At WR I have Percy, Roddy, Larry, Denarius, and Broyles. I can only keep 10 players total, so 5 WR would be the upper limit. Is either of Gordon or Wright a substantive upgrade over Moore/Broyles?
The short answer is yes, Gordon and Wright both have more potential upside than Moore. Moore hasn't been as productive as he should be and has been injured often, still has potential but higher risk.
The long answer is that i still dont think that this is a great deal. With tight end in the condition it is in i think Witten is a pretty valuable piece to have, not for you but he should bring more value back. If Tony G retires next year you have Gronk/Graham in tier 1, Hernandez and Witten in tier 2, and then about 10 other guys below them. Having one of those top 4 guys you can rely on to get you at least 8 points almost every single week is a nice luxury to have and i think its more valuable than a WR4-WR5 type of guy.
I understand Witten is getting old and in a keeper league that allows you to keep 10 guys that hurts his value a bit, but have you tested the market a bit more? Assuming you have all offseason to figure this out i may wait it out and see if you can get a better offer, i know i would give you one if i was in your league and without a TE
There are only 3-4 teams in the market at the moment. Most teams have a youngin (Rudolph, Gresham, Pettigrew) that they are holding out hope for. The same owner with Gordon/Wright has Bowe/Maclin. Would a Witten/Moore/picks? package for one of these guys be the right play?
I think you can do better than Gordon and Wright for Witten. I know he's old but Witten is a stud.
Honestly, if there's a flex position (W/R/T) that you can start Witten and Gronk at the same time I would just keep them both.
If you really have no choices besides Josh Gordon or Kendall Wright I think I'd go with Josh Gordon, he has more upside IMO and although both were rookies last year Gordon is a couple years younger than Wright.
I think I'm leaning towards keeping him at the moment. We don't have a flex, but a Witten level TE is still a lot harder to come by than a boom/bust WR3. I still have 8 months for someone to make a better offer.

I think Witten/Moore for Bowe straight up is the route i would try and take. This partially depends on whether Bowe gets moved or if the Chiefs bring in a capable QB to work under Reid. He loves to chuck the ball around and considering they have a dynamic RB and not many other receivers this could mean to 10+ targets a game for Bowe. 10 targets from one of their current QBs means nothing but 10 targets from anyone worth their salt means top 10 WR fantasy production.

Good. Wait it out, Im sure there will be someone else interested in a guy that just caught 110 passes last season
