I'd say my draft went much better than expected, I was picking 8th overall in a ten team league):
QB: Ryan (9th round) and Romo (11th round)
RB: Forte (8th overall), Ellington, Joique, Vereen, Fred Jackson, Bernard Pierce (a lot of people passed on RB near/outside the top 20; most teams have zero running back depth: if a starter goes down one guy will be starting Chris Ivory)
WR: Antonio Brown, Roddy, Brandin Cooks, Kelvin Benjamin (didn't get much depth here because other teams were valuing WR way more than RB)
TE: Graham and Cameron (TE were also flying off the board but Cameron somehow dropped to pick #73)
D/ST: Streaming with Steelers week one
K: Bailey
The trade I received today was my Cameron and Romo for his Gerhart and Cutler.
Seems like a no brainer to accept, but this is my main competition. Jimmy Graham provides me with the largest advantage in a head to head match-up. I know it's too early to be thinking about the playoffs, but I think we both should easily make it since the competition is not too tough. Anyways, here is his roster:
QB: Stafford and Cutler
RB: Jamaal Charles, Monte Ball, Gio Bernard, Toby Gerhart, Ray Rice, Mark Ingram
WR: Cobb, Cordarrelle Patterson, Decker, Kendall Wright, Rueben Randle
TE: Jordan Reed
D/ST: Patriots
K: Blair Walsh
Thanks in advance.
I don't think it's a bad deal. I think Cutler is a safer bet than Romo injury wise, but if both are healthy I think I'd rather have Romo. I think you already have good depth at RB and adding Gerhart helps. So if your league is active and you can swing one of those RBs for something else, then it's another reason to do it.
I like your WRs, but Cooks and Benjamin are still guys we need to wait and see on, but I've targeted them in a ton of drafts this year. Little nervous about them as 3s and 4s for you right now, but in a few weeks you could be fine. Still, if you do this deal and then swing a RB for a WR that would work...
