Please evaluate this trade for me. I am trading Jimmy Smith, Ronnie Brown, Todd Heap, and Antonio Bryant for Marvin Harrison, Tom Brady, Kerry Colbert, and Jacksonville Defense.
I have been struggling with Favre  as of late and wanted someone with NO surprises..hence Brady and I needed an upgrade at WR. The guy I traded with lost Priest Holmes and needed a RB. He has Curtis Martin, Bettis, and Pittman. So he really needed Brown. His WR's are Driver, Rod Smith, Andre Johnson and now Jimmy Smith. He also moved to Heap at TE instead of Heiden. Is this fair, considering the needs of both our teams? It really is important to me to be fair (relatively speaking!!!)

Well, looking at the needs for both of you, I would suggest doing Jimmy smith and Ronnie brown, for Marvin and Brady. That is a solid trade in my books.
Jax defense is starting to look up, and is a good play for this week, whearas Colbert is WW trash for the most part.
Antonio Bryant is starting to get more looks and is not a good trade for Colbert. Depending on who you have for your defense, is probably the main thing I would look at for this "in mass" trade.
Hope this helps a little.

The fact is that I felt kinda guilty taking Harrison, so I offered Bryant for Colbert. I have Burress, Horn, Moulds, and Darrell Jackson also so Bryant is an after thought. Fgured I'd drop Colbert and get Rhodes to back up Edge anyway!! Thanks for the opinion..I guess I should have told ya'll my thinking process

I wouldn't feel guilty at all for taking Harrison. Smith is the top producing (fantasy wise) WR in the league right now. Just because Marvin is the better receiver on the field, doesn't mean squat in Fantasy Football. It's all about the points.
If you feel that bad about it though, throw in Bryant along with him.

*edit* Uhmm...I had steve smith in my head during that statement. But, J. Smith and Marvin are very comparible in the fantasy point standings.

Ha... I was thinking that maybe you were drinking!!! I knew you had Steve on your mind and not Jimmy. I dove in and got the facts here. This is how each has scored thus far starting with week 1 and moving on to last week
Smith - 25, 4, 10, 16, 4, 3, 2, and 5 points 69 total
Harrison - 12, 3, 5, 22, 1, 9, 11, and 24 87 total
An obvious decline on Smith's part and a rise on Harrison's
Anyway...keep chuggin' O4L

The pared-down trade O4l recommends, Jimmy Smith and Ronnie Brown for Marvin Harrison and Tom Brady is fairly fair and much more tailored. I mean all your (PHAT) roster needs is a bump-up at QB; you even admit that the headaches Favre has been giving you are the primary impetus for the trade. With that in mind, if the guy you are trading with won't go with any of the aforementioned, why not just go for Jimmy Smith or Antonio Bryant (and perhaps a little sweetener to get the deal done) for Tom Brady? I just think that the original trade you outline is unnecessarily over-inflated. ... Good luck, though, whatever you do!

, Brown, and Fisher are back-ups. My only real fear here is that one of my studs get hurt and not having a legit #3 guy waiting. That is why I will drop Colbert and get Rhodes to protect James.
