Swapping aging WRs.

Which guy would you rather have here:

Steve Smith (Car)/3.03

or

Reggie Wayne/2.02

Reggie Wayne and 2.2 just for the higher draft pick. I think you'll be able to get a decent WR in that area of the rookie draft. Wayne can actually produce with luck in similar fashion to Smith with Newton last year. Rookie QBs will lean on their veterans. Neither player has much outlook past 2012 IMO

Wayne, more for the draft pick than any real preference over Smith.

Would it matter if I told you that I own Newton and this league gives big bonuses for big play TDs. It would be double buonus points for Newton to Smith long TDs.

Probably not, kinda the same philosophy of wanting the QB/WR combo in any format. IT's more psychological than giving any real advantage.

But if you think your league will be more exciting with Newton/Smith, I don't have a problem with the trade. It's close enough in value IMO

Depends on how the rest of the team looks. If you have a shot at the championship, I would probably keep Smith.

Smith holds a bit more value than Wayne IMO but that 2.02 plus Wayne is the way I'd go on this one. Nothing like getting a nice aging vet at WR while at the same time taking a shot at his replacement with 2.02. Win/win.

I have Wayne and the 2.02 right now. I was thinking of offering that for Smith. At WR I have Fitz, Britt, Harvin, Wayne, Moore, Little. I have to start 4. I have picks 1.09, 1.12 and 2.02.

Keep what you have and use 2.02 to add to the future of Moore and Little.

To quote Denis Green, "you play to win the game." If you are looking to make a run, I would rather have Smith (catching passes from Newton) than Wayne (not catching passes from Peyton Manning) Even if Wayne comes with a better draft pick. You have 1.9 and 1.12 to add youth, so parting with 2.02 shouldn't be that big of a deal. Not to mention Britt, Harvin, Moore and Little are all in their early 20s.

definitely steve smith...he will produce more this year especially in your formatt...

I would take Smith by quite a margain. He will produce at a low end wr1 or high end wr2. I dont see wayne as a wr3 this year. Add in the fact that you own Cam......easy breezy!!

So its Smith even-though I'm giving the 2.02 and moving back to the 3.03?

You may want to wait until after the draft to get an idea of who might be available at 2.2. But I think you have enough young WRs and 2 other, better draft picks.

Give me Smith, I would not be stunned if he posted near double stats as Wayne this year.

Hmmmmm.... Well... Stafford to Calvin won a lot of games for me and my first championship

Ok so...I was on my site and saw the Smith owner talking about how much he loved Andrew Luck. I offered Wayne straight up for Smith and sent him a message and he accepted. Didnt even have to give anything extra up.

BOOHYEAH!! Gotta love a good trade rape!!

Moral of the story...use PM's!!!!

You got it. I always PM the guy that never responds though. To many frustrating owners.

Howdy, Stranger!
