Dynasty - Which deal to take? Or take both??

[ThePrez]

12 team dynasty league. Last year was the first year draft and every year after will have a 3 round draft... for remaining free agents and rookies. Each year we keep our entire roster (just drop 3 guys if we want to do the mini draft)

I have the 5th overall pick in this years mini draft and it is a non-serpentine order. So I have picks 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5

I have 2 different deals offered to me...

Offer # 1 -
The team offered me Rivers for my Palmer and 1.5 pick. This would land me a solid dynasty QB, just a question of is the 1.5 pick worth keeping? Assuming a McCoy would be there for the pick? I've countered with some deals but this is the offer he wants to make.

Offer # 2 -
The team offered me his 1.3 pick for my Royal. I have some WR depth and this would give me a top 3 rook in return... but what would I get at the pick? Am I looking to replace Royal with a Crabtree (if there at 1.3)?

League Info -
Yahoo standard scoring plus 0.5 pts per catch

Any thoughts on the 2 deals?

Man tough call here. I'm really playing both scenarios in my head.

Here we go:

Option 1: Rivers deal, I say do this. Why? You have 5 RB IMO 3 top dogs. R.Mendenhall could be the lone back in 2010 and could surprise in 09. Felix is going to be great and fits perfectly with MBIII. Add those two with PT,AP,CJ your stacked at RB with all young guys. So I give up a 1.05 pick for rivers. Your basically drafting Rivers in the 1st round. Which would happen if he was there. Young, and a top QB.


Option 2: I say NO to this deal. Royal is your #3WR right now IMO and only getting better. In a PPR league he is huge, top 12 huge. Many experts are huge on this guy as a 100/1100/7TD guy in his 2nd year. If B.Marshall is out or traded Royal jump in value.

The main reason I pass on the Royal trade is you do not need a RB. It also gives you 3 WR's with 3 top RB's and then Rivers.

Like our friends at McDonalds say ....."I'm loven it"

Thanks guys... I think we are on the same page!

I would most likely be looking at McCoy with my #5 pick... while he could be solid next year (or this year) I do have a lot of last years picks starting to come around even more this year (ie. CJ, Mendy, Felix, and PThomas) so do I need to draft another young RB and wait it out, or go get what I need... a QB.

Not sure if the other team is targeting McCoy but he does have Westy, so it doesn't hurt him in the long run. His only other roster QB is Garcia, so Palmer would fill in for him.

So.... go with trade 1 and skip trade 2?

Moving forward with my 1.5 pick and Palmer for Rivers...
