Just agreed to a deal
Give: 1.01, James Washington, 3.11
Get: Brandin Cooks, 2.11
Completely agree. I'm not moving cooks for Jacobs and a 2nd...that's ridiculousperkinsrooster wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 11:43 am You draft a guy at 1.1 hoping he will be Cooks. So I think that's the answer. I would need 2019 1.01 and a 2020 first.
It's well within the range where reasonable minds could differ. Not ridiculous.smallxl wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 6:19 pmCompletely agree.

You can hope but how likely is it, but I would be happy with getting Cooks value at 1.1. You are almost as likely to get, T Rich, Sammy Watkins, Todd Gurley (who is already falling apart), Darren McFadden, Ryan Matthews, Leonard Fournette, etc, etc, etc).hoos89 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 2:31 pmNot quite sure what you're saying here, but Gruden feeds his lead backs.
Eh...I think you hope 1.01 ends up being more valuable than Cooks.perkinsrooster wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 11:43 am You draft a guy at 1.1 hoping he will be Cooks. So I think that's the answer. I would need 2019 1.01 and a 2020 first.
Getting Gurley at 1.01 most likely won you at least 1 championship, or got you a ridiculous haul in a trade, more than Cooks ever could. I get the injury concerns now, but making it seem like getting Gurley in his rookie draft is a bad thing isn't a good point to make. He's still worth more than Cooks right now, too, and I love Cooks and always stick up for him around these parts.perkinsrooster wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 8:08 amYou can hope but how likely is it, but I would be happy with getting Cooks value at 1.1.

I'll take Cooks all day.
Sammy Watkins had top 10 startup value at one point. T Rich had top 5 startup value at one point. Fournette had top 15 startup value. It's been a while, but my recollection is that McFadden and Matthews also saw their values increase to higher than Cooks' current value at some point as well. Also...just lol at the suggestion that getting Todd Gurley with 1.01 would be a bad thing. (1) He's still worth way more than Cooks, (2) there's a pretty good chance he won you a title in 2017, and (3) if you weren't contending in 2017 you should have flipped him for 1.01 startup value.perkinsrooster wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 8:08 am

Holding an RB with as much value and production as 2017 Gurley in a rebuild is just poor strategy in my opinion. Yeah we didn't know he was going to have knee issues, but he still plays RB and that is a position with a ton of turnover. That said...he's still got 1st round-ish start-up value, which is higher than Cooks' value has ever been. Anyone should be happy to get rookie Gurley in exchange for 1.01 or Cooks.perkinsrooster wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 9:09 am Of course all those guys had high startup value at a point in time, that's why they were drafted at 1.1 in their respective rookie drafts. That doesn't mean they turned out to be good draft picks. And of course they could have been flipped for good assets at that time, but that's like timing the market. Good luck with that.
If you weren't contending in 2017 why would someone flip Gurley? He was a young, healthy RB. A perfect piece to build around, or so it seemed. Not anymore.
If you're saying that Watkins, McFadden, Matthews or Richardson turned out to be better investments of draft capital than Cooks then we will just have to agree to disagree.
I'm not saying it's a bad strategy (I agree that RB's are mainly short term assets), but practically speaking I doubt many people in a rebuild are selling Barkley right now. Even if they want to are they able to find someone to give them market value? I doubt many can. (i am NOT saying Cooks has more value than Barkely, I'm just extrapolating your point to the current day.)hoos89 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 9:15 amHolding an RB with as much value and production as 2017 Gurley in a rebuild is just poor strategy in my opinion.

And yeah, if you got Watkins or Richardson with 1.01 you very easily could have exited with substantially more value than Cooks has ever held (less certain about McFadden and Matthews because that was so long ago, but my recollection is they both held higher value for periods in their respective careers). Not to mention that Watkins probably won a lot of people championships in 2015, whereas I don't think Cooks has ever really had a "championship winning" season or playoff stretch.
You don't need to sell at absolute peak value. Several of these players spent multiple seasons well above Cooks' value. Also for the record, Watkins' 2015 stretch was more like 8 games. And I guess who the better investment is largely depends on your strategy as a dynasty player. If you're someone who tends to cash out when players increase significantly in value then you would rather have taken Watkins. Or if Watkins won you a title but Cooks would not have, then you'd rather have taken Watkins regardless of whether you would have cashed out.perkinsrooster wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 9:33 am

I think it's a bit much to expect to be able to sell at peak value. I think way more people got burned by TRich, Matthews, Watkins than were able to cash out at the right time. Watkins had a nice 4 game stretch in 2015 that might have helped people win. I don't see this as a strong argument to say he was a better investment than Cooks.
If I'm getting a 1,000 yard WR year after year from my 1.1 I am happy with that. I'll take Cooks over the unknown 2019 1.01.
