Should I trade the SECOND overall pick for the Fifth Overall pick?

[Chuck Norris 8]

This is a standard scoring league, no PPR. 6 pts per TD run/rec 1 pt every 10 yds run/rec and 4 pts per passing TD.

 

My question is more of a concern with the current mess going on in Minnesota. First pick has already put down CJ, but I'm weary on AP for a couple of reasons. First, he's been handling the rock significantly the last few years and may break down, he fumbles, and with the WR a mess, I see this as a recipe for disaster.

 

Pick 5 is a die hard Vikes fan, and would love to pick AP. The trade would be for him and I switching our first and second round picks, then probably a 7th round pick later. I would keep my third pick and so on, so my picks would go from: 2, 19, 22 to 5, 16, 22.

 

Am I over analyzing, or will AP perform this year? His schedule is brutal, and with pick 5, I could possibly get Ray Rice, Turner, or Gore (who's schedule is a cake walk).

 

I appreciate your honest opinions and thoughts!

I think you should be able to get more than a 7th round swap to g owith the swap of 1st and 2nd rounders.

 

 

See this thread from yesterday that discussed a deal of moving from the #2 to the #6 spot

If he's that die hard then tell him your 1 and 4 for his 1 and 3...If he wants AP bad enough he'll bite and you'll have a nice top 4 guys...

You are over analyzing this. AP is a touchdown machine. Unless the guy wants to give up his 1,2,3, and 7th for your 1,2, I would not do it.

If your not really sold on AP then draft someone else. I would keep that pick and take someone like MJD or Ray Rice or take AP and try and trade him to the Vikes fan after the draft. This will make him sweat it out a little bit and maybe he would be willing to offer his first round pick and his third for just AP. Just a suggestion.
