Big Trade - Would Like Some Opinions

[Noyam]

I'm working on a deal to get a decent WR for Palmer (like Colston), and would want a good QB to replace him. I like Hasselbeck, and I'm down on Smith.

 

The question is, is Smith worth the upgrade from Lynch to LJ. Is it even an upgrade?

 

LJ/Hasselbeck for Smith/Lynch/Rivers

 

Thanks.

LJ is a stud, but what you gain in RB power does not offset what you lose in WR. You RB's are serviceable and will do for now.

But if I do this deal, I can trade Palmer for at least Colston, maybe a little more.....what's the realistic dropoff going forward from Smith to Colston? (Smith's got QB troubles all season, Colston and NO are looking primed to break back out).

 

Basically, which is a better trio, together:

 

Hasselbeck, LJ, Colston OR Palmer, Lynch, Smith?

If you can get the Colston owner to commit..then yes!

Turns out the owner I was talking to about Palmer was also negotiating for Hasselbeck. I expanded the deal a little, and it got done.

 

It went through as:

 

LJ/Hasselbeck/DeAngelo Williams/Randle El

 

for

 

Steve Smith/Lynch/Rivers/Norwood

 

Now I've got Hasselbeck and Palmer, who the other guy needs, and I can get Lee Evans or Marques Colston, at least, for one of them
