Ryno the Jet Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I am in a keeper league. I kept Frank Gore and Steve Smith from last season. I traded a guy Steve Smith, the 4th Draft Pick, and the 44th Draft Pick in return for Larry Johnson, the 5th Pick, and the 56th Pick. Steal right? I could not pass this up. Gore/Johnson is a sick combo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I don't like Johnson, but I'd certainly rather have him than Steve Smith. Good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShow Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 any time you can trade a WR for a starting RB you've made a good trade. Steve smith is a beast but he won't put up the #'s L.J. will.. be sure to let us know how ur draft goes.. I wanna know who u get with the picks u got in the trade as well.

Sperm Edwards Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 In hindsight, I would have kept Smith unless you need to start 3 RB's. You already had the #4 pick. Gore Parker (or Rudi) Smith Boldin A.Johnson trumps Gore LJ Boldin A.Johnson Glenn 3 RB's like that is a great luxury & your team looks very solid anyway. But Willie Parker is a bit much to ride the bench most of the time. Also LJ is a prime candidate for a major injury this year. I'd rather have Steve Smith starting than Willie Parker on my bench.

But Willie Parker is a bit much to ride the bench most of the time. Also LJ is a prime candidate for a major injury this year. I'd rather have Steve Smith starting than Willie Parker on my bench. Two RBs & two WRs. I already have guys beating down my door asking me for trades. Looks like I may even end up with P. Manning instead of lil' bro. I drafted purely by value. LJ will put up better #s than smith this year and I practically made a strait up deal. I have three top ten backs and two of them are top 5. I had smith last year (obviously he was my keeper) and he was way too hit or miss. With LJ and Gore in there every week, I have as close to a sure thing as possible, without having LT. Plus, I have outstanding insurance with WP on the bench, just in case LJ's can't miss injury pops up or if Kitna & Eli cannot cut the mustard. Dude, with LJ, Gore, and Gates in there; frankly, I won't need much else to win most weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traded them even-up for Westbrook, who was like a game-day decision for 3-4 weeks in a row, and Lee Evans who had done little all season. Smith was great up to when I traded him & then his yardage disappeared almost immediately afterward; at the same time, Ronnie Brown hit the wall, sucked, and then got hurt. Meanwhile Westbrook went on a tear & Lee Evans was like a top-3 receiver for the rest of the year. As far as moving Parker for Peyton...I guess you're in a position to do something like that. I'd throw in Eli or Kitna & one of your WR's and see if you can't also pry a stud WR from the guy while you're at it. You may want to wait for an injury when someone's really desperate. Tough call there b/c your trade bait drops in value if Parker gets off to a slow start & doesn't get into the endzone as much out of the gate. Either way, your team is friggin' stacked. Good Job.

Sounds like you had a crystal ball last year, I sure could have used it. Steve took his dive about the same time sexy Rexy dropped like a rock. I had rex and Palmer, but Carson had a slow start last year. When the s hit the fan, I made trades like a mad man in an effort to sneak into the playoffs. No dice, except I did get Gore out of the deal, who ended up being a pleasant surprise. Funny thing is, I traded Willie P away to get him, and that was when Willie blew up fantasy wise. I also gave away Palmer for Brady and some change. Last year was not good with my keeper league team. As far as the Peyton trade, this is what I proposed: He gets - Parker, T. Glenn, and Eli I get - Peyton, A. Peterson (Min), and Donte Stallworth I do have a nice team on paper, but we play ten-men, so there are quite a few good ones. I should easily make the playoffs though, baring injury, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
