I came in, and I don't value many Denver guys very high in fantasy. QB situation was 2 man (Manning/Osweiler), RB situation 2 man (Hillman/CJA), WR situation 2 man (DT/Sanders). So that being said, I don't like anyone really that much. So I went into full rebuild mode and here are the trades I made:
1. Megatron + Justin Houston for 2016 5.05, 2017 1st + 4th
This was before the news of his retirement, and I was glad to get the deal even if I had to give up Houston, because I have a particular IDP strategy I like to deploy.
2. Gronk for 2016 1.09 and 2017 1st
Probably not the best deal I could have gotten for him, but my team is definitely not a contender, I wasn't going to receive a better deal from the guys, and I was eager to acquire picks
3. Jordan Reed for 2016 1.08, 4.08, 5.04, and 2017 2nd + 3rd
This one was especially hard for me to do, because I am a Redskins fan and I know he is the 2nd best TE in the league, but Reed's injuries worry me way too much and I received a good haul of picks
4. CJ Anderson for 2016 4.05, and 2017 2nd + 3rd
I know CJ is a great talent, and he deserves the job, but who knows what will go on there. I personally do believe that he should be the full time started and could produce huge numbers, but I also thought that last offseason and look where it got me...
5. Emmanuel Sanders for 2016 4.09 and 2017 2nd
Didn't receive much interest in him, but I had almost no interest in keeping him, plus the 2nd rounder I received here is from a team that should finish safely towards the bottom of the standings
6. David Cobb + Jerrick McKinnon for 2.02 and 4.10
I just wanted to make a deal, didn't value these guys highly and liked the value at 2.02
7. Demaryious Thomas for TJ Yeldon + 2017 2nd
I liked this deal a good amount, Yeldon is a young talent and I can use him as a bargaining chip to earn myself at the very least another 1st rounder
8. Josh Gordon + 2017 3rd for 2017 1st
This was when Gordon's status was unknown, and the 3rd rounder was from a big contender team
9. Kenny Bell for 2017 3rd
I just believe the guy won't get enough looks in TB, it was time for me to move on to a new lottery pick
So I now have...
1.08
1.09
2.02
4.05
4.08
4.09
4.10

These trades are really, really bad. I understand you are rebuilding and think there are a couple of stacked teams but you really missed a ton of value. You gave away Gronk. You nearly got the same amount of value for Reed.
C.J. Anderson is a buy low, I would not have traded him for a random 2nd next year and I know the draft is deep but he should fetch a lot more.
The Sanders deal is worse. He is turning 29 but he was the #19 WR this year and #5 last year. He put up over 1100 yards and basically missed 2 whole games. A 2017 2nd? Again the class is deep but he is worth a lot more than this.
DT is worth so much more than Yeldon. Your thinking is flawed saying at worst you can trade Yeldon for a 1st. DT should be getting at a bare minimum 2 1sts on his own.
