I just don't think you need to mortgage your future for immediate production right now when you already have immediate production at your fingertips and the chance to build a lot of depth next year.
All great points, especially #3... I value the 2018 very highly, so really my only hangup is shipping off three of them (one is looking like it could easily be top 3). But in the end I want to win and if I have the chance to get a top 3 RB then I gotta pull the trigger.

The Zeke owner is playing the "I'll think about it but i'm very intrigued" game right now, so cross your fingers for me y'all!

ONLY way I wouldn't do it is if I could approach the DJ or Bell owner and get one of them cheaper, say for just 2 firsts? You do look like you could use a top end RB to complete your team so I agree with the masses, it's time to make a big move and solidify your championship chances for the next few years. The window is open, time to jump through it! Good luck and hopefully your trade partner doesn't come here?

OK guys the Zeke owner (of course) is saying no. He actually initiated the trade talks with all 4 firsts for Zeke, but I obviously countered with the trade in the OP.

Is four 2018 firsts too much for Zeke? I'm leaning yes and might have to just move on..
