Gurley owners: would you accept b. cooks + '18 1st for him? Yes or no

[austing]

12 team ppr. Thoughts are welcome. Trying to see if that offer is going to get it done.. fyi the 18 1st is likely mid, possibly late.

[ColdZealDonkeyStrike]

In most leagues, I would accept that in a heartbeat. Cooks and Gurley are about even for me unless it is a league that way overvalues RBs.

[M-Dub]

I'm not a Cooks fan, but that value is probably too good to pass up. I'd be looking to immediately flip Cooks for a WR or RB I like better or maybe package him up for a legit stud.

[pierson242]

Seems like an overpay for Gurley so yes I would

[timmybhoy]

Yes I would. If I needed a RB I'd then flip Cooks, as others have said, for one of the other top end RB's like Gordon or Freeman and then the 1st is gravy.

[Favrezilla]

I would t - I don't like cooks though and I think it's close so I wouldn't fault anyone for taking the deal.

I just think it's much harder to find a 3down back who's not in a timeshare than a wr2

[Goddard]

I traded my Gurley stock a year ago, but if I still owned him, I'd take that pretty easily.

[psfox2010]

As much as I like Gurley, that would be a difficult trade to pass on.

[cvbuc]

I would much rather have Cooks on any of my teams than Gurley. But that's just me because I'm into players that actually produce on the field. This is a steal for you.

If this is for the team in your sig I dont see your pick being late if you are getting rid of your WR 1.
Without Cooks I see you being a middle of the road team.

No, in the trade to acquire gronk I swapped firsts with a team slightly better than mine (he has David Johnson, AB, EE, & a bunch of crap) so that's where the "mid to late" comes from. Also, gronk is lumped in with receivers for me since we have no TE starting requirement. So unless the trade goes through, I have edelman, cooks, AND gronk on the pats. Thats too pigeonholed for me, so I thought I'd go rb heavy instead and roll out k Allen, gronk & edelman with gurley, and gordon. And when gronks hurt I'll use whichever rookie is performing between mcc, mixon, and cd.

[ADrunkenCaveman]

Just noticing this is a contract league.

That changes things.. The longevity of Cooks which is what makes him soooo valuable takes a hit and the issue of RBs not lasting very long goes out the window making me wanting Gurley

[iceman68]

How many RBs can you start? Does adding another top RB help you? How many years would you have Gurley for?
Cooks for another WR where you can hold him longer perhaps would be a better route to go. Or make the trade and flip another RB for a WR.

Requirements are: qb rb flex flex flex flex with a maximum of 3 rbs starting. Cooks has a 2 year contract and Gurley has a 4 year contract.

[Coogan Football]

In a league that only requires starting 1 RB (laaaaaaame) give me Cooks and the pick.
