What do you think of this trade?
Jordy Nelson for Frank Gore and Carlos Hyde. I feel like I'm weak at RB and Jordy Nelson may be the only WR I can get the value for in a trade for a RB. Here are my WRs and RBs:

RB1 Zac Stacy
RB2 Ben Tate
RB3 Bernard Pierce
RB4 Jeremy Hill
RB5 Lance Dunbar

WR1 Julio Jones
WR2 Jordy Nelson
WR3 Antonio Brown
WR4 Randall Cobb
WR5 Reuben Randle
WR6 Justin Hunter

The guy I would be trading to already has a stacked team, and this makes his team stronger in my opinion. But it shores up a big need for me as well. What are your thoughts?

    I agree, Nelson is probably your best bet to trade, but you should try to get more for him than Gore and Hyde. Gio or Murray maybe? you could even trade Julio (foot problems scare me some despite huge upside) and get back Ball, Murray, or Lynch. Yeah, they have risks too, but you're trying to upgrade a weak position, there's gonna have to be some risk involved, finding value where others don't see it. Got a lot of good WRs though, so you should be able to flip one of them for another starting option at RB. Wouldn't stress about Stacy as much either. Played half of last season without Bradford and managed to do just fine.

    If your going to make a trade, at least try to get back 2 RB's or a RB/WR combo that can play. Gore and Hyde will be share carries by the middle of the season with Hyde taking over by the end. What value will Gore be at that point. Get Hyde, but add another RB or WR from another team that could start the 1st half of the year for you.

    You desperately need some more WR depth. Ben Tate could be great, but he also has a terrible injury history. Zac Stacy is unproven, and playing without a quarterback -- teams are going to stack up the box against the Rams, so he won't have much space. Frank Gore is probably worth putting into your starting lineup right away, and if Hyde performs like he should be able to he will be a solid backup. Gore is also quite old so who knows if he will make it through the season...

    Meanwhile your WR's are looking good. I'd probably have Cobb in instead of Nelson, to be honest. You're a lot deeper there.

    I meant RB depth there at the top, whoops.

    Do you mean you'd rather have Cobb in your lineup, or you would trade him instead?

    I mean I would rather have Cobb in the lineup. It's kind of a crapshoot between the two of them, though.
