Golden Tate or D'onta Foreman/2019 Late 1st

[Cucaracha]

The team receiving Tate is in contention, but thin at WR with Odell, Keenan and Crabtree.

[James McGhee]

I'll take the Tate side. He's the most known piece in the deal. Foreman is a big question mark and the hit rate on a late 1st isn't very good.

[Cucaracha]

Do you think it requires more on the D'onta/1st side?

[BigBawseRoss]

a first for tate is nice, getting a rb whos about to waltz into a starting role is icing on the cake

[James McGhee]

He might be waltzing with a limp though.

[Cucaracha]

That is my big hang up as well, James... I trade away 20 points a week, for a guy who may not do squat.

This! I've been trying since last season to move Tate. I would jump at a 1st.

[James McGhee]

I mean, don't get me wrong - I agree somewhat with the others as I have owned Tate and have been trying to move him for a couple of seasons now. But he's like so many 29 yr old players - their production value exceeds their trade value. I'd rather let Tate catch 90+ balls a year than trade him for less than I think he's worth because he's about to be 30.

I'd prefer better than a late 1st but if I had to do a late 1st + I'd rather the + not be Foreman.

Foreman is still so young and although his injury is still a question mark, the situation he is in and the little competition he has at rb in Houston are both a big plus. Tate isnt getting any younger and with Galloday emerging who knows how much he has left.

I think these are legit concerns but I still think Tate is going to see a ton of underneath volume. And his style of play lends itself to more longevity because it isn't based on pure speed. To me he's like Steve Smith + Julian Edelman - Lite.

[Cucaracha]

That is my hangup..... Last three years for WRs:
2018 thus far - 11th in points
2017 - 12th in points
2016 - 17th in points

He's a borderline WR1 weekly.... I just don't get it. If I'm a contender, 2019 late 1st/Foreman isn't anything for the 20 points a week.

[James McGhee]

If you're a contender you absolutely keep him. If you're going to blow it up and rebuild then it's closer. Like I said earlier, I'd want better than a late 1st and if it's a late 1st + I want a young guy with less question marks.

Unless of course he's surplus to requirements and you can trade him away without hurting your starting lineup's scoring chances.

[Cucaracha]

Only listing important pieces, not guys who don't sniff a lineup...

My roster(Non a contender):
Flacco - Lamar - Eli
Royce Freeman - Phillip Lindsay - Kenyan Drake
John Brown - Randall Cobb - Keelan Cole - Amari Cooper - Larry Fitz - Josh Gordon - Golden Tate
Jared Cook - Hunter Henry

His Roster (Contender):
Tom Brady - Matt Ryan
LeSean McCoy - Gio Bernard - Chris Carson - Donta Foreman
Keeanan Allen - Odell - Dez - Crabtree - Ginn
Engram - Kelce - Njoku

[James McGhee]

He's a middling contender at best. His pick might not end up being that late (1.06-1.09, assuming 12-man). You should see if you can get him to throw in Njoku too!

I think this is fair and depends on team needs. I always like selling guys whose potential seems to be baked into their value (read: Derrick Henry last year), and I think that applies to Foreman a bit. If I'm contending, I'll take Tate -- and the first will be later anyway that way.
