V. Davis/Evans for Cooley/Garcon....too risky?

Postby Hoosierdad » Fri Sep 10, 2010 11:33 pm

My team is in my sig. I think that Cooley and Garcon are both going to have big years. At first glance, this trade seems lopsided. But is it? Can Davis really duplicate what he did last year? And Cooley will be the second (if not first) option for McNabb this year.

The full trade is:

V. Davis/Evans. M. Williams (Seattle) for Cooley/Garcon/R. Williams. I threw in Williams because I had him last year and he won the league for me when Brown went down. Maybe that will happen again.

Am I crazy?

I think Cooley is a big step down, frankly, and I've always been a Cooley fan, but Garcon should be better than Evans, so throw in Williams, who could be a nice RB add and I think its not a bad deal for you at all. I'd bet tempted.

Good luck and thanks for help with mine!

Thanks for the help.

I'm not sure if you're trading for Vernon Davis or trading him away, but I like Davis/Evans/Williams better. At something like 4 years old, I don't think Ricky has it in the tank to repeat.

I think Cooley is in for a nice year too, but I do think VD is elite - you'd definately be taking a hit at TE

I like Garcon a whole helluva lot better than Evans - you'd be imporving your WR corps.

I like Ricky immensely more than a guy who was out of football on a really bad team - you'd be improving your RB depth as well.

All in all, I think it would improve your team, I'd probably make this trade if I were you.

Thanks for the help on mine!

I like this trade for you. You take a hit at TE but Cooley always does his thang..aaaaaand he has a QB now that love his TEs! Im not sold on MWilliams and Garcon is definitely in an offense that will use him! Good luck!

Personally I would keep VD. Cooley is a solid player, but davis has already established himself as Alex Smith's security blanket. Especially now with Alex Smith having the same OC for a second year in a row and a healthy crabtree, its gonna open it for davis. Not saying he's gonna get 12 tds again, but 8 tds 800 yds and 75 to 80 catches is not unrealistic. dont forget the cupcake schedule for the niners either. Thanks for your help on mine b4 too.

I think Davis will way outperform cooley this year, and will be an elite TE. With that said, huge upgrade at WR and RB imo. I think ricky williams is still a viable option at rb, and given ronnies past its a good possibility he will see a solid number of carries. I personally take this trade, but I am someone that prefers depth over studs incase of injuries. If you prefer just starting studs, I would keep VD.

Trading is all about giving and taking. As was said I also think you are giving a little in Davis, but are receiving in the WR and RB spots. I would give it a shot.

Yeesh, tough call. The thing that gives me pause is that the TE swap has the most cut-and-dried effect on your weekly starting lineup in this deal, and that's where you're taking a downgrade. Would you rather start Garcon and Cooley every week, or Knox (et al.) and Davis? I'd lean toward the latter, but it's an open question.

That said, I love cashing in two depth guys for Garcon and tightening up your WR rotation, and Ricky does give your RB depth a shot in the arm. Tough call.

My vote is a tentative no. It'd be nice if you could acquire Ricky for one of your WRs straight up.
