09. So, if your whole motivation for trading Gronk is to get younger at the QB position because you don't think you'll get one in the draft, don't trade him right now.

Second, your trade partner has to be in the right situation to actually want Gronk. The retirement rumors coupled with the injury history make him only appealing to teams missing tight ends that are also win-now. If the Goff or Dak owners are built around youth, I think it'd be a poor idea to give up what could be a franchise QB for 2-ish years of Gronk. If you can convince them, more power to you.

If you want more youth/depth, I'd be looking at getting into the end of the 1st and early 2nd of this years draft. With the 5 QBs, there's a ton of talent down there. Gronk for rookies could be more appealing to owners rather than a 1 for 1 involving a more established QB.
