What do you think of these trades?

What do you think of these trades: $200 auction budget 4-keeper league, half ppr.

After his week 6 game (right before the London game he missed at the last second), I traded Melvin Gordon (couldn’t keep next year) for Derrius Guice ($7 in 2019) and Christian Kirk ($2 in 2019).

Then, a week or so before Golden Tate got traded to the Eagles, I traded Marlon Mack ($11), Christian Kirk ($2), Calvin Ridley ($18) and TY Hilton (couldn’t keep) for Kenny Golladay ($3).

My league uninamously criticized me at the time and said these were awful trades and were super pissed. I still finished in fourth place this year regardless. What does everyone here think of those two trades in retrospect?

I don't love the trade for Golladay (though this is based on how Mack and Golladay performed after your trade), if only because I think Mack, Kirk and Ridley should have been more than enough, and it would have been nice to get more for Gordon, but there's some serious potential for Guice and Golladay to start on your team for several years.

I mean I had Nick Chubb, Derrius Guice and Aaron Jones all at lower prices than Mack. Mack’s production would’ve helped a tiny bit this year but I like Golladay at $3 over Mack at $11 next year, and I 100% prefer Guice and Chubb over Mack (though AJ is kinda close now).
