I think Orton could help Bowe's value, but obviously there's no way to know for sure. I'd definitely prefer Lloyd/Colston to Bowe/Boldin, so I like the trade for you.

Still not sure which 3 to keep out of the following:

Arian Foster
Philip Rivers
Fred Jackson
Marshawn Lynch
Steve Smith
Brandon Lloyd


Foster is automatic, Jackson and smith are on the wrong side of 30. Rivers is terrible this year, Lynch has been a beast the last 5-6 games.

I'd go Foster, Rivers, Smith.

Comes down to Smith and Rivers to me. Fred Jackson was just too good this year not to keep. Lloyd's good but not great. And despite Lynch's latest run, we're still talking about an injury prone guy whose career yards per carry is under 4. If it's like a 12 or 14 team league then yeah I think you gotta keep Rivers. But even looking at next year you'd figure Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Cam, Vick, and Stafford will all be better. With Rivers falling in that next tier with Eli and Romo. I'd be real surprised if Smith wasn't drafted next year before Rivers.

It is a 14 team league, Lynch is making it real hard on me but I understand your point. Im not sure if they have a draft deadline but if not im going to desperately try and create a package with Rivers + Smith +Even Lynch for a Rodgers, Brady etc..
