Brandin Cooks

Postby Djg1996 » Thu Aug 03, 2017 6:46 pm

I've been offered Cooks and Taylor Gabriel for my Sammy Watkins and Mike Wallace. I'm thinking this is an instant reject, I've been hanging on to Sammy for 2 years and feel like I should get more for him, regardless of injury history. Thoughts?

I would stay put personally, but value wise it's pretty close.

Cooks vs Watkins. The other pieces don't matter. I probably prefer Cooks.

I own both and that's tough. I feel cooks is much safer and underrated but Sammy upside is tremendous. Probably go with cooks only bc if Sammy gets hurt again no one will want to touch him. Talent sammy though.

This is dead on. I have them ranked similarly in value, but while Cooks may be safer and might be easier to trade in the future if he doesn't live up to expectations, Watkins has a higher ceiling but feels like an injury away from retirement.

Its a preference piece. Value is a toss up. Injury risk and upside of Sammy? Or stable (still young) production from Cooks?

Completely depends on owner personality really

I would go witth the guy who has been in the top 13 in wide receivers the past two years. The same guy is with the greatest quarterback of all time and is drawing rave reviews in camp.

....Or you could go with the guy whose team didn't trust him enough to pick up his 5th year option.
