Did I get the good end? Blockbuster Trade

Recommended Posts

My old team

 

Romo

Bulger

 

Gore

Maroney

B. Jackson

F. Taylor

L. Betts

 

Chad Johnson

J. Walker

R. Curry

B. Marshall

D. Henderson

 

Cooley

Ravens

Stover

 

So my idea was that Bulger lost Pace and Romo should be able to hold my starting spot on his own. Also, Maroney is not going to the be #1/2 RB I hoped he would be losing %30 of carries and lots of goal line action. Also, Bjackson most likely wont hold the sole starting job anymore and is pretty worthless to me. So here is what I traded

 

Bulger

C. Johnson

Maroney

B. Jackson

 

For

 

T. Henry

R. Moss

L. Coles

M. Leinart

 

A buddy of mine thinks I gave up too much (2 2nd round picks and a 3rd for a 1st/3rd/4th in our draft) but I think it was pretty good. I hated giving up CJ but I dont foresee Maroney and Bulger living up to their value. Is my team better or worse now as follows?

 

Romo

Leinart

 

Gore

T. Henry

L. Betts

F. Taylor

 

R. Moss

J. Walker

L. Coles

R. Curry

B. Marshall

D. Henderson

 

Cooley

Ravens

Stover

 

 

I think I may try to deal Coles for a better #3 back.

I also have Bulger but its only wk 1. if I were you I'd switch Romo & Bulger as needed per

matchup. With T.Henry we've all seen how fickle Shanahan can be, starter 1 week bench the next.

It looks like Moss is back but Chad has never left & doesn't take plays off. I think you may have jumped the gun a little for week 1 but it looks like your trading partner thought that too.

I think you jumped off the Maroney/Bulger trains too quickly. I like both to bounce back, especially with an energized NE Offense. You are definitely deeper at WR, but losing Ocho Cinco hurts (especially since Moss is good but not sure how great a season he'll have when Brady spreads the ball around). Still, you are much weaker at RB and QB and I would look to shore up RB if possible. I don't think that was your best move.

I think you did alright here. It might be alittle much because I think Bulger will bounce back a little too but you definately could have done worse. I think Henry is a big upgrade over Maroney or Jackson. Jackson wouldnt have helped you at all until later in the year anyway and Shannohan doesnt have any other backs this year to share the load with this year so I think Henry is going to have a big year. And I like Moss more than Chad Johnson too so you definately could have done a lot worse for yourself.

 

Thanks for helping me out!!

Looking at the trade, if you had offered me the identical trade, I would have jumped all over it. I don't like it for you. I think that you should have waited to trade Bulger until after he had a big week which he will. Maroney will also have big weeks. Remember to buy low / sell high.
