Blockbuster trade opp

[HarryCaray]

Let me know what you think of this trade. 10-man league, PPR scoring. Big money H2H league - start 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1K, 1D

I LOVE my team as drafted. BUT, my buddy is a huge Cowboys fan so I am thinking of offering him a trade. Below is my team now:

QB: McNabb, Warner
RB: Addai, McGahee, Graham, McAllister
WR: TO, Burress, Bowe, Chris Chambers, Javon Walker
TE: Witten, Olsen
K: Vinatiere
D: Jax

I really like this team but my buddy has Westbrook, and I can't help but want an Addai/Westbrook backfield.

To the trade.

I am thinking of offering him:

I give: TO, McGahee, Witten
I get: Braylon Edwards, Westbrook, and Shockey

Think this is a good deal? I think he will pull the trigger if I offer it. Then I would be starting

McNabb, Addai, Westbrook, Braylon Edwards, Plaxico Burress, Dwayne Bowe, and Jeremy Shockey. That team sounds ridiculously good to me...

Shockey and Witten are pretty close. TO and Braylon are close. Westbrook is a nice upgrade over Willis. Gotta do that deal. You'll be the favorite to win your league if it gets done.

 

[HarryCaray]

I just called him and verbally suggested it, and he assured me if I offer it, it will get done.

In my mind:
Braylon a VERY slight downgrade from TO
Shockey a fairly significant downgrade from Witten
Westbrook a LARGE upgrade from McGahee

I think Witten will outscore Shockey pretty significantly this year, but Westbrook should kill. Plus I will now have the McNabb/Westbrook combo...

I think I'm gonna do it.

 

[JakeT.]

I think that if Shockey is healthy he has a great shot of being the top TE in all fantasy football. He'll see a lot of balls in Orleans.

 

[HarryCaray]

Agree on Shockey, but he has the potential to be average. I think Witten is a lock for one of the top 3 TEs.

I am OK with that though, because I will have Addai and Westbrook. That is fucking ridiculous.

If you have Westbrook and McNabb... If Philly scores... you score... I love having the same QB and RB of an offense.

Yep, especially when Westbrook catches so many passes -- those would score me double!

 

[HarryCaray]

Trade is complete...hopefully I don't regret it.

 

[JakeT.]

You made the right call. Nice work improving your team Harry.

 

[HarryCaray]

Thanks man. I win this league almost every year because these guys are idiots.

I got Ernest Graham in the 8th round this year.

Brady, Romo, Brees, Manning, Palmer, and Anderson were all gone early round 3. I got McNabb middle round 6. Talk about value.

My buddy (who also knows what he's doing) got Favre in the 13th round -- LMAO. These guys were picking their D's, K's, and backup TE's and he lands Favre.
