Steelhead Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 The Travis Henry owner is thinking about trading him and he drafts in the sixth spot. I draft 12th and have Gore and Harrison as my keepers. I was planning on drafting WR-WR with the sweep picks and those would likely be Andre Johnson and Colston (or similar). We are a 12 team 2 man keeper league and the top ranked RB available for draft is Thomas Jones then MJD. If I can get Henry for my 1.12 and swapping out 4th and 6th rd picks should I pull that trigger? I’m pretty sure it’s a no brainer but wanted some opinions since he did get dinged up last weekend. Also if he wants more than that do you think Henry is worth a first and fourth rd pick?

Do you get to keep Harrison? If so then it is, in fact, a no brainer. If not, then you are losing the 36th pick overall (what pick do you get in return?) for a real but not overwhelming upgrade (Henry over Harrison). In that case, I don't make the trade. Swapping 4th for 6th round isn't a big deal at all if you actually get to have Gore, Henry, and Harrison as your top 3 players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm trading the 36th pick and swapping some other rds to get Travis Henry. I keep Gore and Harrison regardless of what happens. So what I would have is: Gore Harrison Henry and my first pick would be 2.1, which is the 37th overall in a redraft. There's been no response from the guy so he might not like the offer so I may have to give up a 3rd or 4th rd pick as well. Now that I am not sure about that. Is Henry worth giving up strength at other positions that I would be drafting at those picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelhead Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 This guy routinely makes bad trades. I’m trying to avoid giving up a first and third pick for Henry, but if that’s what I have to give up is the trade worth it? Or what’s the lowest rd pick that would sound reasonable?

gogo2146 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I just traded a first round pick 1.4 in a 5 man keeper league for T. Henery and a 6.6 round pick. So I got Henery and a 6.6 for my 1.4 round pick. Make the trade if he will for thefirts rounder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelhead Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 He's gonna do the trade. However I just checked the byes and that would make Gore, Henry, and Harrison all on bye in Week 6. All my keepers and my 2 stud RBs out. Do I still do this trade and just take the loss that week? I'll have to draft my RB3 and RB4 earlier than usual.

Newsflash, you're going to lose at least once this year. Frankly, if I had it my way, all my studs would have the same bye week. That would mean every other week of the season, I would be rolling out my A-team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
