I would do that trade to win a title.

Absolutely not in my book. You have a great receiving core for the future and are taking on 2 wrs who have a couple years left at most who you might not even start over who you have now. Ray probably bounce back potential and a few years left, but is he really gonna help you this year? I understand the choice to go for the title this year when you have a chance to win, but to me you aren't really improving enough to give up Hilton and a 2nd.

with your start requirements Aj/colston start for you almost every week. colston is now healthy and brees is starting to look his way..RR is your 3 rb and with those 3 guys ur getting you can play machups go get ur title..TY hasn't been exactly consistent every week anyways..the value is way on ur side.. 

Id do that trade even if I was not in the playoffs...

To each his own

Are you kidding me?? Firstly his great receiving core only consists of AJ Green, Desean Jackson and TY Hilton. You can't say Harry Douglas because the minute Roddy and Julio get healthy, Douglas becomes an after thought. 

Dennis Johnson and Marlon Brown have done NOTHING. A 2014 2nd round pick is a lottery pick. The only loss here is Hilton.

What you get in return? Andre Johnson in a PPR league. Andre is 4th in the league in receptions. Sure Colston is having a poor year but he's more productive than both Brown and Dennis J. He also plays for the league most consistent highest scoring offence.Lastly you get a RB2 at worst in Ray Rice who is also a PPR gem. Ray Rice is still the engine for the Ravens, and they'll fix the O-line and get him going again. 

Come on Donvaughn....

Easy guy. To each his own. It's good to have multiple perspectives. The man said he wants to rebuild. So that's the way I approached it. Deandre and Stills are clearly the future replacements for Andre and Colston. So you got a couple years most left in the tank for those guys. I agree Marlon Brown and Dennis Johnson have done nothing. I'm not even considering them as part of the deal. 2nd round pick is not money, but a decent value pick. The way I break the trade down is Hilton and a 2nd for Andre, Colston, and Rice.

I know those are sexy names, but when you consider his lineup. AJG, DJAX, HILTON. That's a core of young wrs I'd love to keep together. You add an AJ or MC and it gives you depth at flex, but not good for rebuilding. I guess I'm higher on Hilton that most. I see him as a perennial 100catch guy with a stud qb. Rice definitely makes sense to me because your adding a guy you can start, but are you expecting much out of him this year? Pierce ain't going anywhere either. I guess in the end if you want to win now, take the trade and add the depth to your roster for the playoff stretch. Maybe upgrading your flex starts wins you a championship, maybe it doesn't. If you want to rebuild, consider you're losing a potential young WR1 for a couple of "old guys"  and bounce back candidate for the future.

I dont even see this as a rebuild vs win now issue. Hilton/2nd for Andre/ R Rice/Colston is just stupid value regardless of where you are with your team.

To each his own JR!!!!

its amazing how differently we all value players...I wouldn't trade you ray rice for all that let alone throw in andre and colston....who am I undervaluing here? Hilton?...the #2 wr on the ravens?...dennis Johnson?....seems like big bunch of junk for elite players

Accept- easy choice for me.
