I am in a 3 keeper league. I have Steve Slaton , Ryan Grant and Steven Jackson. I am thinking of offering a trade of Steven Jackson to the guy who has the first pick as he needs a runningback. I would then have 1st and 2nd pick. If I have slaton and grant I could then pick up Jennings and wayne with the first two picks. Next year it will be 4 keepers. This seems like a pretty good core group to build a team around. anquan Boldin, roddy white, wes welker are also available. it is a ppr league.
Honestly, I would keep Steven Jackson. I think it gives you the edge at running back, considering Jackson will be valuable in PPR leagues. The West Coast offense being used by new coordinator Pat Shurmur focuses on short passes and the run, which plays to Jackson's strengths as a versatile back. I think he still has four good years left in him since he hasn't logged a ton of carries due to nagging injuries.
You could keep Slaton/Colston/Jackson, draft Wayne with the No. 2 pick, then go into the season with two strong running backs and two strong receivers.
Let me rephrase this as there is some confusion. I have slaton , jackson and grant. He has brady , moss and larry johnson. He has the first pick in the draft. I want to trade Jackson to him for his first pick. I would have slaton and grant as my keeprers and have the first and second pick in the draft. I would be looking to get jennings and wayne as my picks. My list of keepers are slaton, grant,jackson,bowe,colston and witten. I can only keep 3 he needs a runnning back and I would like to get better receivers. Currently I am keeping Slaton, Jackson and Colston., but if this is a good trade I will change my keepers for the above scenario.
Who are his keepers? Who would he have to drop to make Jackson a keeper? In other words, he's giving up one of his keepers AND #1 pick in the draft for Jax. Do you think he'll do that?
Jackson is on the decline..Rams O-Line stinks and they have no QB to scare defenses..If I understood your post correctly he has the #1 pick? I would keep that pick this year especially in a keeper...Draft someone like Wells-McCoy/F. Jones (If hes available) etc. and decline your trade. Just my opinion.
