Gronkowski is 29 but injury prone but he's a tightend who could block and be great in the red zone. Earl thomas.... Well we've talked a ton about him he is 29 and going strong.even though he's been injured more in recent years. Aaron Donald would require giving up a food 2 first round picks but he is 26 and he would put our defense in another universe. He is a three tech and arguably the best in the game today. Him Dlaw and say Gregory would be menacing. Which one would you choose why and for how much

I proposed this same scenario in another thread...

Absolutely it would be Aaron Donald. He would be the perfect fit for Marenilli’s scheme. I truely believe he could have a 20 sack season at DT on this team.

Gronk would help our offense, but he wouldn’t totally change how defenses look at our Offense

I’m a big fan of ET bc I think him coming to Dallas is more realistic and he would instantly make Dallas’s defense a strength

But Aaron... lol, would make opposing Offensives change thier game plan. OMG.. could you image a DL of Gregory, Donald, Irving, and Lawrence!

Sorry, guys.. I’ve got to go wipe the drool off my face

I wouldn't touch Gronk, I'd trade for Earl Thomas but wouldnt give up a ton. I'd trade 2 1st for Donald.

Donald is a young stud and the best defensive player in the league. I'd give them taco, ealy, Gregory, tapper, and dorance plus two number one pics and rico, noah, and lance lenoir

7 players and two first rounders

I'm not giving 2 firsts for anybody

If you can get a top 5 QB in his prime, yes, you would give up 2 firsts and you'd be a terrible owner if you didn't.

If you already have a solid team and a franchise QB and had a chance to get a superstar DT in his prime, you should give up 2 firsts to help put your team over the top.

I wouldn't give up 2 firsts for Donald mainly because we may not be set at QB. I'd rather have first round picks to be able to get our franchise guy at QB than getting a superstar DT.

donald is nice but irving offers a good % of what he offers for 2018.
so the price in $ and picks is not worth it.

dont trust gronk's body

et - depends on pick and salary.

out of the 3, would say et - but not willing to give a 2nd for him.
