OK, let's analyze this from both sides. He gets a #1 RB, which he doesn't have, and he still has Manning as his QB. You get a #1 QB, which you don't have, and you still have a #1 RB. From his perspective, it's a no-brainer. From yours, you have to decide if what you lose going from Slaton to Thomas is less than what you gain from Ryan to Brees. Based on last year's numbers, I would say make the trade. The only what-ifs are whether you think Thomas is injury prone and if you think New Orleans will throw as much as they did last year.

Redraft league. I have been offered Brees for Slaton. We are in the same division.
My draft order went D. Williams, S. Slaton, Pierre Thomas, A. Gates, Matt Ryan, Roy Williams, H. Ward.
His draft order went Brees, P. Manning, Ray Rice, Braylon Edwards, Beanie Wells, Ahmad Bradshaw, Devin Hester, LeShon McCoy.
Thoughts?
