Can I have cake and eat it too?

(The following post is regarding Team 1 in my signature)

I am really liking my wideouts but would like to feel as confident about my 'backs by potentially acquiring a stud.

By putting up to two 2019 1st round picks and one 2020 1st round pick, none of which are mine (original owners were 1.03 and 1.07 for 2018, to give some idea of projection), does anyone see a feasible way to obtain 'Zeke or Bell or Fournette without crippling my receiving corps?

I am not against sending a stud but, as the title suggests, I am curious if there are ways to offset that with the inclusion of the picks.

For some additional context, the 'Zeke owner drafted Kerryon and now has some interest in Riddick. This is how this thought got started in my mangled brain. Our IDP scoring is also as high as offensive players so there is quite a bit of value in them too (e.g., Antonio scored 283.00; Mosley scored 255.00).

How offensive of an offer is Miller, Foreman, Riddick, two (2) 2019 1st, 2020 1st?

In trying to not ship a stud to get a stud, am I aiming too high? Should I aim lower for someone like Aaron Jones or Lewis?

Anything, good or bad, you all have to say is always welcomed and appreciated. Good looks.

No. Offer a fair deal. Other GMs should be tarred and feathered for sending Zeke or Bell to a team that already looks like that and not getting back Nuk+, AB+, Evans+ or DJ+

We actually started talks with Evans or Cooper, but does a single 2019 1st close the gap between Evans and 'Zeke?

Probably not enough for Bell or Zeke, but an overpay for Fournette (at least for me).

Yes you can... but only if the other team is rebuilding. Look at team 1 in my sig. I just moved for Nuk and didn’t trade a starter.

I would think Miller Forman and 3 first’s would get Bell. Just the 3 first’s would probably get Lenny. Zeke would probably be the toughest to pry away.

It all depends on your league. Bell just moved in my league for a late ‘19, 1.4 and 1.10. I thought it was an undersell but the team is a dumpster fire and the owner wanted picks. Worst case scenario is the owner finds the offer so offensive that you don’t get a response.

I might on my own island here, but I wouldn't trade the package that you offered for any RB. You have a stable of RBs that might mix-and-match into productivity. At some point soon, you'll might need to address the QB position. By making the trade that you proposed, you're robbing yourself of any and all possibility to maneuver in-season and next year.

Say that AB goes down, that Cooper is still mediocre, and that your RBs are holding fort. Those picks would be muuuuch more valuable in that scenario than a better RB. Say that Brady hits the cliff or that Mahomes looks to WRs more than TEs. I would be loathe to trade all your future ammo, roster flexibility, and insurance for a RB, no matter how elite he is.

Alternatively, put it this way: If I were the other owner and got the offer that you proposed, then I'd snap accept. I think that your offer isnt' an insult -- it's an overpay.
