In win now mode...general consensus, does this trade make sense for my team in sig.? Should I make this trade now or wait until end of preseason to make sure Jordy escapes healthy?

I asked if he'd take a younger back (like Prosise or Bilal) and my '18 first and he came back with "Powell and your 1st and we have a deal" (he has Forte). He also has AB and Gronk (only other 2 valuable players.

I know obtaining Jordy will help my team drastically, but the red flag here is his age and him having the ACL injury. He did ball out last year, but how many more years will he continue to be a weekly asset?

Bilal showed a glimpse of something last year and will probably be the lead back for the Jets after this season.
AND
My 2018 1st round should be a late pick.

Thoughts? I'm going to make this deal, but wanted to hear other opinions on this one since Jordy is a hard asset to evaluate.

I'd do this. The Jets are going to be BAAAD this year, and that's probably an understatement. When you're down 21-0 in the 1st quarter or fist half, there's only so many more times you can try to run the ball...

I wouldn't count on a ground game for the Jets being down early and often. That said, Powell will have some value in PPR leagues especially in garbage time but a late 2018 first isn't nearly enough to close the gap on Aaron Rodgers' top WR. Jordy easily.

I guess so, but I don't love it.

Easily Jordy side. He's firmly locked in as the WR1 for a superstar QB

Absolutely do the trade. Not sure people realize how old Powell is.

I'm probably the only Bilal believer on this site! But I think he was 1 of the top receiving backs last year and should have good numbers this year!

Trade was accepted! The way I see it, I'd rather have an older WR with one of the best QBs then Bilal with basically nothing going for him except garbage time. But my plan is to take ASJ in our rookie/FA draft so I can get a piece of that garbage time. If my plans work out, I should be sitting pretty.
