I can see why this team was a dog. You don't have a tier one wideout or RB, and for an 8 team league that's pathetic.

 

You need real help at WR, you can hold out at RB if Jordan and Arrington produce as expected. This lineup won't compete in an 8 team league as is.

Should I trade on of my rookie RB's for a WR... if so which one??

[Swampnuts]

I'd move Brown. He's got more trade value now than Arrington, but reports coming out of Dolphin's camp is Ricky is looking VERY good. Arrington should produce throughout the season, especially playing the Rams, Hawks, and Niners twice each.

What type (tier) of Receiver would you expect in return for Brown??

Do you think Ricky will be traded (keeping in mind that this is a keeper league) giving me two possible tier 1 or 2 RB's in the future?

[Swampnuts]

Ricky probably will get moved sometime next offseason. Your other option since you have so many holes, is to ride out what you have and hope Brown and Arrington emerge this season. You could build a potential stud team over the next few years.

 

In a keeper league, you could demand a pretty high price for Brown. I don't think a Joe Horn or Javon Walker would be unreasonable.
