It's a ppr 16 team league. Both my running backs and receivers suck so the players I already have will not impact my decision.
i wouldn't do this deal. If it were me (7+ years experience in a dynasty league.) I would try and trade one of your players plus the #1 pick to a guy in the top 5ish (or 4-7 depending on how many players you feel can contribute in the long haul) for an upgrade at one of my positions and his/her draft pick. Don't try and rob the guy. Just try to upgrade. Like a Lee Evans plus your #1 for a Santonio Holmes and the #4 pick or something. Just something to upgrade your mediocre players for a decent starter.
Here's another one that i'd try. Philip Rivers and say Lee evans for Kolb and a santonio Holmes or a hakeem nicks or a dwayne Bowe type tier of player. Maybe even have them throw in a 1st round pick if it's a late one. Even if you have to throw in your 2nd rounder.
Doing a 1 for 1 trade in the position you're in isn't going to really do anything for you. You have 2 assets. Rivers OR the #1 pick to get you 2 players. The key is to remember that this is a dynasty. Rivers will be 29 by the end of the season. How old will he be when your team finally takes shape? Use him while you can. But don't give him away.
What pick does the Desean jackson owner have? Can you list the rosters of the teams picking in the top 5?
For the record my trade scenarios are basically just letting you know what type of tiered player to try and go for. Not necessarily a trade i'd offer. Atleast not without knowing what everyone has.
I was thinking the same thing regarding getting 2 players for one asset since I only have to assets anyone would want.
