My team, quite frankly sucks. Schaub, Kolb, Locker, Skelton, Cassel, Fred Jackson, Beanie Wells, Mike Tolbert, Shonn Green, Roddy White, Greg Jennings, Jeremy Maclin, Rob Gronkowski. Yes, my team was RAVAGED by injuries last year, I was in contention for the playoffs then all the injuries hit and I ended up last.

So I know I am keeping Schaub (he's my best option at QB) and Gronkowski (he led my team in points last year, can't justify letting him go). Now I don't feel any other players on my team are worth keeping….Locker looks to be the starter but can be had later in the draft, Fred Jackson is coming off an injury and will be splitting time with CJ Spiller, just too much of a wild card for me.

I do hold the first overall pick and I will be drafting my choice of QB, so I know that isn't my biggest area of need. So I've started some trade discussion with other managers and I'm looking at trading for either Jay Cutler, Matt Forte or Jamal Chaarles. I'm thinking all three will have a similar cost of a low round draft pick (because they aren't being kept by their managers). Who should I look at?!
I think you have to keep either Jennings/Maclin out of that bunch. Maclin was ravaged by illness berfore and at the start of the season and I think he's going to have a big year. As much as I like Maclin, you have to keep Jennings. The #1WR on the top passing offence. Solid play.

As for the trade scenario, I think I'd rather keep Jennings. You can address your need for QB with the best available at #1 and fill out the rest of your team through the draft. None of those players are a significant enough improvement (if any) on your 3 keepers to warrant a trade.
