Trading for Jamaal Charles

Postby irishstephen071 » Sat Feb 04, 2012 9:12 pm

Is Jamaal Charles worth a 1st round draft pick even with coming back from a torn ACL?

There is an owner in my league looking to trade him and he wants a 1st round draft pick for him. We are in a PPR league, get to have 5 keepers. my players are as follows:
QB - Tim Tebow
WR - Wes Welker
WR - Brandon Marshall
WR - Mike Wallace
RB - Shonne Greene
RB - Khali Bell
TE - Tony Gonzalez
Flex - Demarious Thomas
BN - Beanie Wells
BN - LeGarret Blount
BN - Laurent Robinson

As of right now my keepers are:
1 - Welker
2 - Wallace
3 - Marshall
The next two spots are open to variations based on what happens like Bell or Greene, Tebow is an option also since he runs enough to make up for his lack of passing but I also think a few offseason of working with Elway will help him. This is also why I was looking around for trades and thought about Charles just not sure if he is worth that draft pick. With this team this year I came in 4th in my league.

High risk, high reward situation. If it pans out you get a #1 RB for a first round pick, if not you lose your pick. I would do it but I love to gamble :)

First off, I would keep:
Marshall
Welker
Wallace
Wells
Greene

and I would trade my first round pick for Charles... in reality, it's your 6th round pick when you include your keepers. Any RB coming off major injury is a risk, but at least Charles was hurt very early in 2011, meaning he has a better chance than AP or Mendenhall of being ready to go in Week 1. Unless you have a top-3 pick, I would pull the trigger on this deal. If you have a top-3 pick I would use that on one of the 2012 rookies.

I would keep B-Marsh, Welker, Wells, Wallace and Greene. Also I would make the trade since a Charles is worth the gamble in the 6th round. good luck! ;-D

I wouldn't be able to keep all of them as I would have to include Charles as one of my five keepers and wouldn't have a first round pick, which is 6th.

That part in large bold letters is EXACTLY why I would do it. A 6th round pick for Charles, and then keep Welker, Marshall, Wallace, Wells and Charles, without a doubt I gamble on that deal.
