Made a trade for Brandin Cooks, thoughts?

Postby UATahoe » Wed Nov 15, 2017 11:46 am

I received Cooks, Pryor, and a late 2018 2nd
I gave up Fuller, Alex Collins, and a 2019 1st.

I was looking for some solid WR help this year and went ahead and moved Fuller. I feel good about it.

I'm not big on Cooks as I don't think Cooks is as good as people think he is judging by what fantasy numbers he actually does, but that is pretty cheap to get him. Only way this backfires is if Fuller goes off again next year with Watson back at the helm, assuming the 19 1st you gave up doesn't end up early

I like the trade, but giving up that 2019 1st with your current roster could get a bit scary next year.

I thought it seemed pretty good so I jumped. I know Fuller will be better with Watson back but just don’t believe he sustains long term at the rate he was going with Hopkins there. I have been pretty active with trades and actually prefer those over draft pics to an extent depending on the circumstance. That 2019 would be a mid round pick at best. Obviously injuries could wipe me out but outside of that my roster is pretty competitive. Holding out hope Denver figures out the qb situation next year which will help me with Sanders and intrigued to see if Brieda turns in to something next year.

Like the deal a lot, Cooks is still under rated and in that offense he will only get even better
